PA0087793, Industrial Waste, SIC Code 4941, United Water Pennsylvania, Inc., 4211 East Park Circle, Harrisburg, PA 17111-0151. This facility is in Mechanicsburg Borough, Cumberland County.
Description of activity: Renewal of an NPDES permit for a existing discharge of treated industrial waste.
The receiving stream, Trindle Spring Run, is in Watershed 7-B and classified for CWF, water supply, recreation and fish consumption. The nearest downstream public water supply intake is for the Steelton Municipal Waterworks on the Susquehanna River, approximately 21.8 miles downstream. The discharge is not expected to affect the water supply.
The proposed effluent limits for Outfall 001 based on a design flow of 0.030 MGD are:
Concentration (mg/l) Average Maximum Instantaneous Parameter Monthly Daily Maximum pH from 6.0 to 9.0 inclusive
Total Aluminum 1.40 2.80 3.50 Total Iron 0.25 0.50 0.62 Total Manganese 0.40 0.80 1.00 Total Suspended Solids 30 60 75 Individuals may make an appointment to review the Department files on this case by calling the File Review Coordinator at (717) 705-4732.

PA0088897, CAFO, Hissong Farmstead, Inc. (Hissong Dairy Farm), 5492 Buchanan Trail West, Greencastle, PA 17225. Hissong Farmstead, Inc. has submitted an application for an individual NPDES permit for an existing CAFO known as Hissong Dairy Farm, 5492 Buchanan Trail West, Peters and Montgomery Townships, Franklin County.
The CAFO is situated near an unnamed tributary of West Branch Conococheague Creek in Watershed 13-C (TSF, MF). Following expansion, the CAFO proposes to maintain an animal population of approximately 1,334 AEUs consisting of 720 adult dairy cows, 350 heifers aged 1 to 2 years, 205 heifers aged 0 to 1 year and 4 bulls. The adult dairy cows are housed in two barns, while the heifers are housed separately in multiple barns onsite. Dairy barn manure and milk parlor wastewater is collected, treated through a sand separator system to recover sand bedding and pumped to a solids separator building. Filtrate from the solids separator is discharged into a three-stage settling cell system and then overflows into a two-stage clay-lined manure impoundment with a total capacity of approximately 7.6 million gallons. Heifer manure is scraped into concrete reception pits, which also receive runoff from feedlots in some cases. Young heifer manure is collected with bedding and is stacked onsite. An additional 1.3 million gallons of storage capacity is available onsite. Liquid manure is spray irrigated and solid manure is land applied in accordance with the operation's Nutrient Management Plan.
The Department has conducted administrative and technical reviews of the application. Based on the preliminary review and application of lawful standards and regulations, the Department has made a tentative determination to issue an NPDES permit for the operation subject to the terms and conditions and monitoring and reporting requirements specified in the permit.
The permit application and draft permit are on file at the Southcentral Regional Office. Individuals may make an appointment to review the files by calling the File Review Coordinator at (717) 705-4732.
Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permit are invited to submit written comments to the previous address within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day period will be considered in formulating the Department's final determination regarding the application. Comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the basis of the comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
Following the 30-day comment period, the water management program manager will make a final determination regarding the proposed permit. Notice of this determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at which time the determination may be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.
The EPA permit waiver provision under 40 CFR 123.24(e) does not apply to this NPDES permit.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 1
Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate Submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Sections 302--305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of Notices of Intent to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate is used to identify a site where a person proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. Persons intending to use the Background Standard, Statewide Health Standard, the Site-Specific Standard or who intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area must file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department provides a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known or suspected contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site and a description of the intended future use of the site. A person who demonstrates attainment of one, a combination of the cleanup standards or who receives approval of a special industrial area remediation identified under the act will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for any contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by the Department. Furthermore, the person shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.
Under sections 304(n)(1)(ii) and 305(c)(2) of the act, there is a 30-day public and municipal comment period for sites proposed for remediation using a Site-Specific Standard, in whole or in part, and for sites remediated as a special industrial area. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the sites identified, proposed for remediation to a Site-Specific Standard or as a special industrial area, the municipality within which the site is located may request to be involved in the development of the remediation and reuse plans for the site if the request is made within 30 days of the date specified. During this comment period, the municipality may request that the person identified as the remediator of the site develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved and comments should be directed to the remediator of the site.
For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office before which the notice appears. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
