PLAN APPROVAL The Department of Environmental Protection has taken the following actions on previously received permit applications and requests for plan approval and has issued the following significant orders.
Any person aggrieved by this action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514), and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, 400 Market Street Floor 2, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483.

Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audio tape from the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
Plan Approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).
Northeast Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, telephone (717) 826-2553.
City of Pottsville, Borough of Port Carbon, Borough of Palo Alto, Schuylkill County.
The Department has received the following submissions, as submitted by Alfred Benesch and Company on behalf of the Greater Pottsville Area Sewer Authority (Authority), the City of Pottsville, and the Boroughs of Port Carbon and Palo Alto:
--Correspondence, dated October 27, 1994, from Alfred Benesch and Company, transmitting the following items to the Department:
--Corrective Plan and Schedule for the Authority's Main Wastewater Treatment Facility, Revised and Dated October 27, 1993
--Corrective Plan and Schedule for the Authority's West End Wastewater Treatment Facility, Revised February 1, 1994
--Resolution No. 1994-2, Adopted September 12, 1994, by the Council of the Borough of Palo Alto
--Resolution No. 3 of 1994, Adopted July 1994 by the Council of the Borough of Port Carbon
--Resolution No. 145, Adopted July 18, 1994 by the Council of the City of Pottsville
All of the previously-referenced submissions proposed a revision of the Authority's existing Corrective Plan and Schedule (CP&S) for its Main and West End Wastewater Treatment Facilities. The existing CP&S documents will be replaced by the revised CP&S documents, previously listed in this correspondence, for both the Main and West End Wastewater Treatment Facilities. The revised CP&S documents set forth systematic plans to reduce and eliminate the hydraulic and organic overload conditions which currently exist in the authority's wastewater collection, conveyance and treatment facilities. The CP&S documents also contain time schedules for the implementation of the activities listed in each CP&S.
A substantial period of time has elapsed since the CP&S documents were submitted to the Department. Since the Department was unable to act on each CP&S in a timely manner, the schedules, in the CP&S documents for both the Main and West End Wastewater Treatment Facilities are quickly becoming outdated. The Department still considers the activities listed in the CP&S documents valid. However, the Department will expect a completely updated CP&S for both the Main and West End Wastewater Treatment Facilities to be included in the Official Sewage Facilities Plan Update Revision currently being prepared by Alfred Benesch and Company on behalf of the municipalities and the Authority.
With this in mind, the Department hereby approves both CP&S document submissions. These documents are now to be considered an integral part of each municipality's Official Sewage Facilities Plan.
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 the municipalities and the Greater Pottsville Area Sewer Authority responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the activities listed in the CP&S documents previously described. Noncompliance with any of the provisions of the approved CP&S documents may result in Departmental action against each municipality and/or the Greater Pottsville Area Sewer Authority.
Additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside those explicitly described in the CP&S documents must be in compliance with the Department's Regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.

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