Location: Taylor Township, Fulton County, P. O. Box 627, Hustontown, PA 17229.
The approved plan provides for construction of a sewage collection system and a .04 mgd sewage treatment plant discharging to in ground trenches. The system will serve the village of Hustontown. An onlot disposal system management program will address the remainder of the Township.

Location: City of Sunbury, Northumberland County.
Project Description: DEP has approved an update revision to the City of Sunbury's Act 537 Official Sewage Facilities Plan which calls for the construction of $22.3 million worth of improvement to the City's existing wastewater treatment facility and its combined sewage collection system. Phase 1 of the project will expand the organic and hydraulic treatment capacity of the existing sewage treatment facility to 8,300 pounds per day and 4.2 million gallons per day, respectively. The wet weather treatment capacity will also be expanded to allow more of the storm event flows from the City's combined sewage collection system to be processed through the sewage treatment facility. Phase 2 of the project will provide treatment, equalization and disinfection facilities to allow the city to capture and treat still more of its collection system's wet weather flows.
The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

Preamble 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediations Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908) and Chapter 250 Administration of Land Recycling Program.
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8 Administration of Land Recycling Program requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediations Standards Act (act). Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media, benefits of reuse of the property, and in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. 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 nonresidential 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. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.

Certification Request Initiated By: Department of the Army, Philadelphia District, Corps of Engineers, Wanamaker Building, 100 Penn Square East, Philadelphia, PA 19107-3390.
Project Description/Location: This activity involves the Schuylkill River Maintenance Dredging project. Dredging would take place within Fairmount Park, at three locations between Strawberry Bridge downstream to Fairmount Dam, in the City of Philadelphia. The first location is a shallow shoal area on the downstream side of Peter's Island, which is a section of a scull boat racecourse. The second site is the raw water intake for the City of Philadelphia, located on the west shore of the Schuylkill River. The third site is around and under small, floating wooden docks in front of Boathouse Row. A total of approximately 32,000 cubic yards of material will be removed by a small hydraulic cutter-head dredge. The material will be transported through metal piping to Fairmount Dam, where it will be pumped into barges on the downstream side of the dam, in the tidal portion of the Schuylkill River. The barges will transport the sediment downstream to the Fort Mifflin confined disposal facility, near the mouth of the Schuylkill River and the Delaware Estuary--Zone 4, for unloading.
Final Action on Request: Certification Granted.
