SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT
PLAN APPROVAL
Plan disapproval issued under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).
Regional Office, Water Management Program Manager, Southcentral Region, One Ararat Blvd., Harrisburg, PA 17110.
Location: Cromwell Township, Huntingdon County, P. O. Box 340, Orbisonia, PA 17243.
The plan is disapproved because Cromwell Township failed to address eight plan deficiencies identified in the Department's letter to the municipality dated March 28, 1994. With the lack of an approved Official Plan, as required by 25 Pa. Code § 71.11, permit limitations specified in 25 Pa. Code § 72.23 are now in effect for specific areas of a municipality. The affected areas are depicted as areas IV, VI and VII on Exhibit II-9 in the disapproved plan submission.
The plan deficiencies are listed in the following paragraphs.
1. Proposed project user costs jeopardize plan implementation. Annual user costs of $1,167/yr. are dependent upon a significant, assumed grant amount from FmHA and do not include the purchase cost for 51,000 gpd treatment capacity from Orbisonia--Rockhill Joint Municipal Authority (ORJMA). The former is an unknown and the latter will increase user cost. Methods of cost cutting, additional funding analysis and alternative low technology be explored in an effort to enable affordable plan implementation.
2. Sewer service area mapping Exhibit 1--2 does not provide sufficient detail. A map scale approaching 1 inch to 1,000 feet is recommended to accurately depict the proposed sewer service area. All existing improved and undeveloped lots must be included.
3. The alternatives analysis is inadequate. Area VI includes significant needs and an under utilized waste water treatment plant (Southern Huntingdon County High School), yet the alternative of serving the Pogue area with this treatment plant (with or without municipal ownership) was not considered.
4. Deficiency deleted.
5. A discrepancy exists concerning the selected alternative project size. Number of residences, population and number of edus for Area VII conflict on numerous tables in Plan section II and III. These discrepancies must be resolved.
6. Project implementation schedule is incomplete. The implementation schedule does not include milestones for completion of Phase II or creation of a township sewer authority. All significant milestones necessary to successfully implement this plan must be included.
7. Plan consistency with Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission requirements has not been documented. Required documentation concerning plan consistency with the Commonwealth's historical and archeological resources protection programs must be included.
8. Plan consistency with protection of plant and animal species of concern has not been established. Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory (PNDI) reported 10 plant species and one animal species of special concern. The plan, however, does not contain any indication that the appropriate agencies were contacted or agree with any mitigation efforts. Plan consistency must be documented.
9. All subdivisions recorded since May 15, 1972, have not been identified or mapped as required. Be advised that no regulatory distinction is made for the number of lots in a subdivision, in base plans; therefore major or minor classifications are irrelevant. The plan indicates that six major subdivisions have occurred since 1972. Additionally, 59 minor subdivisions are reported from 1985 to the present, leaving a 13-year period without any minor subdivision activity. Please identify and map the location of all subdivisions since 1972, determine their planning status and complete reconstructive planning as necessary.

The following final reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Provisions of Chapter 3 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of any final reports.
