Revised Application and Public Hearing for NPDES Permit No. PAS10S119; Proposed Alpine Rose Resorts, Eldred Township, Monroe County NPDES Permit No. PAS10S119. On March 28, 2005, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) issued the permit to Alpine Rose Resorts, Inc. (Alpine Rose) for the discharge of stormwater from construction activities at its proposed project site in Eldred Township, Monroe County. A public hearing on the original permit application was held on January 23, 2003. On or about April 22, 2005, Blue Mountain Preservation Association, Inc. (BMPA) filed an appeal with the Environmental Hearing Board (EHB) challenging the Department's issuance of NPDES Permit No. PAS10S119, for failure to comply with the antidegradation requirements found in 25 Pa. Code § 93.4c (relating to drainage list C). On September 7, 2006, after hearing, the EHB issued an Adjudication and Order sustaining BMPA's appeal, vacating the permit and remanding the matter to Department for consideration in accordance with the Adjudication. On April 28, 2007, the Department published notice of receipt of the revised Alpine Rose application documentation and plans submitted to the Department in accordance with the EHB's September 7, 2006 Order.
