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).

   Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permit are invited to submit a statement to the office noted before the application within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day comment period will be considered in the formulation of the final determinations regarding this application. The comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based. A public hearing may be held if the responsible office considers the public response significant. Following the comment period, the Department's Water Management Program Manager will make a final determination regarding these applications. Notice of this final determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at which time this determination may be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.

   The renewal application, including proposed effluent limitations and special conditions, is available on file. For new permit applications, information submitted with the applications is available on file.

   PAG123543, CAFO, Marlin S. Harnish, 3421 Blue Rock Road, Lancaster, PA 17603. This proposed facility is located in Manor Township, Lancaster County.

   Description of Proposed Activity: The Marlin Harnish farm is an existing family farm with a ten head beef cattle operation, they are proposing the construction of a new 36,000 wean to finish swine operation with a total AEUs of 501.4. An estimated quantity of total annual manure production is 7,582 tons. The operation's manure storage system was designed using a specific, engineer approved, concrete structure located under the animal living spaces below the barn. Approximately 900,000 gallons of manure can be stored in the structure until it can be properly applied and 1,826,990 gallons will be applied to neighboring farms and 54.75 tons (beef manure) applied at the farm.

   The receiving stream, West Branch Little Conestoga Creek, is in the State Water Plan watershed 7J and is classified for: WWF.

   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 permit 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.

   PAG123545, CAFO, Hershey Ag, 138 Airport Road, Marietta, PA 17547-0068. The proposed facility is located in South Londonderry Township, Lebanon County.

   Description of Proposed Activity:  The Meadow Run Farm is an existing 1,800 head farrow to feeder swine operation with a total AEUs of 812.3 owned by Esbenshade Mills. This operation uses a two stage HDPE lined manure storage system with adequate storage to last greater than 6 months. The first stage, with approximately 750,000 gallons of storage, empties into the second stage with approximately 2.3 million gallons of storage capacity. The excess manure, 4,377,200 gallons, from this operation is exported to neighboring farms. The stage two manure is used on the land adjacent to the animal operation.

   The receiving stream, Little Chickies Creek, is in the State water Plan watershed 7G and is classified for: WWF.

   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 permit 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.

   PAG123541, CAFO, John M. Hess, 502 West Lincoln Avenue, Lititz, PA 17543. The proposed facility is located in Warwick Township, Lancaster County.

   Description of Proposed Activity: The John M. Hess family farm is an existing 926 head swine and 160 head steer operation with a total AEUs of 315. An estimated quantity of total annual manure production is 481,950 gallons of swine manure and 823 ton of steer manure. The farrow to wean barn has a shallow 18-inch deep pit below that is drained every 3 weeks into a storage lagoon. The finishing barn has a 6 foot pit below it with an overflow at 4 feet that drains into the lagoon. All of the swine manure is treated with a product called ''Waste-X.'' The steer manure is handled as a bedded pack. All the manure produced in this operation is land applied on the farm.

   The receiving stream, Lititz Run Creek, is in the State water Plan watershed 7-J and is classified for: WWF.

   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 permit 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.
