APPLICATIONS FOR NATIONAL POLLUTION DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) PERMITS AND WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT (WQM) PERMITS This notice provides information about persons who have applied for a new, amended or renewed NPDES or WQM permit, a permit waiver for certain stormwater discharges or submitted a Notice of Intent (NOI) for coverage under a general permit. The applications concern, but are not limited to, discharges related to industrial, animal or sewage waste, discharges to groundwater, discharges associated with municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4), stormwater associated with construction activities or concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92 and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act.

For applications for new NPDES permits and renewal applications with major changes in Section II, as well as applications for MS4 individual permits and individual stormwater construction permits in Sections IV and VI, the Department, based upon preliminary reviews, has made a tentative determination of proposed effluent limitations and other terms and conditions for the permit applications. These determinations are published as proposed actions for comments prior to taking final actions.
Unless indicated otherwise, the EPA Region III Administrator has waived the right to review or object to proposed NPDES permit actions under the waiver provision in 40 CFR 123.24(d).
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES application are invited to submit a statement to the regional office noted before an application within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Persons wishing to comment on a WQM permit application are invited to submit a statement to the regional office noted before the application within 15 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within the respective comment periods will be considered in the final determinations regarding the applications. Comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests for a public hearing on applications. A public hearing may be held if the responsible office considers the public response significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. The Department will postpone its final determination until after a public hearing is held.
Persons with a disability who require an auxiliary aid, service, including TDD users, or other accommodations to seek additional information should contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

PA0036978, Sewage, SIC 4952, Telford Borough Authority, 122 Penn Avenue, P. O. Box 209, Telford, PA 18969-0209. The Telford Borough Authority Sewage Treatment Plant is located at 109 Telford Pike in Franconia Township, Montgomery County.
As a result of a completed Water Effect Ratio (WER) study performed by Telford Borough Authority, the water quality criteria for copper found in Chapter 16 of the Commonwealth's environmental protection regulations has been revised as allowed in 25 Pa. Code § 93.8. The approved WER is 5.27 for dissolved Copper and 5.52 for Total Recoverable Copper.
The revised copper criterion hardness-based equations for the wastewater discharge from the Telford Borough Sewage Treatment Plant to Indian Creek are as follows:
Criteria Continuous Concentration (CCC): WER × 0.960 × Exp (0.8545 × ln[H]-1.702)
Criteria Maximum Concentration (CMC): WER × 0.960 × Exp (0.9422 × ln[H]-1.700)
Using these new equations and the weighted mean hardness [H] of 172 mg/l as CaCO3, the site-specific recalculated copper, dissolved, criterion values are:
CCC = 75 µg/L
CMC = 118 µg/LThe recalculated copper, dissolved, criterion values translate to a copper, total, average monthly limitation of 78 ug/l and an instantaneous maximum limit of 122 µg/l, subject to submission and approval of an NPDES permit amendment.

Southcentral Region: Water Management Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, (717) 705-4707.Application No. PA0065161, Dale Stoltzfus (Dale Stoltzfus Farm), 166 Rock Road, Pine Grove, PA 17963.
Dale Stoltzfus has submitted an application for a CAFO National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit on January 26, 2007, for a proposed agricultural operation known as the Dale Stoltzfus Farm, located on Farm View Road in Washington Township, Schuylkill County. The CAFO would be situated near a UNT of Lower Little Swatara Creek, which is classified as a CWF. The nearest downstream public surface water supply is the Lebanon Municipal Authority intake on Swatara Creek. The farm is not expected to impact the water supply.
The operation would include 37,600 finishing ducks in two 45` by 450` animal housing units. Manure generated by the ducks will be collected in an HDPE-lined manure storage impoundment located adjacent to the barns, with an approximate storage capacity of 1.1 million gallons with 12 inches of freeboard. The impoundment is expected to provide at least 14 months of manure storage capacity. The Nutrient Management Plan indicates that there are approximately 56 acres under the control of the farm for manure application. The majority of manure will be exported offsite to neighboring farms for land application.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has conducted a preliminary review of the application and has deemed the application administratively complete. The Department has made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit. The draft permit proposes BMPs for manure management, erosion and sediment pollution control and manure storage. The State Conservation Commission, through the Schuylkill County Conservation District, approved the Nutrient Management Plan for this proposed agricultural operation on October 4, 2006.
The permit application, draft permit and Nutrient Management Plan are on file at the Southcentral Regional Office of the Department. Persons may make an appointment to review these documents and related files by calling Jennifer Troutman at (717) 705-4732 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Persons wishing to comment on the draft permit or the Nutrient Management Plan are invited to submit written comments to the Southcentral Regional Office within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Written comments should be sent to Sean Furjanic, Watershed Management Program, DEP Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200. Comments received within this 30-day public comment 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.
The Department has also scheduled a public hearing to receive testimony and comments on the proposed CAFO NPDES permit. The hearing will be held on August 15, 2007, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Department's Pottsville District Office, 5 West Laurel Boulevard, Pottsville, PA 17901-2454, (570) 621-3118.
Individuals intending to testify at the hearing should register by August 10, 2007, by calling John Repetz at (717) 705-4904. If no person registers to testify by August 10, 2007, the hearing will not be held. Persons interested in finding out if anyone has registered to testify, and if the hearing will be held, may contact John Repetz.
Each individual will have up to 10 minutes for their presentation. To ensure that all speakers have a fair and equal opportunity to present their testimony, relinquishing of time will be prohibited. Further details relating to the procedures to be followed at the hearing will be outlined at the beginning of the proceedings.
Following the 30-day comment period and public hearing, the Watershed 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 Environmental Protection Agency permit waiver provision under 40 CFR 123.24(e) does not apply to this NPDES permit.
