Currently, the interstate transfer is 120 million gallons (mg)/30 days (approved via Docket No. D-84-10-CP (Supplement No. 2)). DNREC has requested DRBC to approve an increase to 180 mg/30 days and an extension of the interstate agreement to December 31, 2021. The Department of Environmental Protection has approved the project transfer by CWA.

   2.  Village of Deposit D-86-29 CP Renewal 2. An application for the renewal of a ground water withdrawal project to supply up to 30 mg/30 days of water to the applicant's distribution system from well nos. 1 through 4. Commission approval on December 11, 1991 was limited to 5 years. The applicant requests that the total withdrawal from all wells remain limited to 30 mg/30 days. The project is located in the Village of Deposit, Broome and Delaware Counties, NY.

   3.  Moyer Packing Company D-96-21. A project to expand the applicant's industrial wastewater treatment plant (IWTP) average monthly capacity from 0.50 million gallons/day (mgd) to 0.705 mgd. The IWTP will continue to serve only the applicant's rendering and meat packing facilities in Franconia Township, Montgomery County, PA.

   The IWTP will continue to provide tertiary filtration after secondary biological treatment via the extended aeration activated sludge process. The IWTP will continue to discharge to Skippack Creek, approximately 1,000 feet west of the plant, which is situated just west of Allentown Road near Souder Road in Franconia Township.

   4.  Thornbury Township D-96-47 CP. A project to construct a 103,000 gallons/day (gpd) sewage treatment plant (STP) to provide advanced secondary biological treatment (via the sequencing batch reactor/activated sludge process) and tertiary filtration. Depending upon weather conditions, discharge will be to Radley Run, a tributary of Brandywine Creek, and/or to a 10-acre spray irrigation disposal field. The project will be constructed in two phases: In Phase I, the project spray irrigation disposal field will provide capacity for 77,250 gpd; Phase II will provide an additional 3.3 acres for the 103,000 gpd total capacity. The spray irrigation field will be located west of Radley Run and the STP will be located just east of Radley Run, on the proposed Bridlewood Farm residential development in Thornbury Township, Chester County, PA. All facilities are just south of Street Road and west of Route 202 in Thornbury Township.

   5.  Citizens Utilities Water Company of Pennsylvania, Amity District D-96-53 CP.

The proposed project is being built to meet the present and future wastewater needs of the East End since conveyance to Kennett Square's plant is proposed to end in the near future. The facilities are designed for construction in two phases: an initial 200,000 gpd phase and two additional 50,000 gpd phases as needed. There will be no discharge to surface water.

   7.  North Coventry Municipal Authority D-97-1 CP. A project to modify and expand the applicant's existing trickling filter STP from an average monthly flow of 0.7 mgd to 1.5 mgd. The expanded STP will provide secondary biological treatment via an oxidation ditch activated sludge process. The STP will continue to serve existing and proposed development in North Coventry Township, Chester County, PA. The STP is located in the northeastern corner of North Coventry Township and is situated on the south bank of the Schuylkill River to which it will continue to discharge, just downstream from the U. S. Route 442 bridge.
