Plan Description:
Norma Street Sewer Extension Sewage Facilities Planning Module Component 3M. The proposal is located in Palmer Township, Northampton County and consists of the extension of the existing sanitary sewer system to 24 existing homes and 10 vacant lots in the area of Norma Street in the Township. The proposed sanitary sewer extension will be connected to the existing collection and conveyance system owned by the Township at existing Manholes B33 and B30. The sewage will be conveyed through Palmer Township, Wilson Borough, and ultimately treated at the existing Easton Area Joint Sewer Authority wastewater treatment plant (NPDES Permit No. PA0027235). The Sewage Facilities Planning Module Component 3m is approved.

Plan Description:
Garfield Avenue Extension Act 537 Minor Update Revision. The Plan's selected alternative involves a sanitary sewer extension to address malfunctioning and/or existing unpermitted on-lot systems in North Manheim Township along Garfield Avenue, West 2nd Mountain Road, North Manheim Road, and associated connecting streets. Out of the 55 on-lot systems in question, 21 were surveyed. The survey resulted in 3 confirmed malfunctions and 11 suspected malfunctions. The alternative option of maintaining the on-lot systems was dismissed due 74% of the systems facing potential malfunction, and 9% experiencing confirmed malfunction. The selected alternative involves the construction of approximately 4,820 linear feet of 8-inch PVC sanitary sewer, 1,125 linear feet of 6-inch SDR-26 PVC sanitary sewer lateral, and 30 EA of 4-foot diameter precast concrete manholes, wyes, laterals, cleanouts, utility coordinate, traffic control, and associated site restoration. It was determined that the expansion of the sanitary sewer service area in North Manheim Township was the most cost-effective, as the estimated cost of the project was $2,345,265.00. The Plan is approved.

Plan Description:
Beaumont Springs, A3-67931-302-3. The planning module for the Beaumont Springs, DEP Code No. A3-67931-302-3, APS ID 1124427, consisting of a proposed 45-lot multi-family and single-family residential subdivision on 16.04 acres is disapproved. Total estimated sewage flows are 13,000 gpd, and they were planned to be tributary to the Jackson Township collection and conveyance system and wastewater treatment plant. The proposed development is located between Stoverstown Road and Cedarlyn Drive at Lester Avenue in Jackson Township, York County. This plan is disapproved because the planning submission fails to address Chapter 71, Section 71.21(a)(5)(i)(B) and Section 71.52(a)(6)(ii). The sewage planning module for the proposed development indicates the additional wasteload will cause an overload in the Township's collection and conveyance system, but it does not indicate how consistency with Chapter 94 will be achieved. Furthermore, the module does not document the institutional arrangements, such as agreements between the developer and Township, that are necessary for the implementation of this plan revision.

Plan Description:
Joseph T. Kiely, A3-67929-241-3s. The planning module for the proposed Joseph T. Kiely Small Flow Treatment Facility (SFTF) proposal, DEP Code No. A3-67929-241-3s, APS ID 1123447, consisting of a one lot single-family residential development on 1.214 acres is disapproved. Total proposed sewage flows are 400 gpd, and they will be tributary to a SFTF and with a discharge to an unnamed tributary of Kreutz Creek. The proposed development is located at the end of Woodshead Terrace, on the south side. This plan is disapproved because 1) The Pennsylvania Natural Diversity Index (PNDI) search included with the planning submission predates March 31, 2023 and does not ensure screening sensitive to the listing change for the Northern Long-Eared Bat. The United States Fish & Wildlife Service (USFWS) issued a final rule on March 31, 2023 to reclassify the Federal listing of the Northern Long-Eared Bat as an Endangered Species under the Endangered Species Act. The Northern Long-Eared Bat, listed as Threatened in 2015, now faces extinction due to the range-wide impacts of the white-nose syndrome, a deadly disease affecting hibernating bats across North America. Habitat screening for the Northern Long-Eared Bat is now required in all counties of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and must be completed by the applicant using the PNDI environmental review within the Pennsylvania Conservation Explorer. To ensure your project considers potential impacts to this Federally listed species, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is requiring projects reviewed prior to March 31, 2023 to be re-screened. 2) The planning submission lacks documentation of site conditions, particularly slope, that cause the lot in question to not be suitable for on-lot sewage disposal. 3) The planning submissions does not have a copy of the public notice, which is required in Section O of the Component 3s and by Chapter 71, Section 71.53(d)(6) for new land development submissions. 4) The planning submission fails to address operation and maintenance of the proposed Small Flow Treatment Facility as required by Section Q.1 of the Component 3s and by Chapter 71, Section 71.64.(c)(5). 5) For any future submission of this project, the planning review fee, as required by Section R of the Component 3s and by Chapter 71, Section 71.83(a)(4), will be: 1 proposed EDU × $35/EDU = $35.

Edith Rice, A3-01929-374-3s. The planning module for the Edith Rice Small Flow Treatment Facility (SFTF), DEP Code No. A3-01929-374-3s, APS ID 1118606, consisting of SFTF proposal to replace a malfunctioning on-lot disposal system serving an existing dwelling on 0.9108 acre is disapproved. Total estimated sewage flows are 500 gpd, and there is a proposed dry stream discharge to an unnamed tributary of Upper Rock Creek. The proposed development is located at 1480 Old Harrisburg Road in Straban Township, Adams County. This plan is disapproved because information requested in the Department's August 16, 2024 Technical Deficiency Letter was not addressed, particularly: 1) The mapping should show if there are any wells within 200 feet of the proposed discharge path to Rock Creek. If there are wells within that distance, a hydrogeologic study should be completed to determine if the future discharge will adversely affect the wells, and 2) Specifically, the applicant failed to supply a preliminary hydrogeologic study that provides documentation, data, calculations, and analysis to show the discharge will not negatively impact the three wells identified to be within 200 feet of the proposed discharge path as per Chapter 71, Section 71.64(c)(3). This analysis should include an estimation of zones of contribution around each well, and the nitrate-nitrogen impacts to these wells. Background nitrate-nitrogen from the wells and discharge channel surface water should be used in the evaluation.

The planning module for the David S. & Samuel Esh & Rebecca Sue King, DEP Code No. B3-01931-158-2, APS ID 1113432, consisting of a two-lot single-family residential subdivision on 80.14 acres is disapproved. Total estimated sewage flows are 400 gpd, and they will be treated by an individual on-lot disposal system. The proposed development is located at 305 Basehoar School Road in Union Township, Adams County. This plan is disapproved because the site investigation testing performed on Lot 6 does not meet general site suitability criteria as outlined in Chapter 71, Section 71.62(a). Particularly, many of the limiting zones are not a minimum of 20 inches, as required by Chapter 73, Section 73.14(a)(5) for siting absorption areas other than Individual Residential Spray Irrigation Systems (IRSIS). Additional site investigation should be conducted in order to locate absorption areas that are consistent with Chapter 73.
