The submission was sent to us on behalf of the Deer Lake Municipal Authority (DLMA), the Auburn Municipal Authority, the Borough of Deer Lake and the Borough of Auburn, all of Schuylkill County. The submissions propose a plan to identify and reduce/eliminate sources of infiltration/inflow within the DLMA's Wastewater Collection System and to upgrade the DLMA's Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) for improved wastewater treatment. The CAP/CP&S's goal is to eliminate the hydraulic overload at the WWTP and to bring the facility into compliance with its NPDES permit. The Department's review of the CAP/CP&S has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from the project. Any required NPDES permits or WQM permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.
