Stroudsburg, PA 18360Monroe Plan Description: The Department has approved the Official Act 537 Plan Upgrade/Regional Sewage Facilities Plan for Stroud Township, Stroudsburg Borough, Pocono Township, and Hamilton Township, Monroe County, (Plan Update), dated May 2009.
The selected alternative was Alternative 1—Regional 4.5 MGD Wastewater Facilities which consists of:
• Project 1—Collection, Conveyance, Pumping Stations, and Force Main Project, and
• Project 2—Upgrade and Expansion of the existing 2.5 MGD Stroudsburg Borough Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) to a Regional 4.5 MGD WWTP to be known as the Brodhead Creek Regional Authority (BCRA) WWTP.
The Plan Update is a continuation of the Pocono Township Regional Act 537 Special Study, Route 611 Corridor, that was approved by the Department on December 7, 2006. The Pocono Township/Hamilton Township collection and conveyance system will be constructed in accordance with the Special Study. The Special Study approval also included a 2.0 MGD WWTP and effluent line to the Brodhead Creek in Stroud Township. These facilities will not be constructed. The Plan Update was prepared so that planning approval could be obtained from the construction of an equalization tank and Pumping Station No. 5 near the site of the originally proposed 2.0 MGD WWTP, and the construction of a force main to the existing 2.5 MGD Stroudsburg Borough WWTP. The force main is about 7 miles long and will convey wastewater from Pocono Township through Hamilton Township, Stroud Township, and Stroudsburg Borough to the new regional 4.5 MGD WWTP. The Plan Update also approves the Collection and Conveyance System, including Gravity Sewers, Force Mains, and five Pumping Stations. Two of the Pumping Stations, No. 1 and No. 2, will be constructed as previously approved in the Special Study. Pumping Stations No. 3, No. 4, and No. 5 will be approved as presented in the Plan Update. Pumping Stations No. 3 and No. 4 will discharge to Pumping Station No. 5's Force Main.
The Plan Update also provides for the construction of a 4.5 MGD WWTP at the site of the existing 2.5 MGD Stroudsburg Borough WWTP. The existing WWTP will be upgraded and expanded to an enhanced nutrient removal Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) System with tertiary filtration and Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection. The WWTP will continue to discharge to McMichael's Creek, a tributary to the Brodhead Creek and the Delaware River. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.
