Settlement of NPDES Permit Appeal Pursuant to 25 Pa. Code § 92.61(g)
Borough of Etna v. Department of Environmental Protection; EHB Docket No. 2006-102-R This matter involved the appeal of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit No. PAG 066119 (NPDES General Permit) issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to the Borough of Etna (Etna) to operate a combined sewer system and to discharge, under certain conditions, a combination of sewage and stormwater runoff from nine combined sewer overflows (CSOs) into Pine Creek, Little Pine Creek and the Allegheny River.
The Department's final action to resolve this NPDES General Permit appeal was a settlement as reflected by an October 13, 2006, Consent Order and Agreement (Agreement) entered into by the Department and Etna. The major provisions of the settlement require Etna to apply to the Department for an individual NPDES Permit and the Department to issue a draft individual NPDES Permit with a tailored condition that recognizes that one of the nine CSOs within Etna, Outfall A-68, is operated by the Allegheny County Sanitary Authority (Alcosan). The individual NPDES Permit will recognize that Etna conveys combined sewage flows to Outfall A-68 and that Etna has responsibilities to implement nine minimum controls and to participate in area-wide CSO control activities. In addition, Etna agreed to withdraw its appeal before the Environmental Hearing Board.
Copies of the full Agreement are in the possession of Bruce M. Herschlag, Assistant Counsel, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745, (412) 442-4262 and David G.
