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.

Application No. PA 0248428, Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO), Mark Leinbach, 105 Hoover Lane, Loysville, PA 17047.
Mark Leinbach has submitted an NPDES permit renewal application for the Mark Leinbach Farm located in Tyrone Township, Perry County. The CAFO is situated near a UNT of Muddy Run (Watershed 7-A), which is classified as a WWF. The CAFO has a target animal population of approximately 772 animal equivalent units consisting of 5,800 finishing swine. Manure is stored in shallow pits below each of three barns and in an HDPE-lined manure storage impoundment. 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 of Environmental Protection (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. Persons may make an appointment to review the files by calling the file review coordinator at (717) 705-4732.
Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permit are invited to submit written comments to the previous address within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day period will be considered in formulating the Department's final determination regarding the application. Comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the basis of the comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
Following the 30-day comment period, the Watershed Management Program Manager will make a final determination regarding the proposed permit. Notice of this determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at which time the determination may be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.
The Environmental Protection Agency permit waiver provision under 40 CFR 123.24(e) does not apply to this NPDES permit.

The receiving stream is Susquehanna River and is in the State Water Plan Watershed 5E and classified for WWF. The nearest downstream public water supply intake for Merck & Company is located on Susquehanna River is 2 miles below the point of discharge.
The proposed effluent limits for Outfall 002 based on a design flow of 0.32 mgd.

Box J, Claysville, PA 15323. This application is for renewal of an NPDES permit to discharge treated sewage from the Enlow Fork Mine 3 North No. 2 Portal Bathhouse STP in East Finley Township, Washington County.
The following effluent limitations are proposed for discharge to the receiving waters, known as Rocky Run, which are classified as a TSF with existing and/or potential uses for aquatic life, water supply and recreation. The first downstream potable water supply intake from this facility is in West Virginia.

Description of Proposed Activity: an existing discharge of treated industrial waste, noncontact cooling water and stormwater.
For the purpose of evaluating effluent requirements for TDS, NO2-NO3, fluoride, phenolics, sulfate and chloride, the existing/proposed downstream potable water supply (stream and Public Water Supplier) considered during the evaluation is the Shenango River and PA American Water Company intake located at New Castle, approximately 16 miles below point of discharge.
The receiving stream, Shenango River, is in Watershed 20-A and classified for WWF, aquatic life, water supply and recreation. This amendment removes the pH limits at both Suboutfalls 104 and 504. Compliance with the pH limits will be monitored at the main Outfall 004.
The EPA waiver is not in effect.

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 located on the Beaver River and is approximately 34 miles below point of discharge.
The receiving stream is the Breakneck Creek and is 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 3.0 mgd.
