   PA0088561, Evergreen Farms Inc., HCR-1, Box 113, Spruce Creek, PA 16683.

   R. Wayne Harpster has submitted an application for an NPDES permit for an existing concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) known as Evergreen Farms, Inc., located on PA Route 45 in Franklin Township, Huntingdon County. The CAFO is situated in the Spruce Creek watershed, which is classified as High Quality Waters--Cold Water Fishes (HQ-CWF). The CAFO is designed to maintain an animal population of 3,744 animal equivalent units (AEUs), consisting of 1,810 milking cows, 296 small heifers, 682 large heifers, 353 dry cows and 550 calves.

   Manure and wastewater generated at the existing dairy operation is stored at several locations. The Peterson Farm front pit receives manure and wastewater from the heifer and dry cow barn and has a storage capacity of 131,280 gallons. The Peterson Farm back pit receives manure and wastewater from the heifer and dry cow barn and the concrete feeding and loafing area and has a capacity of 606,890 gallons. The main dairy solids separator receives manure and bedding from the main facility after passing through two manure separators and has a capacity of 88,460 gallons. The main dairy lagoon receives manure wash water from the main dairy and solids separator and has a capacity of 2,079,784 gallons. The effluent basin on the hill receives wash water from the main dairy and solids separator and has a capacity of 4,690,930 gallons. The total storage capacity of the operation is approximately 7.6 million gallons. A release or discharge to waters of the Commonwealth under normal operating conditions is not expected. Normal operating conditions are defined as conditions below a 25-year, 24-hour storm event.

   The Department has conducted administrative and technical reviews of the application. Based on the preliminary review and application of lawful standards and regulations including the Final CAFO Strategy, the Department has made a tentative determination to issue an individual NPDES permit for the operation subject to the terms and conditions and monitoring and reporting requirements specified in the draft permit.

   The permit application and proposed draft permit are on file at the Southcentral Regional Office of the Department. Individuals may make an appointment to review the files by calling. Mary DiSanto, File Review Coordinator, at (717) 705-4732.

   The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) permit review waiver provision under 40 CFR 123.24(e) does not apply to this NPDES permit.

   Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permit are invited to submit written comments to the previous address within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day period will be considered in formulating the Department's final determination regarding the application. All comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the basis of the comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based. A public meeting/hearing may be held if the Department considers the public response or interest significant.

   Following the 30-day comment period, the Water Management Program Manager will make a final determination regarding the proposed permit. Notice of this determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at which time the determination may be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.

   The CAFO is situated near Conowingo Creek in Watershed 7-K, which is classified for HQ-CWF. The CAFO will be designed to maintain an animal population of approximately 1,210 animal equivalent units (AEUs) consisting of 1,259 dairy cows. Manure will be stored in a HDPE lined lagoon. The total capacity of the manure storage facilities will be 4.5 million gallons. Prior to operation of the manure storage facilities, the design engineer will be required to submit certification that the facilities were constructed in accordance with appropriate PA Technical Guide Standards. A release or discharge to waters of the Commonwealth under normal operating conditions is not expected. Normal operating conditions are defined as conditions below a 25-year, 24-hour storm event.

   The Department has conducted administrative and technical reviews of the application.
