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 Environmental Protection Agency (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.

Lake Ontelaunee TMDL Requirements Mass (lbs) Annual Total Phosphorus 426 Total Suspended Solids 12,785 The Lake Ontelaunee TMDL, originally approved by United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in August 2004, has been revised to include a point source discharge that received planning approval in June 2001 in the Maxatawny Township Phase I Act 537 Plan, and again on September 18, 2003, in the Phase II Act 537 Plan. The TMDL for the Lake Ontelaunee Watershed failed to take into account this approved discharge. The proposed revisions reallocate 0.193 metric tpy of Phosphorus from the LA to the WLA and 5.8 metric tpy of sediment from the LA to the WLA to account for the discharge.
The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). To request a copy of the proposed TMDL amendment, contact Bill Brown, Chief, TMDL Development Section, Watershed Protection Division, Department of Environmental Protection, P. O. Box 8555, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8555, (717) 783-2951 or Willbrown@state.pa.us.
The TMDLs can be accessed through the Department web site (www.dep.state.pa.us) by clicking on the Water Topics Link, then the TMDL link. Note that attachments and appendices must be requested through paper mail. Persons with a disability may use the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users) and request that the call be relayed. Any person wishing to attend the meeting should contact Bill Brown at the previous address.
Written and e-mail comments will be accepted at the previous addresses and must be received by November 24, 2008. Comments will not be accepted by facsimile or voice mail. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to EPA for approval.
