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.

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.

There is one liquid manure storage facility on the farm. Liquid dairy manure is stored in a circular concrete structure. Layer manure is handled in solid form and is stored below the animals in the layer house. A release or discharge to waters of the 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 proposed effluent limits for Outfall 001 for a design flow of 2.08 mgd are:
Average Average Instantaneous Parameter Monthly (mg/l) Weekly (mg/l) Maximum (mg/l) CBOD5 25 40 50 Total Suspended Solids 30 45 60 NH3-N (5-1 to 10-31) 9.0 18 (11-1 to 4-30) 16 32 Total Residual Chlorine 0.5 1.6 Total Phosphorus 2.0 4.0 Dissolved Oxygen Minimum of 5.0 at all times pH From 6.0 to 9.0 inclusive Fecal Coliform (5-1 to 9-30) 200/100 ml as a Geometric Average (10-1 to 4-30) 2,000/100 ml as a Geometric Average
Chesapeake Bay Requirements Concentration (mg/L) Mass (lbs) Monthly Average Monthly Annual Ammonia-N Report Report Report** Kjeldahl-N Report Report XXX Nitrate-Nitrite as N Report Report XXX Total Nitrogen Report Report Report Total Phosphorus Report Report Report Net Total Nitrogen XXX Report 38,565* Net Total Phosphorus XXX Report 5,065* * The permit contains conditions which authorize the permittee to apply nutrient reduction credits, to meet the Net Total Nitrogen and Net Total Phosphorus effluent limits, under the Department of Environmental Protection's (Department) Trading of Nutrient and Sediment Reduction Credits Policy and Guidelines (392-0900-001, December 30, 2006). The conditions include the requirement to report application of these credits in Supplemental Discharge Monitoring Reports (DRMs) submitted to the Department.
* Net Total Nitrogen and Net Total Phosphorus limits compliance date will begin on October 1, 2010. Since these reporting requirements are annual loads, reporting on compliance with the annual limitations will be required on the Supplemental DMR--Annual Nutrient Summary by November 28, 2011. The facility is required to monitor and report for Net Total Nitrogen and Net Total Phosphorus from the effective date of the permit until October 1, 2010.
** Total Annual Ammonia Load will be required to be reported on the Supplemental DMR--Annual Nutrient Summary by November 28, 2011.
