SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT

PLAN APPROVAL


Plan approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).

   Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, Southcentral Region, One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110.

   Location: Jackson Township, York County, R. D. 4, Box 4308, Spring Grove, PA 17362.

   The approved plan provided for construction of a .4 mgd wastewater treatment facility. Initially, .4 mgd (winter) or .2 mgd (summer) will discharge to the P. H. Glatfelter treatment facility. As flows increase, a total of .28 mgd will be directed to a municipal spray irrigation facility for land application with the remainder directed to the P. H. Glatfelter facility. 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.

   Northcentral Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448, telephone (717) 327-0530.

   Location: Cooper Township, Clearfield County.

   Project Description: Approved update calls for the construction of new wastewater collection and treatment facilities to serve approximately 900 developed properties located in four village areas in the township. The $9 million plus project will consist of two separate vacuum collection systems, each served by its own sequencing batch reactor treatment facility. The treatment facility serving the Grassflat area, with a capacity of 120,000 gpd, will discharge treated effluent to an unnamed tributary of Moshannon Creek. The treatment facility serving the villages of Winburne, Lanse and Kylertown, with a capacity of 185,000 gpd, will discharge treated effluent directly to Moshannon Creek.

   The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

   Location: Mansfield Borough, Tioga County.

   Project Description: The approved update calls for an upgrade of the existing wastewater treatment facility serving the borough, and the eventual expansion of this facility from capacity of 1.0 mgd to 1.3 mgd. The upgrade and expansion will allow the borough to provide for its own wastewater needs through a 20 year planning horizon and will provide for growth and from new service areas in adjoining sections of Richmond Township. Discharge of the treated effluent from the upgraded, expanded treatment facility will continue to be to the Tioga River. The plan also provides for continued storm and sanitary sewer separation work in the borough and a continuation of the borough's efforts to remove inflow and infiltration from its sanitary sewers.

   The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

Under Act 2, 1995

Preamble 3

   The following final reports were submitted to the Department of Environmental Protection under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).

   Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (the act) require the Department of Environmental Protection to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of any final reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or non-residential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed, and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected.

   For further information concerning the final report, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program in the Department of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice of receipt of a final report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate Regional Office listed. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at 1 (800) 654-5984.

   Southeast Regional Office: Environmental Cleanup Program Manager, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, telephone (610) 832-5950.

   Azar Residence, New Britain Township, Bucks County. Kevin P. Van Kuren, All Phase Environmental Services, Inc., 131 Technology Dr., Bethlehem, PA 18015, has submitted a Final Report concerning remediation of site soils and groundwater contaminated with BTEX and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. The report is intended to document remediation of the site to meet the Statewide health standard.

SOLID AND HAZARDOUS WASTE

BENEFICIAL USE DETERMINATIONS


Beneficial use approved under the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.103) and regulations for municipal and residual waste.

   Regional Office: Regional Environmental Program Manager, 555 North Lane, Suite 6010, Lee Park, Conshohocken, PA 19428.

   Beneficial Use Number BUI-0029.  Nutrecon Inc., South Main and Randolph Avenue, P. O. Box 442, Ambler, PA 19002-0442. On March 26, 1997 the Southeast Regional Office approved a Beneficial Use request from Nutrecon Inc., for the articultural utilization of nutresoil.

OPERATE WASTE PROCESSING OR DISPOSAL AREA OR SITE


Permits issued under the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003) and regulations to operate a solid waste processing or disposal area or site.

   Northcentral Regional Office, Regional Solid Waste Manager, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701, telephone (717) 327-3653.

   Permit No. 603453.  Newton Farm, Ralph Newton (R. R. 2, Box 165A, Wyalusing, PA 18853). Permit for sewage sludge agricultural utilization at a facility located in Terry Township, Bradford County, issued in the regional office on April 1, 1997.

Override Justification:

   Issue: Since the township ordinance requires sand mound septic systems, in most instances for onlot systems, it seems completely contradictory to allow haulers to spread more concentrated sewage directly onto the ground.

   Override: The regulations and permit conditions require sewage sludge to be applied to lands with a specified depth of acceptable soils. In this way, these sites function exactly the same as onlot systems where contaminants are renovated as they percolate through this soil column. Additionally, in the agricultural utilization process of this land application, nutrients and metals are taken up and utilized by the crop. This further use of potential contaminants does not occur in onlot systems and is an added benefit in this land application program.

   Issue: The township supervisors are seriously concerned for the well-being of local wells and those who use them. The supervisors feel that after extended periods of spreading sewage sludge on the same grounds, that there would be some leaching into peoples water sources.

   Override: There are many safeguards built into the land application program to assure that groundwater and water sources are not impacted. Set back distances are required from water supply wells, specific soil depth is required to the seasonal high groundwater level and specifically calculated application rates are just a few of the mechanisms required by the regulations and the permit to assure that groundwater is not impacted.

   Issue: The township supervisors are concerned about run-off from the land application area and its impact on the Susquehanna River and the Chesapeake Bay.

   Override: Again, the regulations and permit have many safeguards built into the land application program to prevent run-off from these areas. These include, but are not limited to, set back distances from streams and water conveyance channels, slope restrictions, incorporation requirements and specific application rates. The potential for run-off was recognized and the regulations were written to prevent this occurrence.


Closure plan approved under the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003) and regulations for closure of a solid waste disposal area or site.

   Northeast Regional Office: Regional Solid Waste Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, telephone (717) 826-2516.

   Permit I. D. No. 300913.  Westwood Generating Station, Westwood Energy Properties, Ltd. Partnership, c/o CRSS Capital, Inc., Suite 900, 1177 West Loop South, Houston, TX 77027. A permit modification authorizing the approval of the revised closure plan final grades plus E & S controls; changes to the groundwater monitoring systems; and use of a new final cover consisting of 1.5:1 ratio ash and compost mixture for this residual waste landfill, located in Frailey Township, Schuylkill County.
