NPDES APPLICATIONS

PART I PERMITS

   Under the Federal Clean Water Act and The Clean Streams Law, the following parties have applied for an NPDES permit or to renew their current permit to discharge controlled wastewaters into the waters of this Commonwealth or to conduct other activities required by the NPDES permit. For renewal applications listed in Section I, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a tentative determination to reissue these permits for 5 years subject to effluent limitations and monitoring and reporting requirements in their current permits, with appropriate and necessary updated requirements to reflect new and changed regulations and other requirements. For all new permit applications, renewal application with major changes or applications for permits not waived by the EPA, the Department, based upon preliminary reviews, also made a tentative determination of proposed effluent limitations and other terms and conditions for the permit applications listed in Section II. These determinations are published as proposed actions for comments prior to taking final actions.

   Unless indicated otherwise, the EPA Region III Administrator has waived the right to review or object to this proposed permit action under the waiver provision 40 CFR 123.24(d).

White Oak Mills, Inc. has submitted an application for an Individual NPDES permit for an existing CAFO known as Blue Mountain Finishing Farm, 10391 Otterbein Church Road, Lurgan Township, Franklin County.

   The CAFO is situated near an unnamed tributary of Clippingers Run in Watershed 7-B, which is classified for WWF. The CAFO is designed to maintain an animal population of approximately 554 AEUs consisting of 4,600 finishing swine. The animals are housed in four swine barns. Manure drains into a two-stage HDPE-lined manure storage facility. The total capacity of the manure storage facilities is 4.11 million gallons for the first stage and 3.79 million gallons for the second stage.

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

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