Public Hearing on an Individual CAFO NPDES Permit
Perry Township, Berks County

   Southcentral Regional Office:  Regional Water Management Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200, (717) 705-4707.

   PA0246875, Quail Ridge Farm, LLC (Quail Ridge Farm), 410 E. Lincoln Avenue, Myerstown, PA 17067. Quail Ridge Farm, LLC has submitted an application for an NPDES permit for a proposed CAFO known as Quail Ridge Farm, 1211 Moslem Springs Road, Perry Township, Berks County. The CAFO will be situated near an unnamed tributary of Maiden Creek, which is classified as a WWF. The CAFO will be designed to maintain an animal population of 1,379.8 AEUs consisting of 2,800 sows, 336 sows with litter, 688 gilt finishers and 4 boars.

   Two new barns are proposed--a farrowing barn and a gestation barn. Both barns will have in-ground concrete manure storage facilities. Manure collected in the farrowing barn manure storage facility will flow into the gestation barn manure storage facility. The total storage capacity of the gestation barn manure storage facility will be 3.05 million gallons. The expected annual manure production is approximately 3 million gallons. Approximately 35% of the manure generated will be applied onsite from subsurface injection on approximately 167 acres and the remainder will be exported offsite to two farms in Perry Township and one farm in Richmond Township, Berks County. A release or discharge to waters of this Commonwealth under normal operating conditions is not expected. Normal operating conditions are defined as conditions below a 25-year, 24-hour storm event.

   The Department has scheduled a public hearing to receive testimony and comments on the proposed CAFO NPDES permit. The hearing will be held on April 8, 2003, at 6:30 p.m. at the Virginville Grange, 456 Main Street, Virginville, PA 19564.

   Persons intending to testify at the hearing should register by April 1, 2003, by calling Karen Sitler at (717) 705-4904. If no person registers to present oral comments by this deadline, the hearing will not be held. Persons wishing to submit testimony who cannot attend the hearing may do so in writing by April 8, 2003. Written comments should be sent to Sean Furjanic, Water Management Program, Permits Section, Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200, sefurjanic@state.pa.us.

   Testimony should be to the point. Individuals will have between 5 and 10 minutes for a presentation, depending on the number of speakers. To ensure that all speakers have a fair and equal opportunity to present their testimony, relinquishing of time will be prohibited. Further details relating to the procedures to be followed at the hearing will be outlined at the beginning of the proceedings.

   The permit application is on file at the Southcentral Regional Office. An appointment to review the file may be scheduled by calling Jacquelyn Tribby at (717) 705-4729 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

   Comments received will be considered in formulating the Department's final determination regarding the application. Comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the basis of the comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.

   Following the 30-day comment period, the Water Management Program Manager will make a final determination regarding the proposed permit. Notice of this determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at which time the determination may be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.

   The EPA permit review waiver provision under 40 CFR 123.24(e) does not apply to this NPDES permit.
