For applications for new NPDES permits and renewal applications with major changes listed in Section II, as well as applications for MS4 individual permits and individual stormwater construction permits in Sections IV and VI, the Department, based upon preliminary reviews, has made a tentative determination of proposed effluent limitations and other terms and conditions for the permit applications. 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 proposed NPDES permit actions under the waiver provision at 40 CFR 123.24(d).
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES application are invited to submit a statement to the contact office noted before the application, within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Persons wishing to comment on a WQM permit application are invited to submit a statement to the office noted before the application within 15 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within the respective comment periods will be considered in the final determinations regarding the applications. 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.

PA0088595, Amendment No. 1, CAFO, Hostetter Management Company (Wide Awake Farm), P. O. Box 526, Ephrata, PA 17522. Joe Gulick has submitted a permit amendment application for an individual NPDES permit for an expanding CAFO known as Wide Awake Farm, 488 Jay Road, Monroe Township, Bedford County.
The CAFO is situated near West Branch Sideling Hill Creek in Watershed 13-B (EV). The CAFO will be designed to maintain an animal population of approximately 1,360.6 AEUs consisting of 336 sows with litter, 2,800 gestating sows, 15 boars, 320 nursery pigs and 450 finishing pigs. The animals will be housed in two existing animal husbandry buildings and two proposed animal husbandry buildings and also an existing isolation building. Manure will be collected beneath the slatted floors of the animal husbandry buildings and conveyed by gravity to the one existing and one proposed HDPE-lined manure storage facilities. In addition, the manure from the isolation building is stored beneath the building in a concrete storage pit. The capacity of the manure storage facilities is as follows: existing HDPE-lined lagoon (3.29 million gallons), existing isolation building pit (0.0308 gallon) and proposed HDPE-lined lagoon (2.3 million gallons). A Water Quality Management Part II application was submitted to the Department for the proposed HDPE-lined lagoon. Prior to operation of the proposed manure storage facilities, the design engineer will be required to submit certification that the facilities were constructed in accordance with appropriate Pennsylvania Technical Guide Standards. 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 conducted administrative and technical reviews of the application. Based on the preliminary review and application of lawful standards and regulations, the Department has made a tentative determination to issue an NPDES permit for the operation subject to the terms and conditions and monitoring and reporting requirements specified in the permit.
The permit application and draft permit are on file at the Southcentral Regional Office of the Department. Individuals may make an appointment to review the files by calling the File Review Coordinator at (717) 705-4732.
Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permit are invited to submit written comments to the previous address within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day period 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 waiver provision under 40 CFR 123.24(e) does not apply to this NPDES permit.

For the purpose of evaluating effluent requirements for TDS, NO2-NO3, fluoride, phenolics, sulfate and chloride, the existing/proposed downstream potable water supply (stream and public water supplier) considered during the evaluation is the Emlenton Water Company and the Allegheny River at River Mile 90, approximately 51 miles below point of discharge.
The receiving stream, unnamed tributary to Oil Creek, is classified for CWF, aquatic life, water supply and recreation.
The proposed effluent limits for Outfall 001 are based on a design flow of 0.035 MGD.
