Final Technical Guidance: Substantive Revision

 DEP ID: 385-2208-003. Title: Alternate Onlot Sewage Pretreatment Technology Verification Policy (TVP). Description: The act of July 20, 2017 (P.L. 321, No. 26) (Act 26) amended the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P.S. §§ 750.1—750.20a) to allow alternate onlot systems to satisfy sewage planning requirements in the establishment of new lots. Act 26 also requires the Department to evaluate the latest scientific, technical and field-testing information concerning alternate systems and to evaluate the existing alternate systems based on that information. Act 26 became effective on September 18, 2017. This TGD establishes the scientific, technical and field-testing standards for alternate onlot systems. Compared with the draft TGD, substantive revisions have been made to the final TGD; many of these changes were made in response to consultation with the Department's Sewage Advisory Committee and public comments received on the draft TGD.

 Contact: Questions regarding this TGD should be directed to Brian K. Schlauderaff at bschlauder@pa.gov or (717) 772-5620.

 Effective Date: May 9, 2020
