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.

1. COMPLIANCE SCHEDULES
The permittee shall achieve compliance with the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements established in Part A.1.b. of this permit and the Annual Maintenance Report form, or terminate this discharge, in accordance with the following schedule:
Effluent Limits/Monitoring Requirements Established On: Date Effective
_____________________________________
Page 2 ImmediatelyThe permittee shall achieve compliance with all other terms and conditions of this permit, and the associated Annual Maintenance Report form, upon the effective date of the permit (unless otherwise specified).
2. ANNUAL MAINTENANCE REPORT FORMS
Properly completed and signed Annual Maintenance Reports (AMRs), in lieu of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) and Supplemental DMR as described in Part A, III, B of this permit, shall be received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Departemnt) on June 30 of each year at the following address: Department of Environmental Protection, Water Management Program, Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701.
3. PRIOR APPROVALS
The approval herein given is specifically made contingent upon the permittee acquiring all necessary property rights by easement or otherwise, providing for the satisfactory construction, operation, maintenance and replacement of all sewers or sewerage structures associated with the herein approved discharge in, along, or across private property, with full rights of ingress, egress and regress.
4. MALFUNCTIONING TREATMENT SYSTEM OR CHANGE IN CONDITIONS
If, in the opinion the Department, the small flow treatment facility (SFTF) is not operated in compliance with the conditions of this permit, or if the character of the waste changes, there is an increased load into the SFTF, the use or condition of the receiving stream changes, the effluent ceases to be satisfactory, or the discharge otherwise creates a nuisance, then upon notice from the Department, the right to discharge pursuant to this permit will cease. The Department may allow persons with such discharges a specified time period to implement remedial measures which will result in a satisfactory effluent discharge into the receiving stream.
5. AVAILABILITY OF PUBLIC SEWERAGE
Should municipal sewerage facilities become available, the permittee shall provide for the conveyance of its sewage to the municipal sewerage facilities, abandon the use of the SFTF, and notify the appropriate the Department's regional office accordingly.
