SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT

PLAN APPROVAL


Plan Approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).

   Northeast Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, (570) 826-2511.

   Hazle Township, Luzerne County.

   The Department has reviewed the Official Sewage Facilities Special Study (Special Study) dated March 1999 (received by the Department on March 19, 1999), revised December 15, 1999 (revisions received by the Department on December 17, 1999) with additional documentation/information dated February 10, 2000 (received by the Department on February 11, 2000) as submitted by Schumacher Engineering, Inc., on behalf of Hazle Township (Township) and the Municipal Authority of Hazle Township (Authority).

   The Department's review has found that the Special Study is acceptable and hereby grants planning approval.

   The Special Study calls for the construction of a new wastewater collection and conveyance system as outlined in Option 1-C of the Special Study. The proposed wastewater collection/conveyance system will serve approximately 586 Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDU's) in the following areas of Hazle Township: Harleigh Terrace, Ebervale, Oakmont Acres, Oakdale, Middletown, Japan, Drifton, Youngstown and Forest Hill Acres. The conveyance system will also provide additional capacity to transport wastewater from 55 EDU's to be serviced by the proposed Jeddo Borough Wastewater Collection System.

   Wastewater from the planning area will be conveyed through approximately 69,100 feet of gravity sewer line varying from 8 inches to 15 inches in diameter. The conveyance system will also utilize three wastewater pumping stations and approximately 5,600 feet of 6 inch and 10 inch force main to transport wastewater from the planning area to an existing 12 inch interceptor line located along S. R. 0940 in the Village of Harleigh. All of the planning area's wastewater, with the exception of the Forest Hill Acres Area, will be conveyed to this tie-in point for transmission to the Greater Hazleton Joint Sewer Authority's Wastewater Treatment Facility for treatment and discharge. Wastewater from the Forest Hill Acres Area will be conveyed to a proposed, privately-owned wastewater collection system in the Hazle Springs area for eventual transmission to the Greater Hazleton Joint Sewer Authority's Diamond Avenue Pump Station.

   Financing for the proposed wastewater collection/conveyance system will be provided by the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service.

   With the approval of the Special Study, Hazle Township will limit new or replacement wastewater disposal systems in the planning area to holding tanks. These holding tanks will be used only as an interim/temporary wastewater disposal method until the proposed wastewater collection/conveyance system is constructed and operational in all portions of the planning area. In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20(a)) (Act 537), and Chapter 71 of the Department's regulations (25 Pa. Code Ch. 71), the Department will hold Hazle Township and its municipal Authority responsible for the complete and timely implementation of Option 1-C, as listed in the Special Study and its corresponding schedule of implementation.

   Any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the Special Study and its correspondence must be in compliance with the Department's regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.

   This approval correspondence covers only the wastewater planning aspects of the selected wastewater disposal alternative as it relates to the Township's Official Sewage Facilities Plan. Implementation of the selected wastewater disposal alternative will require a Water Management Part II Permit for the construction and operation of the proposed sewage facilities. The permit application must be submitted in the name of the Township or Authority as appropriate. Issuance of a Part II Permit will be based upon a technical evaluation of the permit application and supporting documentation. Starting construction prior to obtaining a Part II Permit is a violation of The Clean Streams Law. Please include a copy of this approval correspondence with the Water Management Part II Permit Application when it is submitted to this office.

   Other Departmental permits may be required for construction if encroachment to streams or wetlands will result. Information regarding the requirements for such permits or approvals can be obtained from the Northeast Regional Office's Soils and Waterways Section at the letterhead address or by telephone at (570) 826-2511.

   Northcentral Regional Office: Department of Environmental Protection, Water Management Program Manager, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448, (570) 327-0530.

   Location: Borough of Beavertown, Snyder County. Project Description: The approved plan calls for the Beavertown Municipal Authority to construct a new and expanded wastewater treatment facility to replace the existing aged and overloaded facility. The new 160,000 gallon per day aerated lagoon type facility will be built in the northern portion of the Borough and will discharge treated effluent to Kerns Run via a new outfall line to be constructed through Beaver Township. The approval plan also calls for the systematic replacement of the Borough's existing sewage collection system, which is subject to significant amounts of infiltration and inflow, over a 20 year period. Leaky private laterals will be replaced in conjunction with the replacement of the public collection lines. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

   Northwest Regional Office: Regional Water Management Program Manager, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481, (814) 332-6942.

   The Orangeville Pump Station, Sharpsville Borough, South Pymatuning Township, Hermitage, Mercer County. Joseph Augustine, Executive Director, Upper Shenango Valley Water Collection Control Authority, P. O. Box 1449, Hermitage, PA 16148. Project Description: This approved project proposes an upgrade and expansion of the pump station to eliminate sanitary sewer overflows to the Shenango River. The pump station and its overflow are upstream of the intake for the Consumers Pennsylvania Water Company Treatment Plant. The pump station will be expanded to handle a peak hourly flow of 11.4 mgd. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
