Project Description: The approved plan provided for expansion of the POTW's hydraulic capacity from its present permitted average daily flow of 9.0 mgd to 17.0 mgd. The plant will be able to handle a peak daily flow of 26.5 mgd. To achieve these capabilities, the following major POTW modifications will be undertaken: one additional primary clarifier tank, three new aeration tanks, two new final settling tanks, a new dewatering belt filter, a new chlorine contact tank, new influent and effluent pumps, site work and dechlorination. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

Northeast Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, telephone (717) 826-2553.
Location: New Milford Borough and New Milford Township, Susquehanna County.
Project Description: The Department has completed its review of the Official Sewage Facilities Plan Update (Update) for New Milford Borough and portions of New Milford Township, revised July, 1995. The revised Update was sent to us by Milnes Engineering, Inc.'s (MEI's) September 13, 1995 transmittal letter. Previously, MEI had submitted an Update, revised November, 1993, for our review and comment. This Update was returned as it was incomplete and to give New Milford Township additional time to reach an agreement with both New Milford Borough and with New Milford Municipal Authority to provide sanitary sewer service within the Township. The Department has found that the Update is now acceptable and hereby grants planning approval.
The Planning Area included under the Update is:
* The entire Borough of New Milford, and
* The following portions of New Milford Township:
--Properties adjoining Route 11 North of New Milford Borough up to and including Township Road 698,
--Properties adjoining Route 1018 from Route 11 up to and including the Blue Ridge High School,
--Properties adjoining Route 11 southwest of New Milford Borough up to and including the Summit Inn,
--Properties adjoining Route 492 east of New Milford Borough from the Borough line to and including Lakeside Village, and
--Properties surrounding Page Lake on private roads of the Lakeside Outing Club, excepting those properties in Jackson Township.
The Update was written to address the continuing problems faced by both the Borough and the Township due to repeated malfunctions of the onlot sewage disposal systems. In addition, the Update proposes the elimination of the wastewater treatment plant that serves the Blue Ridge High School.
The current status of sewage disposal systems was evaluated and alternatives for improved sewerage facilities were proposed to meet the identified sewage disposal needs for the foreseeable future. The chosen alternative consists of the installation of a centralized sewerage collection system, and construction of a 250,000 gallons per day wastewater treatment facility (WWTF). These systems may subsequently be owned by the New Milford Municipal Authority. For New Milford Borough, the sewer system will be either low pressure or vacuum. For New Milford Township, the sewer system will be low pressure. Sewage from both Page Lake and Lakeside Village and the Blue Ridge High School will be conveyed through force mains to the Borough. The WWTF is sized to treat 851 EDUs initially and 916 EDUs ultimately. Initially, 489 EDUs from New Milford Borough and 362 EDUs from New Milford Township will be connected to the system. The proposed WWTF is a Sequential Batch Reactors System. The proposed plant discharge will enter Martins Creek.
The Department's review of the Update has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from the proposals.
In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.2(a)) (Act 537) and Chapter 71 of the Department's Regulations, 25 Pa. Code Chapter 71, the Department will hold both the Borough and the Township responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the chosen alternative, as stated in the EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Page iii of the Update); in Section VII Alternative Selection (Page 63 of the Update); and in Section IX Plan Summary, where a Schedule of Implementation is presented (Pages 66 through 69 of the Update).
Location: Tobyhanna Township, Monroe County.
Project Description: The Department received the latest Sewage Facilities Plan Revision titled ''Tobyhanna Township Act 537 Revision, October 1995'' on December 4, 1995 and additional documents on January 9, 1996, as prepared by Michael J. Pasonick, Jr., Inc. The Department's review of the plan has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from the proposal and we hereby grant planning approval for the project.
The plan proposes the following:
1. Construction of a 0.300 mgd advanced wastewater sewage treatment plant to serve 560 EDUs initially and 1,000 EDUs ultimately from the Blakeslee Village, Greenwood Acres, and Camelot Forest areas of the Tobyhanna Township.
