 This proposed facility is located in White Deer Township, Union County.

 Description of Proposed Activity: The Showers Farm CAFO is an existing beef cattle and horse operation adding a finishing swine operation, totaling 384.44 AEUs. The farm consists of 139 acres which includes approximately 23 acres of pasture land, approximately 87 acres of cropland and the balance in farmstead and woods. The hogs will produce 900,000 gallons of liquid manure per year. All hog manure will be collected in an 809,000 gallon underbarn storage. Beef cattle and horse manure is collected during part of the year as a solid. All manure is land-applied in accordance with the farm's Nutrient Management Plan during the Spring, Summer and Fall. Up to 625,000 gallons of manure may be exported offsite.

 The receiving stream, UNT of White Deer Creek, is in the State Water Plan watershed 10C (White Deer Creek) and is classified for: HQ-CWF.

 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 permit is a non-discharge NPDES permit. Where applicable, compliance with 40 CFR federal effluent limitation guidelines is required. The permit requires no other numeric effluent limitations and compliance with the Pennsylvania Nutrient Management Act and the Clean Stream Law constitutes compliance with the state narrative water quality standards.

 In addition to the effluent limits, the permit contains the following major special conditions.

 1. Compliance with the farm's Nutrient Management Plan

 2. Compliance with the farm's Preparedness, Prevention and Contingency Plan

 3. Compliance with the Farm's Erosion & Sedimentation Control Plan for plowing and tilling

 4. Erosion & Sedimentation Control Plan requirements for stormwater during construction activities

 5. Animal mortality handling and disposing requirements

 9. Stockpiling—Manure that is stockpiled for 15 consecutive days or longer shall be under cover or otherwise stored to prevent discharge to surface water during a storm event up to and including the appropriate design storm for that type of operation under § 91.36(a)(1) and (5) (relating to pollution control and prevention at agricultural operations).

 10. Freeboard—(CORRECTION) The permittee shall maintain a minimum of 6 inches of freeboard at the liquid manure storage structures at all times. This minimum of 6 inches of freeboard is corrected from the 2 feet of freeboard previously stated in the Pennsylvania Bulletin application notice published on 10/22/2011.

 11. Manure Exportation Report—If the permittee exports manure, then the permittee shall complete the Manure Exportation Report form and submitted it to the Department with the CAFO Quarterly Self-Inspection Report.

 12. Winter Spreading—The permittee shall not spread manure during the Winter, as defined in 25 Pa. Code § 83.201, unless otherwise authorized in the permittee's Nutrient Management Plan, or unless the permittee has fully complied with 25 Pa. Code § 83.372, and has obtained a plan amendment due to unforeseen circumstances. Winter is defined as, ''December 15 to February 28, or any time the ground is frozen at least 4 inches deep or is snow covered.'' If winter spreading is approved in the NMP all setbacks must be followed: There shall be no winter application within, 1) 100 ft. of an above ground agricultural drain inlet where surface flow is toward the inlet, 2) 100 foot of a wetland on the NWI map which is within the 100 year floodplain of an EV stream segment if surface flow is toward the wetland and 3) fields must have 25% cover or an established cover crop—see § 83.294.

 Sections 302—305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.302—6026.305) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of Notices of Intent to Remediate. An acknowledgment of the receipt of a Notice of Intent to Remediate is used to identify a site where a person proposes to, or has been required to, respond to a release of a regulated substance at a site. A person intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard or intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area shall file a Notice of Intent to Remediate with the Department. A Notice of Intent to Remediate filed with the Department provides a brief description of the location of the site, a list of known or suspected contaminants at the site, the proposed remediation measures for the site and a description of the intended future use of the site. A person who demonstrates attainment of one or a combination of cleanup standards or receives approval of a special industrial area remediation identified under the act will be relieved of further liability for the remediation of the site for contamination identified in reports submitted to and approved by the Department. Furthermore, the person shall not be subject to citizen suits or other contribution actions brought by responsible persons not participating in the remediation.

 Under sections 304(n)(1)(ii) and 305(c)(2) of the act, there is a 30-day public and municipal comment period for sites proposed for remediation using a site-specific standard, in whole or in part, and for sites remediated as a special industrial area. This period begins when a summary of the Notice of Intent to Remediate is published in a newspaper of general circulation in the area of the site. For the following site, proposed for remediation to a site-specific standard or as a special industrial area, the municipality, within which the site is located, may request to be involved in the development of the remediation and reuse plans for the site if the request is made within 30 days of the date specified as follows. During this comment period, the municipality may request that the person identified as the remediator of the site develop and implement a public involvement plan. Requests to be involved and comments should be directed to the remediator of the site.

 For further information concerning the content of a Notice of Intent to Remediate, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office listed before the notice. If information concerning this acknowledgment is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office.
