Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.
Location: Greenfield Township, Blair County, R. D. 1, Box 948, Claysburg, PA 16625.
The approved plan provided for expanding a previously approved wastewater treatment plant from a 1.0 mgd capacity to a 1.5 mgd capacity. The larger treatment plant is due to the change in original project scope to provide sanitary sewer service to the Blue Knob area sooner than originally proposed in a plan approved by the Department September 8, 1994. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.

Wilson area, Upper Lawn area east of the proposed sewer extension, and Lawn Road/Lyndel Drive areas will be placed in an onlot management program. The Township's Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance will be modified to address hydrogeologic concerns in areas identified as having elevated levels of nitrates in groundwater supplies.

Springettsbury Township Wastewater Treatment Facility
Agricultural Utilization Justification
Hellam Township has opposed the issuance of this permit and has cited two primary reasons: 1) their 537 plan states efforts will be made by the Township to resist additional permits for sludge applications within the Township and 2) documented compliance problems.
The Township's basis for concern in the 537 plan is the existing nitrate contamination of the groundwater and the future potential for nitrates getting into the groundwater. The Department contends that agricultural utilization sites are required to calculate nutrient loading rates based on analysis of the sewage sludge and crop nutrient requirements. In addition, the regulations have further stipulations to help in the management of nutrients and soils on agricultural utilization sites. With these requirements in place, the use of sewage sludge as a fertilizer source will be protective of the environment.
The Department has met with Springettsbury Township to discuss compliance related issues. As a result of these discussions, Springettsbury Township has agreed to voluntarily take the steps needed to bring them into compliance regarding the cited issued. Therefore, the Department is satisfied that Springettsbury Township is in compliance with all applicable rules and regulations of the Department.
