SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT

PLAN APPROVAL

   The Department of Environment Protection has taken actions on municipal requests for Act 537 Plan Approval.

   Any person aggrieved by this action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514), and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Market Street State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the Board through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Environmental Hearing Board within 30 days of receipt of written notice of this action unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audio tape from the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.


Actions under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20.

   Southeast Regional Office, Sewage Planning Specialist Supervisor, Lee Park, Suite 6010, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428.

   The Plan Approval is granted for a revision to the Official Sewage Facilities Plan of Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County to provide for the installation of a low pressure gravity sewer along Panorama Road to eliminate 2 onlot sewage disposal system malfunctions and to provide public sewerage service to the remaining 13 residences. The 6,000 gpd flows will be conveyed by the Gulf Creek pump station to the City of Philadelphia Southeast Wastewater Treatment Plant.

   The Plan Approval is granted for a revision to the Official Sewage Facilities Plan of Schwenksville Borough, Montgomery County to provide for the re-rating of the Schwenksville Borough Authority's Wastewater Treatment Plant from .206 MGD to .300 MGD (annual average). This will be accomplished by:

   1.  Replacing each of the three existing raw sewage pumps with new 440 gpm capacity pumps.

   2.  Minor piping modifications to divert chlorinated effluent flow from the aeration tank directly to the WWTP outfall.

   This planning approval does not relieve the project sponsor of the responsibility to secure a Department permit for the construction and operation of the proposed facility.

   Regional Office:  Water Management Program Manager, Southcentral Region, 909 Elmerton Ave., Harrisburg, PA 17110-0082.

   Union Township, Lebanon County, RR1, Box 1940, Jonestown, PA 17038; Swatara Township, Lebanon County, One Supervisors Drive, Jonestown, PA 17038-0916; Bethel Township, Lebanon County, 150 South Pine Grove St., Fredericksburg, PA 17026.

   This multi-municipal plan, which proposed public sewer service for Monroe Valley located in the northern part of all three Townships, was disapproved because of a failure to address the 13 plan deficiencies identified in our letter dated January 30, 1995. As discussed in our January 29, 1998, failure to respond within specified time frames would result in plan disapproval. The original deficiencies are listed below.

   1.  The alternate selection is incomplete. Your plan submission identifies a need and indicates that it is technically feasible to provide public sewerage to the Village of Lickdale, Monroe Valley Development and Camp Strause service areas, however, the plan fails to select an alternative that provides for completion of this project. (VIII-A).

   2.  The alternative selection is incomplete. On page III-5, the plan advises Union, Swatara and Bethel Townships to enact a well drillers ordinance to supplement their onlot management programs. However, the recommendation is ignored in the selected alternatives section. (VIII-A)

   3.  The alternative selection is incomplete. The plan recommends adoption of an OLDS Management Ordinance but yet no provision is found to either select or reject this alternative. No milestones appear on the implementation schedule for development or adoption. A model ordinance supplied in the plan appears to be a blank copy of an old sample OLDS Ordinance from the Department that does not match the appropriate description beginning on page III-13. (VIII-A)

   4.  Municipal responses to letters received during the public comment period have not been included. Please include municipal responses to letters received from Glace Associates dated June 28, 1994 concerning wastewater treatment plant needs in the industrial park area, the Lebanon County Planning Department dated June 24, 1994, Derck and Edson Associates dated June 24, 1994 concerning a land developer. (Item 6)

   5.  The alternatives analysis is incomplete. The plan makes no discussion or provisions for the potential use of SFTF (small flow treatment facilities). Please address. (V-A 10, 13a)

   6.  The alternative analysis is incomplete. Your plan does not detail or provide cost estimates for each of the alternatives identified on page III-12 of your plan. (VI-D)

   7.  The implementation schedule does not include milestones for adoption of any of the ordinances proposed in your plan. Please provide an implementation schedule that includes appropriate milestones to implement all ordinances, within 1 year of plan approval. (Item 8)

   8.  The institutional evaluation is incomplete. In addition to the municipal adoptions from Bethel, Swatara and Union Townships, a letter of approval or an adoption from the Northern Lebanon County Authority is required. Please provide proposed inter-municipal agreements. Both existing North Lebanon County Authority and the Monroe Valley Joint Committee should be consulted to complete this section. (VII-A, B, C, D)

   9.  Plan consistency with all required programs has not been established. Consistency has not been established with the State Water Plan, Wetlands Protection, and Pennsylvania Historic and Museum Commission (PHMC). PHMC actually indicated further action was required, yet no follow up action was taken. (VI-A 6, 9, 11)

   10.  The proposed funding sources have changed dramatically since our initial preplanning conference. Your plan now identifies the potential use of State and/or Federal funding vice private/authority funding. For State and Federal funding, all Title II requirements must be satisfied. These requirements are identified on pages I-13 thru I-16 of the Plan Completeness Checklist and were omitted from your plan. These pages are attached to this letter for your convenience.

   11.  In order to prepare an accurate project priority rating for State or Federal funding, please complete, map and submit the Needs Analysis Chart for OLDS malfunctions and well study results for the entire project area using the data found on page II-4 identifying 307 existing units in the project area and the information found on pages II-15 thru II-21.

   12.  Page II-1 incorrectly indicates the COWAMP plan is not available. A copy of the applicable COWAMP plan is available at our regional office in Harrisburg. Please contact Mary DiSanto at (717) 540-5018 to arrange an appointment for your COWAMP review. (I, VI)

   13.  The amount of water sample testing may be insufficient. The sample rate requirement is 15% of the wells in the planning area. The samples that were taken appear to be grouped in clusters. Please review the sample locations to determine if any project areas do not have a representative sample. Fill any data gaps discovered or clearly demonstrate that sampling is representative of the entire planning area. (III-B)

   Derry Township, Mifflin County, 15 West Mill Street, P. O. Box M, Yeagertown, PA 17099.

   The approved plan provided for construction of five public sewer projects to serve Maitland, North Maitland, South Hills, Jacks Creek, and Vira areas of the Township. Various collection system types will be used. Scheduling is dependent upon obtaining necessary funding. An onlot disposal system (OLDS) management program will be implemented in the entire Township. 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.


Plan Revision Approval Granted June 10, 1998 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.

   Shy Beaver RV Park, 76 Campsites, Hopewell Township, Huntingdon County.

   The approved plan revision provided for approval of a revision to the Official Plan of Hopewell Township, Huntingdon County. Project involves construction of a small flow treatment facility to serve 14 additional proposed campground sites, for combined maximum flows of 1,400 gallons per day. The campground is located 1/2 mile east on State Route 3002 beginning at the junction with State Route 26. Treated effluent is to be discharged into an unnamed tributary of Shy Beaver Creek.

   Any required NPDES Permits or Water Management Permits must be obtained in the name of owner.

   Southwest Regional Office:  Regional Manager, Water Management, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745, (412) 442-4000.

   Allegheny Township, Westmoreland County, 136 Community Building Road, Leechburg, PA 15656.

   The plan recommends the replacement of the Chartiers Run Sewage Treatment Plant with a pump station and conveyance of sewage flows along Melwood Road to the existing Kiski Valley Water Pollution Control Authority's Pine Run Interceptor at Route 56 via pump stations, force mains and gravity sewers. It also recommends sewering the Markle area within 10 years via the construction of gravity collector sewers and a pump station near Northmoreland Park and conveyance of sewage flows through the force main to the Melwood Road Interceptor via Airshaft Road.

   The Township and the Municipal Authority propose to use Pennsylvania State revolving funds administered by the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) for the construction of the sewerage facilities. The Department's review of the Sewage Facilities Update Revisions has not identified any direct significant environmental impacts due to the proposed project, however indirect impacts may occur due to the accessibility of prime agricultural land to the new sewer system.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

Under Act 2, 1995, Preamble 3

   The following final reports were submitted 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 (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) 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.
