   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 Services at (800) 654-5984.

   Southcentral Region: Water Management Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, (717) 705-4707.

   Application No. PA 0247022, CAFO, David Sweigart, III, 189 Ridge View Road South, Elizabethtown, PA 17022. David Sweigart, III has submitted an application to renew the existing individual NPDES permit for an existing CAFO known as the Ridge View Farm, located in Mount Joy Township, Lancaster County.

   The CAFO is situated near a UNT to Conoy Creek, which is classified as a TSF. The CAFO includes two finishing swine barns and a dairy facility designed to maintain an animal population of approximately 981 animal equivalent units consisting of 6,200 finishing swine, 128 mature dairy cows, 50 dairy heifers and 10 dairy calves. Manure is stored in concrete and steel manure storage structures with a total capacity of approximately 2.47 million gallons. Manure produced at the operation is applied onsite or exported to local farmers in accordance with an approved Nutrient Management Plan. A release or discharge to waters of this 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 reissue the NPDES permit for the operation subject to the terms and conditions and monitoring and reporting requirements specified in the permit. The permit application and draft permit are on file at the Southcentral Regional Office of the Department.

   Persons may make an appointment to review the Department's files by calling the file review coordinator at (717) 705-4732.

   Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permit are invited to submit written comments to the previous address within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day period will be considered in formulating the Department's final determination regarding the application. Following the 30-day comment period, the Watershed Management Program Manager will make a final determination regarding the proposed permit. Notice of this determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at which time the determination may be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.

   The Environmental Protection Agency permit waiver provision under 40 CFR 123.24(e) does not apply to this NPDES permit.

   Application No. PA 0260151, Sewage, Maxatawny Township Municipal Authority, 127 Quarry Road, Kutztown, PA 19530. This facility is located in Maxatawny Township, Berks County.

   Description of activity: The application is for an NPDES permit for a new discharge of treated sewage.

   The receiving stream, Sacony Creek, is in Watershed 3-B, and classified for TSF, water supply, recreation and fish consumption. The nearest downstream public water supply intake for Reading Area Water Authority is located on Maiden Creek, approximately 14 miles downstream. The discharge is not expected to affect the water supply.

   The proposed effluent limits for Outfall 001 for a design flow of 0.14 mgd are:

Average Average Instantaneous

   The Lake Ontelaunee TMDL, originally approved by U.S. 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, Willbrown@state.pa.us.

   The TMDLs can be accessed through the Department's 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 by calling (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 email 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.

   Persons may make an appointment to review the Department's files by calling the file review coordinator at (717) 705-4732.

   The EPA waiver is not in effect.
