Re: Violations Of January 8, 2007 Consent Order And Agreement
Ban on Connections (EDUs)

Dear Supervisors and Board Members:

   As you are aware, on January 8, 2007, the Department, Washington Township and the Washington Township Municipal Authority (collectively ''Washington'') entered intoa Consent Order and Agreement (''CO&A''), to address, among other things, Washington's hydraulically overloaded sewerage facilities.

   Since the execution of the CO&A, the Authority has failed to comply with Paragraphs 3.b. and 3.c. of the CO&A. Specifically:

*  Paragraph 3.b. of the CO&A (Flow Metering Devices) requires, among other things, that the Authority install flow metering devices prior to the headworks of the sewage treatment plant within 60 days of the date of the CO&A (i.e. by March 9, 2007); and

*  Paragraph 3.c. of the CO&A (Package Plant) requires the Authority to submit an administratively complete Water Quality Management Permit application to the Department, within 60 days of the date of the CO&A (i.e. by March 9, 2007), to replace a portion of the existing sewage treatment plant.

   On March 13, March 16, and April 12, 2007, the Department spoke with the Chairman of the Authority, Rick Obenrader, concerning the continuing violations of Paragraphs 3.b. and 3.c. of the Washington Township Municipal Authority CO&A. On May 7, 2007, Obenrader informed the Department that the Authority's engineer, Bruce Curfman, would be submitting an administratively complete Water Quality Management Permit application to the Department by May 9, 2007. The Department received an application on June 1, 2007 but it was not administratively complete.

   In a letter, dated May 11, 2007, the Department informed Washington that the violations of Paragraphs 3.b. and 3.c. of the CO&A continued, and that the Authority was subject to civil penalty liability for these. In addition, the Department advised Washington that, Under Paragraph 10.g. of the CO&A, the Department may rescind and ban any allocation of new EDUs granted to the Authority for violations of the CO&A. A copy of the May 11, 2007 letter is enclosed.

   Notwithstanding the telephone calls and the May 11, 2007 letter, the violations of Paragraphs 3.b. and 3.c. of the CO&A continue to date. The flow metering devices have not yet been installed at the sewage treatment plant and the Department has not yet received an administratively complete Water Quality Management Permit application for the replacement of a portion of the existing sewage treatment plant. Therefore, in accordance with Paragraph 10.g. of the CO&A, the Department hereby rescinds the 5 EDUs granted to the Authority on January 8, 2007, and bans the allocation of any new EDUs to the Authority for connections to Washington's sewerage facilities. In accordance with Paragraph 10.g. of the CO&A, this recission and ban does not apply to any new EDU that has been lawfully issued a building permit by the Authority before the date of this letter.

   In addition, the Authority is subject to civil penalty liability for the 95 days of violations that it has accrued from March 9, 2007, through the date of this letter for failing to comply with the CO&A. Moreover, Under Paragraph 11.a. of the CO&A, the Department may pursue any remedy available for a violation of an order of the Department, including a Court action to enforce the CO&A.

   Please notify our office, in writing, when the Authority has complied with its obligations Paragraphs 3.b. and 3.c. of the CO&A. In the meantime, questions concerning this letter may be directed to Ms. Christina Nagy at (814) 332-6942.

Sincerely,   
Ricardo F. Gilson

Re: Building Permits

Dear Mr. Beichner:

   The enclosed Department Order has been issued to Washington Township and the Washington Township Municipal Authority (collectively ''Washington''). The Order imposes a ban on all connections to Washington's sewerage facilities effective immediately upon receipt of the Order.

   Under 25 Pa. Code § 94.33, no building permit, which may result in a connection to the overloaded sewerage facilities or increase the load to those sewerage facilities, shall be issued by Washington Township after the ban is effective.

Sincerely,   
Ricardo F. Gilson
