SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT PLAN APPROVAL
Plan Approvals Granted Under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. § 750.5)
Northeast Region: Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790
Plan Location:
Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County Jackson Township 1275 Huntsville Road Jackson Township, PA 18708 Luzerne Plan Description: The Component 3M Module proposes the construction of a gravity and low-pressure wastewater collection and conveyance system to serve 19 properties within the Bulford Farms Development as described in the Module's project narrative and illustrated on the Module's plot plan. Wastewater from the project area will be conveyed, via a new gravity interceptor, to a connection point located in the Sutton Hills area of Jackson Township as shown on the Module's plot plan. From this connection point, wastewater from the project area will flow through the existing Jackson Township Wastewater Collection/Conveyance System to the Dallas Area Municipal Authority's (DAMA) Main Pumping Station. The project area's wastewater will then be conveyed through DAMA's conveyance system to the Wyoming Valley Sanitary Authority's (WVSA) conveyance system at its Loveland Pump Station with conveyance to the WVSA Wastewater Treatment Facility through force mains and gravity interceptor lines owned and operated by WVSA as shown in the drawings found in the Module. No modifications of the DAMA or WVSA wastewater conveyance facilities will be required to facilitate the conveyance of the project area's wastewater from Jackson Township to the WVSA Wastewater Treatment Facility. Treatment of the project area's wastewater will occur at WVSA's Wastewater Treatment Facility located in Hanover Township, Luzerne County. Treated wastewater will be ultimately discharged to the Susquehanna River.
Financing of the project's proposed wastewater collection and conveyance systems is to be provided by the Township through a private bank loan and through capital contributions from each of the property owners to be serviced by the proposed wastewater collection system.
In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act, 35 P. S. §§ 750.1—750.20(a) (Act 537), and Chapter 71 of the Department's regulations (25 Pa. Code Ch. 71), the Department will hold Jackson Township responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the Module's selected wastewater disposal alternative as listed in the Module's Project Narrative and its corresponding schedule of implementation.
Any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the Module and its correspondence, must be in compliance with the Department's regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.

Port Matilda, PA 16870Centre Plan Description: The approved plan provides for the continued use of the existing Port Matilda Borough Authority Wastewater Treatment Plant, by both Port Matilda Borough and a portion of western Worth Township. The wastewater treatment plant is projected to have sufficient capacity for the next fifteen years, with the process of initiating a plant upgrade set to begin when the current facilities reach eighty percent (80%) of capacity. The plan also documented the need to immediately raise the quarterly EDU user rate costs, with the need to evaluate additional rate cost increases annually, so as to maintain financial soundness. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

Alexandria PA 16611Huntingdon Plan Description: The planning module for the Emily Estates Subdivision Amendment, DEP Code No. A3-31927-039-2A, APS Id 663529, consisting of a proposed change in use of a previously approved 31 lot single family residential subdivision using individual on lot sewage disposal systems to a 31 lot age restricted development providing for two cottages per lot using community on lot sewage disposal systems is disapproved. The proposed development is located on the west side of State Road 45 approximately 0.5 mile north of its intersection with State Road 453 in Morris Township. This plan is disapproved because the plan failed to adequately address the ownership, operation and maintenance of the community on lot sewage disposal systems that will serve each two cottage arrangement as required by Chapter 71, Section 71.72.
HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988
Notice of Proposed Interim Response
Oreville Quarry Site, Longswamp Township,
Berks CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102—6020.1303) (HSCA) is proposing an interim response at the Oreville Quarry Site.
The site is a former iron ore quarry located on Old Topton Road in Longswamp Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. Groundwater serving residential wells has been found to be contaminated with tetrachloroethylene, also referred to as perchloroethylene, or PCE. The Department conducted a prompt interim response at this site in August 2003 to provide and maintain individual water treatment units to eight impacted residences. This action was taken to protect public health and safety. For the last three years semi-annual sampling results for water supply wells have been below the safe drinking water Maximum Contaminant Level of 5 ppb for PCE. The Department will give the residents the option of retaining and maintaining their treatment system or have the Department remove the system.
Deteriorated drums have been identified in the western portion of the former iron ore quarry, several of which were partially filled with waste. Arsenic, barium, cadmium, lead, and nickel in the contaminated soil constitute an open exposure pathway for dermal contact and ingestion. The proposed response for the site includes the removal of visible drums and debris, the installation of a soil cover, the application of environmental covenants restricting property use, as well as the installation of a gate on the access road to limit access. These measures will provide overall, long-term protection to human health and the environment, comply with a site specific cleanup standard, and be a cost effective response.
The Department is providing this notice under sections 505(b) and 506(b) of HSCA (35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(b)), and the publication of this notice starts the administrative record period under HSCA. The Administrative Record, which contains information about this site and which supports the Department's decision to perform this action at the site, is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record can be examined from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Department's Southcentral Regional Office located at 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, by contacting Elise Juers at 717.705.4852. The Administrative Record can also be reviewed at the Longswamp Township Office located at 1112 State Street, Mertztown, PA 19539 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. by calling 610. 682.7388.
The Administrative Record will be open for comment from the date of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on June 30, 2012, and will remain open for 90 days. Persons may submit written comments regarding this action to the Department before September 28, 2012, by mailing them to Elise Juers, Project Manager at the Regional Office address.
The public will have an opportunity to present oral comments regarding the proposed action at a public hearing. The hearing has been scheduled for August 2, 2012, at 7:00 p.m. at the Longswamp Township Office located at 1112 State Street, Mertztown, PA. Persons wishing to present formal oral comment at the hearing should register before 4:00 p.m., July 31, 2012 by calling Elise Juers at 717.705.4852. There will be an informational presentation of the investigations conducted at the site and the Department's planned activities prior to the hearing.
Persons with a disability, who wish to attend the hearing and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings, should call Elise Juers at 717 705.4852 or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at 1-800.654.5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, will also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation; concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of reuse of the property; and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the Irish Creek Watershed in Berks County The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the Irish Creek Watershed in Berks County, PA. These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included impaired stream segments in this watershed. The listings of these waterbodies were due to use impairments caused by excessive siltation.
There currently are no state or federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment in the Irish Creek Watershed. The sediment loadings were allocated among cropland, hay/pasture land, transitional land and streambank categories present in the watershed. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loadings for the watershed. Overall load reductions necessary in order to meet the TMDLs are also identified.

The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department. The proposed TMDLs and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's website (www.dep.state.pa.us/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/). To request a copy of any of the proposed TMDLs contact Bill Brown, Chief, TMDL Development Section, Bureau of Point and Nonpoint Source Management, Department of Environmental Protection, Rachel Carson State Office Building, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8774, 717-783-2951, willbrown@pa.gov
The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDLs, which will be submitted to EPA for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked by 30 days after publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. A public meeting to discuss the technical merits of the TMDLs will be held upon request.
