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.

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

   Application No. PA 0088714, CAFO, Wide Awake Farms Partnership, 411 Chestnut Street, Lebanon, PA 17042 and Pork Champ, LLC, 572 Waldo-Fulton Road, Waldo, OH 43356.

   Wide Awake Farms Partnership and Pork Champ, LLC have submitted an application to renew the existing Individual NPDES permit for an existing CAFO known as Wide Awake Farm, located in Monroe Township, Bedford County.

   The CAFO is situated near UNTs of West Branch Sideling Hill Creek, which are classified as EV waters. The CAFO includes three animal housing units designed to maintain an animal population of approximately 704 animal equivalent units consisting of 1,150 gestating sows, 192 sows with litters, three boars, 155 replacement gilts and 4,340 nursery pigs. Manure is stored in a high-density polyethylene-lined earthen impoundment with a capacity of approximately 2.9 million gallons. Manure is stored in an existing concrete structure at a second facility with a capacity of approximately 30,000 gallons. Manure produced at the operation is utilized on farm or exported to local farmers in accordance with an approved Nutrient Management Plan. 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 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 0020508, Sewage, McConnellsburg Sewerage Authority, P. O. Box 681, McConnellsburg, PA 17233. This facility is located in Ayr Township, Fulton County.

   Outfalls 002--011, 013, 016 and 017, which discharge to the receiving waters known as Sulphur Run and the Conemaugh River, serve as combined sewer overflows necessitated by stormwater entering the sewer system and exceeding the hydraulic capacity of the sewers and/or the treatment plant. These combined sewer overflows are permitted to discharge only for such reason. There are at this time no specific effluent limitations on the outfalls. Each discharge shall be monitored for cause, frequency, duration and quantity of flow. Outfalls 009, 011, 016 and 017 are proposed to be eliminated as part of the subject wastewater treatment plant expansion project.
