APPLICATIONS FOR NATIONAL POLLUTION DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) PERMITS AND WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT (WQM) PERMITS This notice provides information about persons who have applied for a new, amended or renewed NPDES or WQM permit, a permit waiver for certain stormwater discharges or submitted a Notice of Intent (NOI) for coverage under a general permit. The applications concern, but are not limited to, discharges related to industrial, animal or sewage waste, discharges to groundwater, discharges associated with municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4), stormwater associated with construction activities or concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92 and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act.
Location Permit Authority Application Type or Category Section I NPDES Renewals Section II NPDES New or amendment Section III WQM Industrial, sewage or animal waste; discharge into groundwater Section IV NPDES MS4 individual permit Section V NPDES MS4 permit waiver Section VI NPDES Individual permit stormwater construction Section VII NPDES NOI for coverage under NPDES general permits For NPDES renewal applications 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 applications for new NPDES permits and renewal applications with major changes 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 in 40 CFR 123.24(d).
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES application are invited to submit a statement to the regional office noted before an 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 regional 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.
The Department will also accept requests for a public hearing on applications. A public hearing may be held if the responsible office considers the public response significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. The Department will postpone its final determination until after a public hearing is held.
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.

WQM Permit No. 1504201, Industrial Waste, Rick's Mushroom Service, P. O. Box 797, Avondale, PA 19311. This existing facility is located in New Garden Township, Chester County.
Description of Proposed Draft Permit: This draft Water Quality Management Part II Permit is for the authorization to operate an existing storage and disposal facility for spent mushroom substrate stormwater runoff. The permit authorizes the operation of a lagoon storage system and 4 acres of spray irrigation fields for disposal. The permit will authorize a maximum application of 500,000 gallons per acre for a total of 2 million gallons per year.
The proposed effluent limits for the spray system are as follows:
Parameter Limitation Sampling Sample Frequency Type Flow (mgy)^ 2.0 Continuous Measured BOD5 Monitor and Report Quarterly Grab TSS Monitor and Report Quarterly Grab * Total Nitrogen (mg/l) Monitor and Report Quarterly Grab pH Monitor and Report Quarterly Grab Calcium Monitor and Report Yearly Grab Sodium Monitor and Report Yearly Grab Magnesium Monitor and Report Yearly Grab ^mgy = million gallons per year
*Total Nitrogen = Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen + Nitrite (NO2) Nitrogen + Nitrate (NO3) Nitrogen.
Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen = NH3 + Organic NitrogenIn addition to the effluent limits, the permit contains the following major special conditions:
1. Discharge Limitations and Monitoring Requirements.
2. Spray Irrigation Rates.
3. Spray Field Requirements.
4. Groundwater Monitoring.
5. Reporting Requirements.
6. Additional Testing.
7. Recording of Results.

Description of Proposed Activity: This is a second notice for an application that requests approval of a renewal NPDES permit. Revisions are included for a proposed increase in flow from 0.05 to 0.072 mgd for outfall 001, that discharges treated process wastewater from mushroom washing, blanching and cleanup. Outfall 002 continues the existing discharge flow of 0.09 mgd of cooling water from can cooling.
Waste Load Allocations (WLA) for CBOD5, ammonia, phosphorus, dissolved oxygen and total nitrogen for these discharges were included by the Environmental Protection Ageny (EPA) in the Christina River Basin Low-Flow TMDL in 2001-2002. In response to the Department of Environmental Protection's recent request, the EPA had the TMDL water quality model rerun with a flow of 0.072 mgd for outfall 001 and the existing permit limit of 10 mg/l CBOD5 for outfall 002, in place of an assumed value of 2 mg/l. The results of the model rerun revised the TMDL WLAs for Sunny Dell Foods and indicated that water quality criteria will be protected. The revised draft permit limits are consistent with the TMDL revisions.
The receiving stream, West Branch Red Clay Creek, is in the State Water Plan watershed 3I and is classified for TSF, aquatic life, water supply and recreation. No downstream public water supply intakes are in this Commonwealth. The State line is 3 miles downstream and a public water supply intake is located approximately 7 miles downstream from the State line in Delaware (Stanton Plant Delaware Waterworks).
