SPECIAL NOTICES

Multiple Permits Required for a New Water Supply in Chester County

Permit Applications Submitted to the Department by the Philadelphia Suburban Water Company to Construct and Operate a New Water Supply in Wallace Township, Chester County

   Philadelphia Suburban Water Company, 762 W. Lancaster Avenue, Bryn Mawr, PA 19010-3489 has submitted multiple permit applications to the Department. These applications will be the subject of a public hearing to be held at 7 p.m. on June 13, 2002, at the North Brandywine Middle School, 256 Reeceville Rd., Coatesville, PA 19320.

   On April 18, 2002, the Department issued a water allocation permit to Philadelphia Suburban Water Company (PSW) that will allow the company to withdraw water from the East Brandywine Creek. The Delaware River Basin Commission also approved this water withdrawal on April 3, 2002.

   Comments on the issued water allocation permit will not be taken at the June 13, 2002, hearing.

   The withdrawal was requested by PSW as part of a proposed project that would use water from the East Brandywine Creek to serve customers in East and West Brandywine Townships. PSW's project would construct a conventional treatment plant and transmission lines. The project includes the proposed use of Cornog Quarry as a raw water reservoir.

   To construct and operate this proposed water supply system, the following permits will be required by PSW and are the subjects of the hearing:

   1598513. Public Drinking Water. This permit authorizes construction of a conventional 1.0 million gallon per day water treatment plant to be known as the Cornog Water Treatment Plant located in Wallace Township, Chester County to serve the drinking water needs of East Brandywine and West Brandywine Townships. This permit is subject to the following special condition:

   The facilities authorized by this permit shall be constructed and operated within the Townships of Wallace, East Brandywine and West Brandywine in a manner consistent with franchise service areas authorized by and agreements filed with the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (Commission) and with municipal zoning ordinances and zoning approvals concerning new or expanded development.

   E15-589. Water Obstruction. This permit would allow PSW to construct and maintain an approximately 26-foot wide raw water intake on the East Branch Brandywine Creek (HQ-TSF-MF) for transferring water from the East Branch Brandywine Creek to the Cornog Quarry and a 48-inch intake tunnel to pump water from the quarry to the water treatment plant for treatment before distributing to customers of PSW. The site is located about 1,500 feet east of the intersection of Marshall and Creek Roads (Downingtown USGS Quadrangle N:  13.70 inches; W:  17.50 inches) in Wallace Township, Chester County. This permit is subject to the following special conditions:  

   A.  Since this stream is a TSF stream, no work shall be done in the stream channel between March 1 and June 15.

   B.  This permit also authorizes the construction and maintenance of a surface swale and 16-inch outfall structure to direct water into Cornog Quarry, which must be done in accordance with the conditions of the Department's General Permit BDWM-GP-4. No additional notification to the Southeast Region, Field Operations, Water Management Program, Soils and Waterways Section is necessary.

   C.  The facilities authorized by this permit shall be constructed and operated within the Townships of Wallace, East Brandywine and West Brandywine in a manner consistent with the franchise service areas authorized by and agreements filed with the Commission and with municipal zoning ordinances and zoning approvals concerning new or expanded development.

   PAS10G338. NPDES Stormwater. PSW is seeking permission to discharge stormwater from a construction activity located in Wallace Township, Chester County, to East Branch Brandywine Creek. This permit is subject to the following special condition:  

   The facilities authorized by this permit shall be constructed and operated within the Townships of Wallace, East Brandywine and West Brandywine in a manner consistent with the franchise service areas authorized by and agreements filed with the Commission and with municipal zoning ordinances and zoning approvals concerning new or expanded development.

   1599201. Water Quality Industrial Waste Part II. On March 19, 1999, PSW submitted an application for construction and operation of two proposed sludge lagoons to handle residual materials resulting from the water treatment plant and to discharge lagoon supernatant to the Cornog Quarry. A flow of 38,440 gallons per day of wastewater will be directed from the water treatment plant to the sludge lagoons. This permit is subject to the following special conditions:  

   A.  The water level, within the impoundments, shall be controlled so that a freeboard of at least 24 inches is maintained at all times.

   B.  If there is a change in ownership of this facility or in permittee name, an application for transfer of permit must be submitted to the Department.

   C.  Collected screenings, slurries, sludges and other solids shall be handled and disposed of in compliance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 262--264, 287--289, 291 and 299 and applicable Federal regulations, the Federal Clean Water Act, RCRA and their amendments.

   D.  Discharge limitations and monitoring requirements. The effluent from the sludge lagoons to the Cornog Quarry shall be sampled and shall be limited at all times as follows:
