NATIONAL POLLUTION DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) PERMITS

NPDES APPLICATIONS

PART I PERMITS

   Under the Federal Clean Water Act and The Clean Streams Law, the following parties have applied for an NPDES permit or to renew their current permit to discharge controlled wastewaters into the waters of this Commonwealth or to conduct other activities required by the NPDES permit. For renewal applications listed in Section I, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a tentative determination to reissue these permits for 5 years subject to effluent limitations and monitoring and reporting requirements in their current permits, with appropriate and necessary updated requirements to reflect new and changed regulations and other requirements. For all new permit applications, renewal application with major changes or applications for permits not waived by EPA, the Department, based upon preliminary reviews, also made a tentative determination of proposed effluent limitations and other terms and conditions for the permit applications listed in Section II. These determinations are published as proposed actions for comments prior to taking final actions.

   Unless indicated otherwise, the EPA Region III Administrator has waived the right to review or object to this proposed permit action under the waiver provision 40 CFR 123.24(d).

   Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permit are invited to submit a statement, to the office noted before the application within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day comment period will be considered in the formulation of the final determinations regarding this application. The comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based. A public hearing may be held if the responsible office considers the public response significant. Following the comment period, the Department's Water Management Program Manager will make a final determination regarding these applications. Notice of this final determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at which time this determination may be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.

   The renewal application, including proposed effluent limitations and special conditions, is available on file. For new permit applications, information submitted with the applications is available on file. The information may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the office indicated before the application.

   Persons with a disability, who require an auxiliary aid, service, including TDD users or other accommodations to seek additional information, should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

   PA0246964, CAFO, Kenneth R. Martin, 1397 Robert Fulton Highway, Quarryville, PA 17566. This proposed facility is located in East Drumore Township, Lancaster County.

   Description of Proposed Activity: The Ken Martin Farm is an existing dairy, swine and poultry operation with a total AEUs of 1,046.45. An estimated quantity of total annual manure production is 18,670 tons. The operation consists of 105 dairy cows, 6,600 swine and 86,000 pullets. There are four manure storages located on this operation. The first swine barn was built in 1994 and contains an under-house manure storage system with a capacity of 629,920 gallons of manure. The second swine barn was built in 1998 and contains an under-house manure storage system with a capacity of 755,738 gallons of manure. Neither structure has a leak detection system around the barn. The earthen dairy lagoon has the storage capacity of 1 million gallons with 1.12 million gallons of dairy manure produced on the farm per year. There is no leak detection system around the perimeter of the manure storage. The poultry barn houses 437 tons of manure per year. All of the 1.12 million gallons of dairy liquid generated on the farm is used on the farm. Of the 3,256,000 gallons of swine manure generated on the farm, 440,000 gallons are used on the farm with 2,816,000 gallons exported. Of the 437 tons of pullet manure generated on the farm, all of the manure is used on the farm.

   The receiving stream, West Branch Octoraro, is in the State Water Plan watershed 7-K and is classified for HQ-CWF.

   The proposed effluent limits for the operation/activity include: Except for the chronic or catastrophic rainfall events defined as over the 25 year/24 hour rain storms, the CAFO general permit is a nondischarge NPDES permit. Where applicable, compliance with 40 CFR Federal effluent limitation guidelines is required. The general permit requires no other numeric effluent limitations and compliance with Pennsylvania Nutrient Management Act and The Clean Stream Law constitutes compliance with the State narrative water quality standards.

   PAG123565, CAFO, David Rosenberry, Gretna View Farms CAFO, 3709 North Colebrook Road, Manheim, PA 17545. This proposed facility is located in Mount Joy Township, Lancaster County.

   Description of Proposed Activity: The Gretna View Farms is an existing poultry and steer operation with a total AEUs of 792.4. An estimated quantity of total annual manure production is 6,817 tons. The operation consists of 130,000 layer chickens and 400 steers. The steers are confined 100% of the time in two different barns. All steer manure is handled as a liquid. The slotted floor pit below steer barn one is 112 ft. x 50 ft. x 4 ft. with a useable storage of 146,000 gallons assuming 6 inches of freeboard. The round concrete manure storage associated with steer barn two is 60 ft. x 12 ft. with a useable storage of 232,000 gallons assuming 1 foot of freeboard. This storage also handles the lot runoff of the 100 ft. x 50 ft. concrete barnyard. The poultry manure is handled as a solid stored below the high-rise layer house. All of the 1,251,110 gallons of the steer manure generated on the farm is used on the farm. The poultry operation generates 2,163 tons of manure with all of the manure being exported from the farm.

   The receiving stream, Little Chickies Creek, is in the State Water Plan watershed 7-G and is classified for TSF.

   The proposed effluent limits for the operation/activity include: Except for the chronic or catastrophic rainfall events defined as over the 25 year/24 hour rain storms, the CAFO general permit is a nondischarge NPDES permit. Where applicable, compliance with 40 CFR Federal effluent limitation guidelines is required. The general permit requires no other numeric effluent limitations and compliance with Pennsylvania Nutrient Management Act and the Clean Stream Law constitutes compliance with the State narrative water quality standards.
