On September 6, 2005, the Department issued NPDES Permit No. PAI023505002 to Hemingway Development Limited Partnership for the discharge of stormwater from construction activities at its proposed project site in Moosic Borough, Lackawanna County. A public hearing on the original permit application was held on August 11, 2005. Subsequent to the public hearing and prior to permit issuance, the applicant revised its permit application so that the project discharges stormwater to Stafford-Meadow Brook and Spring Brook rather than only Stafford-Meadow Brook as originally noticed. On September 21, 2005, PRIZM Asset Management Company (PRIZM), Preit Services, LCC (PREIT) and Diann Van Louvender filed an appeal with the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) challenging the Department's issuance of NPDES Permit No. PAI023505002. On September 27, 2005, PRIZM, PREIT and Diann Van Louvender filed a Petition for Supersedeas asking the Board to supersede NPDES Permit No. PAI023505002 until a time as the underlying appeal is finally decided. On October 24, 2005, after hearing, the Board issued an Opinion and Order stating that the Petition for Supersedeas is granted in part and denied in part. The Board's order required the Department to renotice the permit application as revised.
The Department shall consider all comments submitted at the public hearing in deciding whether it wishes to suspend or revoke the Permit, to require Hemingway to provide additional information or to take no action with respect to the Permit. The permit remains in effect during the time that the Department renotices the revised application, accepts comments and considers them.
The public hearing will be conducted on Tuesday, December 20, 2005, at 7 p.m. in the Moosic Borough Municipal Building, 715 Main Street, Moosic, PA 18507 by the Department of Environmental Protection, Watershed Management Program, Permitting and Technical Services Section, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, (570) 826-2511. The NPDES permit proposes the discharge of stormwater from construction activities to Stafford-Meadow Brook and Spring Brook.
