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 new permit applications, renewal applications 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).

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.

   PA0247120, CAFO, Theodore Espenshade (Shady Brae Farms), 29 Engle Road, Marietta, PA 17547. Theodore Esbenshade has submitted an application for an individual NPDES permit for an existing CAFO known as Shady Brae Farms, Inc., 29 Engle Road, Conoy Township, Lancaster County.

   The CAFO is situated near an unnamed tributary to the Susquehanna River in Watershed 7-G (WWF). The CAFO is designed to maintain an animal population of approximately 1,924 AEUs consisting of 575,000 laying hens. The animals will be housed in six laying barns. Manure is deposited and stored on the ground level beneath the layers. A release or discharge to waters of this 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, 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.

Comments received within this 30-day period will be considered in formulating the Department's final determination regarding the application. 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.

   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 EPA permit waiver provision under 40 CFR 123.24(e) does not apply to this NPDES permit.

All manure is typically land applied on the Jim Mack farm acreage (owner of the property), with some occasionally exported to a neighboring farm. On animals onsite include sows with litter, nursery pigs and boars. Total AEUs is 362.9.

   The receiving stream, unnamed tributary to South Branch Roaring Creek, is in the State Water Plan watershed 6B and is classified for HQ-CWF.
