Applications for Approval of the Following Projects under Article 10.3, Article 11 and/or Section 3.8 of the Compact:

   1.  Valley Township D-88-31 CP Renewal. An application for the renewal of a groundwater withdrawal project to supply up to 4.5 million gallons (mg)/30 days of water to the applicant's distribution system from Well Nos. V1, V2 and V4. Commission approval on October 26, 1988 was extended to 10 years and will expire unless renewed. The applicant requests that the total withdrawal from all wells remain limited to 4.5 mg/30 days. The project is located in Valley Township, Chester County, PA.

   2.  Cloister Spring Water Company D-97-46. A project to increase the withdrawal of water from an existing spring house intake, from approximately 100,000 gallons per day (gpd) to 300,000 gpd. The intake is located at Spring No. 3, one of several headwater springs at the Arrowhead Springs Farm which are tributary to Mill Creek in the Tulpehocken Creek watershed. The spring house is located just southeast of the intersection of West Bethany and South Fort Zellers Roads in Millcreek Township, Lebanon County, PA. The withdrawal will be exported by tank truck and will continue to serve the applicant's bottling plant located in the City of Lancaster, Lancaster County, PA in the Susquehanna River Basin.

   3.  City of Trenton D-98-9 CP. An application to expand the applicant's service area for both water supply and sewerage to include a portion of Hopewell Township, Mercer County, NJ. The applicant's water distribution system serves the City of Trenton and surrounding areas in Ewing, Lawrence and Hamilton Townships. Potable water will be provided to the project service area from the Delaware River by the applicant's existing filtration plant located near the Calhoun Street Bridge. Up to 1.35 million gallons per day of sewerage capacity will be provided to the project areas in Hopewell Township. The wastewater will be conveyed to the applicant's existing sewage treatment plant on Lamberton Road in the City of Trenton. The treated wastewater will continue to be discharged in Water Quality Zone 2 of the Delaware River, approximately 2.5 miles downstream of the applicant's water supply intake. Both the applicant's water withdrawal and discharge facilities have sufficient capacity to meet the needs of the proposed project.
