   Description of Proposed Activity: The Ehrisman Farm is an existing swine and beef operation with a total AEUs of 440.6 with only 32 AEUs being beef. They are proposing to construct a new 2,200 head wean to finish swine operation on this farm. The estimated annual manure production is 5,328.5 tons. The farm's manure storage system consists of an engineer designed concrete manure storage facility located under the swine barn. Scott Ehrisman is also proposing to convert the operation (except 4.16 acres) into pasture ground for beef cattle. Beef cattle will be on pasture most of the time with collected manure being applied to pasture ground. Additional swine manure will be applied to the pasture at a conservative rate to help promote strong grass growth. All additional manure will be exported to neighboring farms to be used on agricultural crops.

   The receiving stream, Cocolamus Creek, is in the State Water Plan watershed 12-B and is classified for: TSF.

   The proposed effluent limits for the operation/activity include: Except for the chronic or catastrophic rainfall events defined as over the 25 year/24 hour rain storms, the CAFO general permits is a nondischarge NPDES permit. Where applicable, compliance with 40 CFR Federal effluent limitation guidelines is required. The general permit requires no other numeric effluent limitations and compliance with Pennsylvania Nutrient Management Act and The Clean Stream Law constitutes compliance with the State narrative water quality standards.
