An application to rerate the Bayside State Prison sewage treatment plant (STP) from 0.55 million gallons per day (mgd) to 0.61 mgd and continue to provide advanced secondary treatment. The STP serves only the correctional facilities and will continue to discharge through the existing outfall to Riggins Ditch, a tributary of Delaware Bay. The project is located just west of Delsea Drive (State Route 47) in Maurice River Township, Cumberland County, NJ.

   7.  S.W.E.C, LLC D-2001-28. An application to provide a nonutility electric power generator with an average of 8.5 mgd of water diverted via the USX Fairless Works intake on the Delaware River. USX's current surface water allocation is sufficient for supply of the project water demand. The proposed natural gas-fired combustion turbines and steam turbine generators are designed to produce 1,190 megawatts (MW) of electric power for the Pennsylvania-Jersey-Maryland (PJM) grid. The project will be constructed on a 45 acre site within the USX Industrial Park off Bordentown Road in Falls Township, Bucks County, PA. Following average consumptive losses of 6.15 mgd to evaporation and drift, approximately 2.35 mgd of wastewater will be routed to the USX wastewater treatment facility prior to discharge to the Delaware River in Commission Water Quality Zone 2.

The project will continue to serve the residents of Delhi Village and will be rerated after the upgrade to receive and process the pretreated waste from two small industries, which will discontinue their own existing discharge. The STP effluent will continue to be discharged via the existing outfall to the West Branch Delaware River, about 22 river miles upstream from the Cannonsville Reservoir in Commission Water Quality Zone W1.

   In addition to the public hearing, the Commission will address the following at its 1 p.m. business meeting: minutes of the June 6, 2001, business meeting; announcements; report on hydrologic conditions; reports by the Executive Director and Acting General Counsel; public dialogue; and resolutions 1) authorizing the continuedprocurement of services for the Commission's Estuary Model Peer Review Team; 2) authorizing the Executive Director to issue an RFP for sample collection and analysis to support the development of TMDLs for PCBs, chlorinated pesticides and metals in the Delaware Estuary; 3) approving an investment policy for the Commission; and 4) authorizing the Executive Director to contract with two asset management firms.
