PA 0023043-Amendment No. 1. Sewage. Borough of North East, 58 East Main Street, North East, PA 16428.
This is a revision to the notice published on July 4, 1998.
The notice in the July 4, 1998, Bulletin advertised that the action being taken on the Borough's NPDES permit resulted from an application submitted by the Borough. This was inaccurate. The permit action resulted from a determination by the EPA and DEP that the Borough must undertake a pretreatment program as part of its NPDES permit obligations. The reopening of the NPDES permit to include pretreatment program conditions was not initiated by a permit application from the Borough, as previously advertised.
