Description of Proposed Activity: Renewal of an existing discharge of treated sewage.
For the purpose of evaluating effluent requirements for TDS, NO2-NO3, fluoride, phenolics, sulfate and chloride, the existing/proposed downstream potable water supply, considered during the evaluation is the Beaver Falls Municipal Authority--Eastvale Plant intake is located on the Beaver River and is approximately 50 miles below the point of discharge.
The receiving streams, Connoquenessing Creek, Outfall 001 and Butchers Run, Outfalls 005, 011--014 and 018 are in watershed 20-C and classified for WWF, aquatic life, water supply and recreation.
The proposed effluent limits for Outfall 001 are based on a design flow of 10.0 mgd.
