   Under the authority of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001) and sections 1905-A, 1917-A and 1920-A of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. §§ 510-5, 510-17 and 510-20), the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is, by this notice, extending for an additional 12 months the availability of the current NPDES PAG-13 Stormwater Discharges from MS4s. The current PAG-13 permit was extended for 12 months at 37 Pa.B. 4928 (September 8, 2007). The current PAG-13 permit is scheduled to expire at midnight March 9, 2009, unless rescinded by the Department at an earlier date. This extension will be effective on March 10, 2009, and will expire at midnight on March 9, 2010. The Department is extending the availability of this permit in order to adequately complete the preparation of the renewal of PAG-13.

Included in this extension is the requirement to continue implementation of the existing program and to provide annual reports on the progress of program implementation.

   The existing PAG-13 permit documents will continue to be available from the Department's regional offices and local county conservation districts until they are replaced or updated. In addition, the permit documents are on file at the Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Watershed Management, 10th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101.
