SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT

PLAN APPROVAL


Plan approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).

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

   Location: Paradise Township, Lancaster County, 196 Black Horse Rd., P. O. Box 40, Paradise, PA 17562.

   The approved plan provides for construction of sewer line extensions to serve the Harristown Road/Ocola Drive area within 5 years and the Vintage/Kinzers area within 10 years. Additionally, the Township's onlot disposal maintenance program will address the remaining areas not currently served by public sewers. 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.

   Location: Hamilton Township, Adams County, 272 Mummert's Church Road, Abbottstown, PA 17301.

   The approved plan provides for construction of a sewage collection system, pump stations and force mains necessary to connect to the Berwick Township sewage treatment plant. The Berwick Township sewage treatment plan will be expanded from .02 mgd to .03 mgd treatment capacity. Additionally, an onlot disposal maintenance program will be adopted to address sewage disposal in the remainder of the 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.

   Location: Alsace Township, Berks County, 65 Woodside Ave., Temple, PA 19560.

   The plan submission is disapproved because it failed to address the plan deficiencies identified in the Department's letter dated April 15, 1992. As discussed in a July 19, 1999 letter, failure to submit a new plan prior to December 31, 1999 would result in plan disapproval. The original deficiencies are (1)  the needs analysis does not provide enough information to support the conclusions and recommendations, (2)  the relationship between well construction and well water results should be evaluated, (3)  evaluate the recommendations based upon the new needs analysis information, (4)  a proof of publication must be included in the submission, (5)  a letter of consistency must be received from the Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Inventory and Pennsylvania Historic Act, (6)  septage haulers, and sludge or septage disposal sites should be identified, (7)  the Plan did not respond to the Berks County Planning Commission comments, (8)  the implementation of the selected alternative cannot have a disclaimer statement, (9)  if financing is not available for the Township to proceed with the selected alternative, the implementation schedule must then provide a secondary alternative which has no disclaimer, (10)  for PENNVEST Funding consideration, complete the attached requirements, and (11)  the Department will not accept less then 15% sampling of the wells in the Township.

   Responsible Office: Northwest Regional Office, Regional Water Management Program Manager, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481, Telephone (814) 332-6942.

   Location:  Connoquenessing Borough, Butler County, Connoquenessing Borough, P. O. Box 471, Connoquenessing, PA 16027.

   This approved project proposes to construct a new public sewerage system to provide adequate sewage disposal for the existing and future disposal needs of the Borough of Connoquenessing. It will consist of a sewer system, two pump stations and an extended aeration sewage treatment facility. The effluent will be discharged to an unnamed tributary of Connoquenessing Creek.

   The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

Under Act 2, 1995

Preamble 3


The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation 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.
