ENVIRONMENTAL HEARING BOARD
Lower Salford Township Authority v. DEP; EHB Doc. No. 95-244-MG
[26 Pa.B. 3052] The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) and Lower Salford Township Authority (LSTA) have agreed to a settlement of the appeal at the above-referenced docket.
On October 4, 1995, the Department issued NPDES Permit No. PA0056413 (Permit) to LSTA, authorizing the discharge of treated effluent to the waters of Skippack Creek from a Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) to be built by LSTA, and setting effluent limits and monitoring requirements for the discharge. The POTW will be located in Lower Salford Township, Montgomery County, PA.
On November 2, 1995, LSTA filed a Notice of Appeal with the Environmental Hearing Board seeking review of the Department's issuance of the Permit. In its appeal, LSTA objected to certain portions of the Permit, including the calculation of mass pollutant limits based on an effluent discharge of 0.90 million gallons per day (mgd).
The parties have agreed to a settlement of the appeal, the major provisions of which include: (1) The Department has agreed to propose an amendment to the NPDES Permit to delete the 0.90 mgd limitation on flow.
(2) LSTA has agreed to the dismissal of the appeal at this docket.
(3) LSTA retains the right to challenge the mass limits contained in the subsequent renewal of the NPDES permit for any reason, including the reasons enumerated in its appeal.
