SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT PLAN APPROVAL


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

   Northcentral Regional Office, Water Management Program Manager, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448, (717) 327-0530.

   Location: The project is located in the Village of Mainesburg in Sullivan Township, Tioga County.

   Project Description: This is an approval of an official sewage facilities plan update with dual options. One approved option is to sewer the whole Village of Mainesburg with effluent sewers and a new 25,000 gpd sewage treatment plant that will serve 85 dwellings. The second approval is for a phased sewering of the village starting with 60 dwellings and sewering the rest in a second phase. The new sewage treatment plant will discharge to Corey Creek.

   The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

   Location: This project is located in Decatur Township, Clearfield County; primarily the developed areas in the eastern half of the Township.

   Project Description: This is an approval of an official sewage facilities plan update. The two phased project involves the extension of sewers from an existing sewage treatment plant and a new proposed sewage treatment plant to serve existing development. The first phase is extending the sewers from the existing Moshannon Valley Sewage Treatment Plant with gravity sewer lines, two new pump stations and pressure lines to serve 365 existing dwellings. A second phase will be to extend sewers from the proposed Osceola Sewage Treatment Plant to serve 256 existing dwellings with gravity and pressure sewers.

   The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

   Northeast Regional Office, Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0970, (717) 826-2553.

   Location: Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation, 1.5 miles east of Route 183 on Blue Mountain Road in Wayne Township, Schuylkill County, PA.

   Project Description: This proposal involves the construction of a wastewater collection and treatment system to serve the Hawk Mountain Scout Reservation. The projected sewage flow is 36,000 gallons per day. The design flow has been calculated based on total camp capacity and sewage flows for nonresidential establishments from 25 Pa. Code § 73.17. The wastewater treatment plant will be located at the northwest corner of the reservation to the west of Lake Nalaheman Dam. This area of the camp consists of approximately 25 acres of wooded land. Roughly three acres will be designated for this project. The treated effluent will be discharged to the Lower Little Swatara Creek below Lake Nalaheman. This creek is identified in 25 Pa Code Chapter 93 as being a Cold Water Fishery (CWF) in the Susquehanna River Drainage Basin. This treatment facility is being constructed to replace existing onlot disposal systems which are no longer adequate and address the long term sewage disposal needs of the Scout Reservation. Water supply will be provided by onsite wells.
