   The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection. A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District mining office indicated above each application. Where a 401 water quality certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for such certification.

   Written comments or objections, or requests for informal conferences on applications, may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the same address within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121--77.123 and 86.31--86.34 (relating to public notices of filing of permit applications, opportunity for comment, and informal conferences).

   Where any of the mining activities listed below will have discharges of wastewater to streams, the Department will incorporate NPDES permits into the mining activity permits issued in response to these applications. Such NPDES permits will contain, at a minimum, technology-based effluent limitations (as described in the Department's regulations--25 Pa. Code §§ 77.522, 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.242, 89.52 and 90.102) for iron, manganese, suspended solids, settleable solids, alkalinity and pH. In addition to the above, more restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining which may occur will be incorporated into a mining activity permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chs. 93 and 95). Persons or agencies which have requested review of the NPDES permit requirements for a particular mining activity within the above-mentioned public comment period will be provided with a 30-day period to review and submit comments on those requirements.

   Written comments or objections should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections, application number and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based. Requests for an informal conference must contain the name, address and telephone number of requestor, application number, a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.

   Jefferson Township, Lackawanna County

   The Department has completed reviewing the Act 537 Official Plan Revision for Jefferson Township, dated June 1995, including supplemental information as transmitted to us under cover of letters from John Devine, Smith Environmental Technologies Corporation, dated October 19, 1995, and January 16, 1996. The Department finds the plan revision acceptable and hereby grants planning approval for the proposed project.

   The proposed plan, identified as Alternative III-A, calls for construction of a sewage collection and conveyance system and a 0.410 million gallons per day sewage treatment facility to serve large portions of the Township. The treatment plant will discharge to an unnamed tributary of the west branch Wallenpaupack Creek. The plan also calls for construction of a sewage collection system to serve the Moosic Lakes area, which will connect to the proposed Lackawanna River Basin Sewer Authority's Moosic Mountain Business Park interceptor. The Department's review of this plan revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

   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 Jefferson Township responsible for the complete and timely implementation of this plan.

   Conceptual approval leaves to be addressed at a later date: (1) the effluent limitations to satisfy special protection requirements and to protect health and (2) specific treatment technologies.

   Please note that the Department does not interpret the language contained in the plan and in the Adopting Resolution regarding PENNVEST funding to mean that implementation of the Plan is contingent upon receipt of a 1% interest rate loan from PENNVEST.
