   Description of Proposed Activity: A Part I NPDES Permit for a new discharge.

   The receiving stream, Unnamed tributary to Glade Run, is in watershed 20-C and classified for: cold water fishes, water supply and recreation. For the purpose of evaluating effluent requirements for TDS, NO2-NO3, fluoride and phenolics, the existing/proposed downstream potable water supply (stream and PWS) considered during the evaluation is the Salvation Army Camp Allegheny on Slippery Rock Creek located at approximately 33 miles below point of discharge.

   The proposed effluent limits for Outfall 001 based on a design flow of 0.0125.
