Hostetter Management Company, LLC, James Eisenhour Jr. and Jerry Sweitzer have submitted an application for an Individual NPDES permit for an existing CAFO known as Cedar Hill Farm.

   The CAFO is situated near Wolf Run in Watershed 7-F, which is classified for WWF. The CAFO is designed to maintain an animal population of approximately 1,435 AEUs consisting of 3,650 swine (total for sows, grower pigs and nursery pigs), 550 beef steers, 100 beef cows and calves and 60,000 chickens. The swine, beef and poultry operations are separate and each has its own manure storage facilities. At the swine operation, manure is stored in a 819,000-gallon circular concrete tank and in a 150` x 150` x 7` deep concrete pit beneath the nursery barn. Dry manure from the poultry operation is composted and then spread on fields. Solid manure from the beef operation is scraped and hauled to fields, with some manure runoff is collected in an underground storage tank. All manure from the operations is land-applied in accordance with an approved Nutrient Management Plan.

   The Department has conducted administrative and technical reviews of the application. Based on the preliminary review and application of lawful standards and regulations, the Department has made a tentative determination to issue an NPDES permit for the operation subject to the terms and conditions and monitoring and reporting requirements specified in the draft permit.
