SPECIAL NOTICES

Policy for Conducting Technical Reviews of Minor NPDES Renewal Applications Under The Clean Streams Law; Notice of Availability

   The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has finalized its policy setting forth a process for prioritizing and reviewing minor NPDES permit renewal applications under sections 202 and 307 of The Clean Streams Law and Chapter 92 of the Department's regulations.

   Section 202 of The Clean Streams Law provides that no municipality or person shall discharge or permit the discharge of sewage in any manner, directly or indirectly, into waters of the Commonwealth unless such discharge is authorized by the rules and regulations of the Department or such person or municipality has first obtained a permit from the department. Section 307 provides that no person or municipality shall discharge or permit the discharge of industrial wastes in any manner, directly or indirectly, into any of the waters of the Commonwealth unless such discharge is authorized by the rules and regulations of the Department or such person or municipality has first obtained a permit from the Department. Chapter 92 sets forth substantive and procedural requirements for wastewater discharges to surface waters.

   The policy streamlines the NPDES minor permit renewal process by allowing permit application reviews to be conducted based on the results of a prioritization evaluation. The prioritization focuses on the current environmental significance of the discharge and the legal status of the permittee. Permittees who are in compliance with their existing permit, have made no major changes over the life of the permit, and are causing no known water quality impairment receive an expedited application review. The accelerated review process allows the Department permit reviewer to accept previous water quality modeling efforts if they reasonably reflect up to date information on the discharge and stream conditions, and the original calculations are accurate in all material respects. This policy ensures more timely action on minor NPDES renewal applications, and enables DEP to apply the resultant savings in staff time to higher priority cases.

   Persons wishing to obtain a copy of the policy may request it from the Bureau of Water Quality Protection, Division of Wastewater Management, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8465, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8465, (717) 787-8184, or by Internet E-mail (Gansell.Stuart@al.dep.state.pa.us).
