SPECIAL NOTICES

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)

Conewago Creek

   The Department of Environmental Protection is holding a public meeting on Tuesday, February 24, 1998, beginning at 7 p.m. at the Londonderry Township Municipal Building, 783 S. Geyer Church Road, Middletown to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL, established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Conewago Creek (Stream Code 9243) was listed on Pennsylvania's 1996 Section 303(d) List because water quality standards for dissolved oxygen, and ammonia nitrogen to support the designated uses of trout stocking are not expected to be met even after technology-based controls required by law are installed. This TMDL establishes the following allowable pollutant loading for the unnamed tributary to the Conewago Creek from its headwaters to its confluence with the main stem Conewago Creek, in Londonderry Township, Dauphin County:

TMDL =WLA +LA +MOS
Pollutant(Total(Wasteload(Nonpoint(Margin of
MaximumAllocationSourceSafety)
Daily Load)--by source)Allocation)
Ammonia Nitrogen1.52 lbs/day1.46 lbs/day0 lb/day0.06 lb/day

   Point Source Discharges Affected

   Department of Environmental Protection has determined that Cedar Manor Mobile Home Park NPDES Permit Number PA0080721 is the only significant contributor of ammonia nitrogen to the unnamed tributary under critical conditions (the 7 day--10 year low flow). Nonpoint source contributions for ammonia nitrogen is negligible at critical low flow conditions.

   The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Roger Musselman, Water Management Program, PA DEP Southcentral Region, One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110, (717) 541-7996. Persons with a disability may use the AT&T Relay Service by calling 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or 1 (800) 654-5988 (voice users).

   Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked by March 2, 1998. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting, should notify DEP no later than 4 p.m. on February 20, 1998. The Department of Environmental Protection will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

Brush Creek Basin

   The Department of Environmental Protection is holding a public meeting on February 25, 1998 beginning at 1 p.m. at the Meadville Regional Office of the Department of Environmental Protection. Brush Creek was listed on Pennsylvania's 1996 Section 303(d) List because water quality standards for CBOD and Dissolved Oxygen needed to support the designated use of the warm water fishery are not expected to be met even after technology-based controls required by law are installed. This TMDL establishes the following allowable pollutant loadings for Brush Creek from the Municipal Sewer and Water Authority of Cranberry Township discharge downstream for 5.5 miles. Brush Creek is a tributary to Connoquenessing Creek in Cranberry Township, Butler County:

TMDL =WLA +LA +MOS
Pollutant(Total(Wasteload(Load(Margin of
MaximumAllocationAllocation)Safety)
Daily Load)--by source)
CBOD512.3375.37.64131.4
Dissolved Oxygen190.9187.703.2

   DEP has determined that the Municipal Sewer and Water Authority of Cranberry Township is the only significant contributor of these pollutants to the affected segment in Brush Creek under critical conditions. Nonpoint source contributions for the D. O. goal violation are negligible at critical low flow conditions.

   The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Patrick G. Williams, P. E., Chief, Permits Section, PA DEP Northwest Field Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, (814) 332-6942. Persons with a disability may use the AT&T Relay Service by calling 1(800) 654-5984 (TDD) or 1 (800) 654-5988 (voice users).

   Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked by March 2, 1998. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting, should notify DEP no later than 4 p.m. on February 20, 1998. Department of Environmental Protection will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

French Creek Basin

   The Department of Environmental Protection is holding a public meeting on February 25, 1998 beginning at 10 a.m. at the Meadville Regional Office of the Department of Environmental Protection. French Creek was listed on Pennsylvania's 1996 Section 303(d) List because water quality standards for ammonia nitrogen and phosphorus needed to support the designated use of the warm water fishery are not expected to be met even after technology-based controls required by law are installed. This TMDL establishes the following allowable pollutant loadings for French Creek from the City of Meadville downstream for 3.5 miles, a tributary to the Allegheny River, in West Mead and Vernon Townships, Crawford County:

TMDL =WLA +LA +MOS
Pollutant(Total(Wasteload(Load(Margin of
MaximumAllocationAllocation)Safety)
Daily Load)--by source)
NH3-N663.857867.818
Phosphorus162.4121.740.7*

   * MOS is implicit in determination of water quality criteria, but is unquantifiable.

   DEP has determined that Meadville Area Sewer Authority, NPDES PA0026271 is the only significant contributor of these pollutants to the affected segment in French Creek under critical conditions.

   The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Patrick G. Williams, P. E., Chief, Permits Section, PA DEP Northwest Field Office, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, (814) 332-6942. Persons with a disability may use the AT&T Relay Service by calling 1 (800) 654-5984 (TDD) or 1 (800) 654-5988 (voice users).

   Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked by March 2, 1998. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting, should notify DEP no later than 4 p.m. on February 20, 1998. Department of Environmental Protection will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
