SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT
PLAN APPROVAL
Plan approval granted under The Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20)

Tamaque Borough Act 537 Sewage Facilities Plan Revision (Owl Creek Road)
Project is located: Tamaqua Borough, Schuylkill County.
Project Description: The Plan Revision addresses sewage facilities needs of the Owl Creek Road area of Tamaqua Borough from Route 309 east to the Schuylkill County-Carbon County border through the year 2015 and states that public collection and treatment facilities are required to meet the projected needs of the planning area. Major recommendations of the Plan Revision include extending public sanitary sewers along Owl Creek Road to eliminate existing failing onlot septic systems and wildcat sewers and construction of a pumping station at the base of Owl Creek Road to convey sewerage from Owl Creek Road to the Tamaqua Wastewater Treatment Plant. The planning area of Owl Creek Road consists of approximately 90 homes and generates a wastewater flow of 22,500 gpd based on 250 gpd per equivalent dwelling unit. The Department's review of the Sewage Facilities Update Revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. The Borough intends to pursue financing for the sewage facilities project through the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority. User fees as outlined in the Plan Revision are estimated at approximately $220 per year.
