   PAG#123560, CAFO, Rohrer Dairy Farm LLC, 124 Charleston Road, Washington Boro, PA 17582.

   This proposed facility is located in Manor Township, Lancaster County.

   Description of Proposed Activity:  The Rohrer Dairy Farm LLC is an existing dairy and swine operation with a total AEUs of 1,557.9. An estimated quantity of total annual manure production is 95,088 tons. The operation consists of 750 milking cows, 100 dry cows, 385 heifers, 1,400 calves and 130 swine. The dairy manure is handled as both a liquid and solid. The liquid manure storage consists of a slotted floor barn with two pits 432 ft × 47 ft × 8 ft deep with a useable storage of approximately 2.3 million gallons. There is also a slurry store and three round concrete manure storages associated with the main dairy. The slurry store is 62 ft × 23 ft with a useable storage of 490,000 gallons. The round concrete structures are 32 ft × 12 ft with a combined useable storage of 216,000 gallons. The manure storage for the swine facility is a lagoon roughly 0.35 acres × 12 feet with a useable storage of 1.200 million gallons. All of the manure generated on the farm is used on the farm.

   The receiving stream, Stamans Run, is in the State Water Plan watershed 7-J and is classified for:  WWF.

   The proposed effluent limits for the operation/activity include:  Except for the chronic or catastrophic rainfall events defined as over the 25 year/24 hour rain storms, the CAFO general permit is a non-discharge NPDES permit. Where applicable, compliance with 40 CFR Federal effluent limitation guidelines is required. The general permit requires no other numeric effluent limitations and compliance with Pennsylvania Nutrient Management Act and the Clean Stream Law constitutes compliance with the state narrative water quality standards.

   This proposed facility is located in Perry Township, Berks County.

   Description of Proposed Activity:  The Quail Ridge Farm is new swine facility with estimated total AEUs of 1,379.8. An estimated quantity of total annual manure production is 1,488 tons. The operation will consist of 2,800 sows, 336 sows with litter, four boars and 688 gilt finishers. The animals will be confined to two barns 365 days a year, 100% of the time. The gestation barn will be 87 feet wide and 718 feet long with a 9-foot deep reinforced, concrete, manure storage under the building. The total depth of the storage minus the freeboard from the lowest level of the pit fans is seven foot. The approximate total volume of the storage equals 3,270,720 gallons. The farrowing barns will be 82 feet wide and 458 feet long with a 2-foot shallow reinforced concrete storage under the building. The approximate total volume of the storage equals 561,838 gallons. The manure from the farrowing barn flows via gravity into the large storage under the gestation barn. The manure is pumped from the large storage into a tank truck for injection into the soil. Of the 2,975,860 gallons of manure generated on the farm, 1,055,870 will be used on the farm with 1,919,990 gallons exported from the farm to neighboring farms.

   The receiving stream, UNT to Pequea Creek, is in the State Water Plan watershed 3-B and is classified for:  HQ-CWF.

   The proposed effluent limits for the operation/activity include:  Except for the chronic or catastrophic rainfall events defined as over the 25 year/24 hour rain storms, the CAFO general permit is a non-discharge NPDES permit. Where applicable, compliance with 40 CFR Federal effluent limitation guidelines is required. The general permit requires no other numeric effluent limitations and compliance with Pennsylvania Nutrient Management Act and the Clean Stream Law constitutes compliance with the state narrative water quality standards.

The expansion will include a new free-stall barn with milking parlor and a new manure handling system. After the expansion there will be approximately 600 Holstein milking cows with 100 dry cows, 350 heifers, 350 calves and four bulls. The new manure handling system will consist of a solid separator and a two stage HDPE lined liquid storage facility. Of the 5,866,257 gallons and 8,866 tons of manure generated on the farm none of this is exported from the farm but all used on the owned or rented farm..

   The receiving stream, Tulpehocken Creek, is in the State Water Plan watershed 3-C and is classified for:  TSF.

   The proposed effluent limits for the operation/activity include:  Except for the chronic or catastrophic rainfall events defined as over the 25 year/24 hour rain storms, the CAFO general permit is a nondischarge NPDES permit.
