   Sections I--VI contain actions related to industrial, animal or sewage wastes discharges, discharges to groundwater and discharges associated with municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4), stormwater associated with construction activities and concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Section VII contains notices for parties who have submitted NOIs for coverage under general NPDES permits. The approval for coverage under general NPDES permits is subject to applicable effluent limitations, monitoring, reporting requirements and other conditions set forth in each general permit. The approval of coverage for land application of sewage sludge or residential septage under applicable general permit is subject to pollutant limitations, pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements, operational standards, general requirements, management practices and other conditions set forth in the respective permit. Permits and related documents, effluent limitations, permitting requirements and other information are on file and may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the contact office noted before the action.

   Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O.

   Description of Proposed Activity: Issuance of a permit to cover discharges from stormwater detention basins associated with the I-99 construction project, some of which are used for treatment of water affected by contact with pyritic materials.

   The receiving streams are as follows:

      Stream Name State Water Plan Watershed       Classification
Bald Eagle Creek 9C TSF
Buffalo Run 9C HQ-CWF
Waddle Creek 9C HQ-CWF

   The nearest existing downstream public water supply intake is the Pennsylvania-American Water Company at Milton, PA, located 132 river miles below the points of discharge on the West Branch Susquehanna River.

   With this final permit action, the Department is also approving a Social or Economic Justification (SEJ), under 25 Pa. Code § 93.4c(b)(1)(iii), for interim discharges, at technology based treatment levels, from Outfalls 003--008 to Buffalo Run and Outfall 009 to Waddle Creek. The SEJ approval is valid only for an interim period ending 12/31/07, at which time the discharge of pollutants from these Outfalls must either meet nondegrading effluent quality, or be abated by the removal of polluting pyritic materials from the discharge source areas.

   The proposed interim effluent limits, effective until December 31, 2007, for all Outfalls 001--009, which will discharge to Bald Eagle Creek, Buffalo Run, and Waddle Creek are as follows:
