Hostetter Management has submitted an application for an Individual NPDES permit for an expanding CAFO known as Willow Hill Breeding Farm in Metal Township, Franklin County.

   The CAFO is situated near West Branch Conococheague Creek in Watershed 13-C (WWF). The CAFO is designed to maintain an animal population of approximately 1,448.5 AEUs consisting of 2,464 gestating sows, 336 sows with litter, 3,878 nursery pigs, 920 gilt growers, 160 replacement gilts and 4 boars. The animals will be housed in standard swine barns. Manure will be stored under the barn and in two HDPE-lined lagoons. The total capacity of the manure storage facilities will be 1.9 million gallons. Prior to operation of the 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.
