REQUEST FOR COMMENT
Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the Little Buffalo Creek Watershed in Union County.
Central Office: Clean Water Program, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101.
Contact: Michael Morris, 717-772-5670.
The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed ''TMDLs'' developed for the Little Buffalo Creek watershed under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included stream segments listed as impaired for aquatic life in the watershed. The impairments addressed by this document were caused by excessive siltation due to agriculture.
There currently are no state or Federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for sediment. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. The proposed TMDL document sets allowable loading of sediment in the Little Buffalo Creek watershed. The ''TMDLs'' included allocations for nonpoint sources; wasteload allocations for the Kelly Crossroads Sanitary Sewer System; reserves for point sources not assigned individual wasteload allocations and future point sources; as well as margin of safety factors. Nonpoint source load allocations were made for cropland, hay/pasture land and streambank source sectors present in the watershed. Data used in establishing the TMDLs were primarily generated using a water quality analysis model (Model My Watershed) made available through the Stroud Water Research Center.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loadings within the watershed, the prescribed ''TMDL'' values, and % reductions needed under annual average conditions.

WASTE, AIR, RADIATION AND REMEDIATION
The Counties of Mifflin And Juniata—Advertisement for Proposals.
Central Office: Waste Management Program, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101.
Contact: Teesha Truesdale 787-7382.
In accordance with the Pennsylvania Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act, Act 101 of July 28, 1988, as amended, and Chapter 272 of the Pennsylvania Rules and Regulations, 25 Pa. Code, the Counties of Mifflin and Juniata are soliciting proposals from regional landfills with the capacity to provide disposal for municipal solid waste (MSW), including construction and demolition (C&D) waste and municipal sewage sludge (Sludge) originating from Mifflin and Juniata Counties. Mifflin and Juniata counties (combined) generate approximately 40,000 tons of municipal waste, including C/D waste, annually. The term of provision of disposal capacity shall be ten (10) years, beginning in January 2025. Qualified respondents will be listed as designated facilities in the Regional Municipal Waste Management Plan that is currently being updated.
Written questions from proposers are due Friday, March 24, 2023, by 3:30 p.m. There will be no mandatory pre-proposal meeting.
Inquiries regarding this solicitation can be directed (via email) to Lisa Smith, Mifflin County Solid Waste Authority, P.O. Box 390, Lewistown, PA 17044, at lisa@mifflincountyswa.com. The deadline for sealed proposals is 12:00 p.m., prevailing local time, Friday, April 14, 2023.
Proposed Revision to The State Implementation Plan (SIP) and Notice of Intent to Modify Ract Plan Approval for Philadelphia Gas Works.
Philadelphia: Air Management Services: Air Quality Program, 321 University Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19104-4543.
Contact: https://www.phila.gov/departments/air-pollution-control-board/air-management-notices/.
Air Management Services (AMS) proposes to modify the approved Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plan approval for the following facility:
Philadelphia Gas Works—Richmond, 3100 East Venango Street, to remove the following Condition from the approved SIP and RACT plan approval:
Internal combustion engines rated at less than 500 bhp (gross) which are set and maintaining 4° retarded relative to standard timing.
The modified RACT plan approval will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval and incorporation into Pennsylvania's SIP.
RACT and SIP Revision Background
The three (3) 295 hp Caterpillar emergency fire pump engines were first installed in 1974 and were originally permitted as non-emergency engines. During the approval of the 1997 RACT permit, the facility proposed to comply with the presumptive RACT emissions limitations of 25 Pa. Code § 129.93(c) for the engines, which are the installation, maintenance, and operation of the source in accordance with manufacturers specifications. The presumptive RACT emissions limitations of 25 Pa. Code § 129.93(c) apply to source types under 25 Pa. Code § 129.93(c)(1)—(7). Condition 1(B)(3) of the RACT permit included the following source type in establishing the NOx RACT for PGW:
(3) Internal combustion engines rated at less than 500 bhp (gross) which are set and maintaining 4° retarded relative to standard timing.
This source type requirement under 25 Pa. Code § 129.93(c)(3) was included in the RACT plan approval No. 51-4922, issued July 26, 1999. EPA approved the source-specific case-by-case determinations of the RACT permit as part of the SIP on October 31, 2001 (66 FR 54947).
Ultimately the units never maintained at 4° retarded relative to standard timing, as indicated by a 2012 Manufacturer Letter. PGW has provided documentation from the manufacturer that indicates the units were installed operating at 12.5 degrees retarded and that further retarding the timing would result in premature valve and turbo charger failure. Additionally, retarding the engine timing by 4 degrees would result in increased emissions of hydrocarbons.
The plan approval will contain monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements to ensure operation within all applicable requirements.
''This proposed SIP revision and other supporting information are available for inspection at the offices of AMS during normal business hours or on AMS' website at https://www.phila.gov/departments/air-pollution-control-board/air-management-notices/.
Interested persons may submit written comments or a request for a public hearing on the proposed SIP revision package to Air Management Services, 321 University Ave, 2nd Floor, Philadelphia, PA, 19104, Attn: DPHAMS_Service_Requests@Phila.Gov. Use ''PGW RACT SIP Revision'' as the subject line in written communication within thirty (30) days from today.
