Proposed NPDES Permit Renewal Actions for Minor Sewage Discharges

   The following parties have applied to renew their current NPDES permits to allow the continued discharge of controlled wastewater into the surface waters of this Commonwealth. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has made a tentative determination to renew these permits and proposes to issue them, subject to their current permit effluent limitations, and monitoring and reporting requirements, with appropriate and necessary updated requirements to reflect new or changed regulations and other requirements. The updates may include, but will not be limited to, applicable permit conditions and/or requirements addressing combined sewer overflows (CSOs), municipal sewage sludge management, and total residual chlorine control (TRC). Any major changes to or deviations from the terms of the existing permit will be documented and published with the final Department actions.

   The EPA, Region III, Regional Administrator has waived the right to review or object to these proposed permit actions under the waiver provision 40 CFR 123.6E.

   Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permits are invited to submit a statement to the Field Operations indicated as the office responsible, within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day period will be considered in the formulation of the final determinations regarding these applications and proposed permit actions. Comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a brief statement to inform the Field Office of the basis of the comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based. A public hearing may be held if the Field Office considers the public response significant.

   Following the 30-day comment period, the Water Management Program Managers will make a final determination regarding the proposed permit action. Notice of this determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, at which time this determination may be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.

   The permit renewal application and related documents, proposed effluent limitations and special conditions, comments received and other information are on DEP's file. The documents may be inspected at, or a copy requested from, the Field Office that has been indicated above the application notice.

Public Notice of the Renewal and Availability of NPDES General Permit No. PAG310001 for Discharges from Stripper Oil Well Facilities

   The Department of Environmental Protection has renewed a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general permit for the controlled discharge of treated production fluids from primary recovery, gas drive and waterflooded stripper oil well facilities into surface waters of the Commonwealth.

   This general permit applies specifically to discharges from primary recovery, gas drive and waterflood stripper oil well facilities located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Stripper oil wells produce 10 barrels per well per calendar day or less of crude oil. Operations using tertiary recovery methods such as thermal or chemical methods, and commercial, public or offsite centralized treatment facilities are excluded from coverage under this permit. The facilities affected by the general permit are included under 40 CFR Part 435 Subpart F--Stripper Subcategory and SIC Code 1311, Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas.

   An abbreviated description of the conditions of the permit are as follows:

   --The permit does not authorize discharges to waters classified as ''Special Protection'' as defined in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 93;

   --The effluent limitations are:

AverageInstantaneous
Discharge ParameterMonthlyMaximum
Total suspended solids, mg/l3060
Oil and Grease, mg/l1530
Total Iron, mg/l3.57
Acidity, mg/lless than alkalinity
pHwithin the limits of 6.0--9.0
Flow, gpm*

   *The rate of discharge (in gallons per minute) shall not exceed the amount specified on the individual approval for each outfall. The maximum volume of discharge in a day that may be approved under this general permit is 1,000 gallons.

   --The discharge shall not result in a violation of the water quality criteria prescribed in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 16 and 93 for the various designated uses of the receiving stream.

   --The operator shall not add any water as dilution water in order to meet the effluent limits in the permit.

   --Prior to commencing any discharge, a Part II Construction/Operation Permit under section 308 of the Clean Streams Law must be obtained.

   Public notice of the draft renewed general permit was made in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on August 10, 1996. Comments on the draft renewed general permit were accepted until September 10, 1996.

   Unless otherwise approved by the Department for submission at a later date, applications for coverage under the general permit are to be filed at least 180 days prior to start up and commencement of discharge.

   The approval for coverage under the general permit for each outfall will be valid for 5 years from the date approved by the Department. If the general permit is not renewed, the approval for coverage will expire the same date as the general permit. Operators who desire to continue to discharge will need to obtain an individual NPDES permit.

   Application forms may be obtained at either regional office of the Bureau of Oil and Gas Management at the following locations:

   Dept. of Environmental Protection, NW Regional Office--Oil and Gas, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, (814) 332-6860; Dept. of Environmental Protection, SW Regional Office--Oil and Gas, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745, (412) 442-4000.

   Completed applications should be submitted to the appropriate regional office. No application fee will be required for coverage under this general NPDES permit.

   Each application for coverage will be reviewed for compliance with the terms of the general permit which includes verifying that the water quality standards of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 93 will not be violated. An individual approval will be issued to dischargers that qualify.

   The following parties have applied for an NPDES permit to discharge stormwater from a proposed construction activity into the surface waters of the Commonwealth. Unless otherwise indicated on the basis of preliminary review and application of lawful standards and regulations, the Department of Environmental Protection proposes to issue a permit to discharge, subject to certain limitations set forth in the permit and special conditions. These proposed determinations are tentative. Limitations are provided in the permit as erosion and sedimentation control measures and facilities which restrict the rate and quantity of sediment discharged.

   Where indicated, the EPA, Region III, Regional Administrator has waived the right to review or object to this proposed permit action under the waiver provision 40 CFR 123.24(d).

   Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permit are invited to submit a statement to the Regional Office or County Conservation District Office indicated as the responsible office, within 30 days from the date of this public notice. A copy of the written comments should be sent to the County Conservation District Office. Comments reviewed within this 30-day period will be considered in the formulation of the final determinations regarding this application. Responses should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Regional Office of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based. A public hearing may be held if the Regional Office considers the public response significant.

   Following the 30-day comment period, the Water Program Manager will make a final determination regarding the proposed permit. Notice of this determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at which time this determination may be appealable to the Environmental Hearing Board.

   The application and related documents, including the erosion and sedimentation control plan for the construction activity, are on file and may be inspected at the County Conservation District Office or the Department Regional Office indicated above the application.

Proposed Consent Order and Agreement

Oliver Site and RSR Jones Site
Waterford Township and City of Erie, Erie County

   Under section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has settled with Barney R. Radov (Radov) and RSR Investment Company (RSR) concerning the Department's claims against them for the Oliver Site and the RSR Jones Site in Erie County, PA.

   In the past, wastes containing hazardous substances were disposed at the Oliver Site and the RSR Jones Site. These hazardous substances have contaminated the soil, surface water, sediment and groundwater at each Site. Concerning the Oliver Site, the Department has incurred more than $1 million in past costs, and it estimates that it will cost approximately $3 million more to clean-up that Site. Concerning the RSR Jones Site, the Department has incurred at least $348,000 in past costs, and it estimates that it will cost approximately $1.5 million more to clean-up that Site. However, based upon Radov's and RSR's available assets, the Department has determined that Radov and RSR cannot pay for any substantial portion of the response costs at either Site. Accordingly, the Department has agreed to enter into a financial inability to pay settlement with Radov and RSR.

   Under this settlement, Radov and RSR will pay $155,150 in principal plus interest to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund. RSR will also place a lien on the RSR Jones Site for $348,000. The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the Consent Order and Agreement between the Department and Radov and RSR.

   The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Consent Order and Agreement for 60 days from the date of this public notice. The Department may withdraw its consent if the comments disclose facts or considerations which indicate that this settlement is inappropriate, inadequate or not in the public interest. This settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's responses to any significant comments to the Consent Order and Agreement.

   Copies of the Consent Order and Agreement are available for inspection at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Edward Orris, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481. Further information may be obtained by contacting Edward Orris at (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at 1 (800) 645-5984.
