 Northeast Region: Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790

PA0026492A-1, Sewage, SIC Code 4952, Scranton Sewer Authority, 312 Adams Avenue, Scranton, PA 18503-1501. Facility Name: Scranton Sewer Authority Treatment Plant. This existing facility is located in the City of Scranton, Lackawanna County.

 Description of Existing Activity: The Department is proposing to amend the Scranton Sewer Authority's NPDES Permit for the discharge of treated sewage to the Lackawanna River. The effluent limits are based upon a design discharge rate of 20 MGD. The current permit was issued on September 21, 2009, became effective on October 21, 2009, and expires on September 30, 2014. The purpose of the amendment is to revise the final Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) effluent limitations contained in the permit based upon a Site Specific Chlorine Demand Study (Study) and in accordance with the stipulation of settlement entered into on March 2, 2011 in the matter of Scranton Sewer Authority v. DEP, EHB Docket No. 2010-043-M. Based upon the Study, the TRC effluent limitations will be revised to 0.37 mg/l monthly average and 1.35 mg/l instantaneous maximum effective upon issuance. The proposed permit amendment has been drafted using an updated permit template that reflects the Chapter 92a Regulations that became effective on October 9, 2010. The Discharge Monitoring Report and Supplemental forms have also been updated. There are no other substantive changes to the permit.

 The receiving stream, Lackawanna River, is located in State Water Plan Basin 5A and is classified for Cold Water Fishes, aquatic life, water supply and recreation. The discharge is not expected to affect public water supplies.

 The EPA waiver is not in effect.

 You may make an appointment to review the DEP files on this case by calling the File Review Coordinator at 570-826-5472.

PA0053147-A1, Sewage, SIC Code 4952, Upper Saucon Sewage Treatment Authority, 5500 Camp Meeting Road, Center Valley, PA 18034-9444. Facility Name: Upper Saucon Township Wastewater Treatment Plant. This existing facility is located in Upper Saucon Township, Lehigh County.

 Description of Activity: The Department is proposing to amend an NPDES permit for an existing discharge of treated sewage to Saucon Creek, in Watershed 2-C.

 Under 25 Pa. Code § 16.24, the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) proposes to amend the permit by incorporating the results of a Water-Effect Ratio (WER) study into the calculation of the water quality based effluent limits for copper. The WER is a biological determination of a site-specific aquatic life criterion, determined by conducting toxicity testing on sensitive aquatic species using site or simulated site water and comparing it to testing performed using lab dilution water. The WER procedure recognizes that the physical and chemical characteristics of site water can influence the toxicity of a chemical on aquatic life. A Toxics Reduction Evaluation (TRE) dated March 2010, including a Water-Effect Ratio analysis, was submitted by the permittee in accordance with the permit conditions. A TRE Addendum dated September 15, 2010 was submitted by the permittee and the WER study was approved by the Department and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on November 4, 2010 as the basis for establishing site-specific criteria for copper.

 Alternate site-specific criteria for copper have been developed by multiplying the fish and aquatic life copper criteria contained in Chapter 93, § 93.8c Table 5, by a WER of 2.53. As a result of the site-specific criteria, the copper effluent limitations are being removed from the permit and replaced with a ''report'' requirement. This change will affect the copper limits of the permittee's discharge only.

 In addition, the amended permit includes the following revisions to the major special conditions:

 1. Removal of the copper TRE condition since this requirement has been satisfied.

 2. Continuation of WET testing on a semi-annual rather than quarterly basis, based upon favorable recent test results.

 You may make an appointment to review the DEP files on this case by calling the File Review Coordinator at 570-826-5472.

 The EPA Waiver is not in effect.

 Description of Existing Activity: The application is for a renewal of an NPDES permit for an existing discharge of treated Sewage.

 The receiving stream(s), Susquehanna River, is located in State Water Plan watershed 7-E and is classified for Warm Water Fishes, Migratory Fishes, aquatic life, water supply and recreation. The discharge is not expected to affect public water supplies.

 The proposed effluent limits for Outfall 001 are based on a design flow of 0.5 MGD.
