SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT PLAN APPROVAL


Plan Approvals Granted Under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P.S. § 750.5).

Southcentral Region: Water Management Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110.

Plan Location:

Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County
Hamilton Township 272 Mummert's Church Road
Abbottstown, PA 17301
Adams

Plan Description: Approval is granted for a Special Study to the Official Plan of Hamilton Township in Adams County. The project is known as the Act 537 Special Study—Change in Treatment Facility (DEP Code No. C1-01917-ACT). The plan provides for the transfer of the Hamilton Township sanitary sewer system to the New Oxford Municipal Authority (NOMA). All sewage flow from Hamilton Township will be directed to the NOMA Wastewater Treatment Facility. The present connection with Berwick Township will be eliminated, and an interconnection with NOMA will be constructed. All intermunicipal agreements are in place, and there is sufficient capacity within the existing pump station and sewage treatment facility. No projected overloads are anticipated. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority, as appropriate.

SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT PLAN DISAPPROVAL


Plan Disapprovals Granted Under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act.

Southcentral Region: Water Management Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, Telephone: 717-705-4707.

Plan Location:

Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County
Washington Township 120 Barto Rd.
Barto, PA 19504
Berks

Plan Description: The sewage planning exemption request submitted for the Rosalie Fronheiser Subdivision, DEP Code No. A3-06971-140-3E, APS Id 954333, is disapproved. The purpose of this plan is to create one new single family residential building lot to use Washington Township's sewers and wastewater treatment plant. The proposed residual tract has an existing dwelling served by the public sewerage system. The project is located along Route 100 at the junction with Passmore Road. The project does not qualify for the use of a planning exemption because sewage flows from the proposed residence would be tributary to the Weinsteiger Road pumping station, a facility that is under a corrective action plan for hydraulic overload. Reference Chapter 71 § 71.51(b)(2)(ii). Therefore, the proposal must be submitted using the Component 3 sewage planning module forms.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION

UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 2


The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).

 Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P.S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, will also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation; concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of reuse of the property; and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.

 For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office.
