    Draft department initiated general permit under the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003), The Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (53 P. S. §§ 4000.101--4000.1904), and residual waste management regulations for a general permit to process or beneficially use residual waste.

       Central Office:  Division of Municipal and Residual Waste, Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, 14th Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101-2301.

       General Permit No. WMGR038.  Waste tire processing and/or beneficial use. The Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Land and Recycling and Waste Management, proposes to authorize, under General Permit No. WMGR038, processing and/or beneficial use of waste tires and/or tire-derived material. This is a Statewide general permit.

       Under the terms and conditions of the general permit, persons who are approved to process and/or beneficially use waste tires and/or tire derived material will be required to meet, at a minimum, the following: compliance with The Clean Streams Law, compliance with the Solid Waste Management Act, conform with local safety and nuisance control requirements, conformance with isolation distances, maintain records and submit routine operation reports.

       The Department is authorized under the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003), and section 287.611 of the residual waste management regulations to issue general permits for any category of beneficial use or processing that results in beneficial use of residual waste on a regional or Statewide basis when the Department determines that such use does not harm or present a threat of harm to the health, safety or welfare of the public or the environment and the activity can be adequately regulated using standard conditions.

       The Department has determined the following: waste whole tires and/or tire derived material (TDM); (1) can be used as fuel for cement production, steel production, waste-to-energy incinerators, paper production, electrical power generation and other industrial operations; and (2) as feedstock for the production of crumb rubber which, in turn, may be used in such products as new tires, molded rubber products, carpets, flooring, ''astroturf'' underlay, extruded products, automotive brakes, asphalt modifier for roads and athletic surfaces, moisture retainer for turf development, railroad grade crossings and footwear; and the processing and beneficial use can be adequately regulated using general conditions.

       Tire retreading operations will, in effect, be exempt as a ''grandfathering'' exclusion, provided the storage provisions outlined in these general permit conditions are not violated.

       Persons requesting approval to operate under the terms of this general permit will be required to obtain a ''Determination of Applicability'' from the appropriate Regional Office for each site where tires and/or tire derived materials will be processed or beneficially used. The following minimum information will be required in order to obtain a Determination of Applicability.

       a.  Name and address of the applicant.

       b.  Name and location of the generator of the tires and/or tire derived material being processed or beneficially used.

       c.  Number and title of the general permit.

       d.  Proof that the proposed processing and/or beneficial use is consistent with the general permit.

       e.  A signed statement accepting all conditions of the general permit.

       f.  Proof of municipal notification.

       g.  Proof of identification of interests.

       h.  Compliance history information.

       i.  An application fee in the amount of $200.

       Comments concerning the proposed general permit should be directed to Jay E.

    Borough of Penn Lake Park, Luzerne County.

    The Department has completed its review of the Official Act 537 Sewage Facilities Plan (Plan) for Penn Lake Park Borough, dated June 29, 1994, and revised on March 24, 1995 and on August 8, 1995. The revised Plan was sent to us via Borton-Lawson Engineering's September 6, 1995 transmittal letter. The March 24, 1995 and the August 8, 1995 Plan revisions were prompted by the Department's December 8, 1994 and May 23, 1995 comment letters. The Plan was prepared by Borton-Lawson Engineering. The Department has found that the Plan is now acceptable and hereby grants planning approval.

    The Planning Area included under the Plan is the area within the corporate limits of the Borough. The Plan was written to address environmental problems, caused by failing onlot sewage systems. The Plan concluded that unsuitable soils and small lot sizes preclude the replacement and upgrade of the onlot sewage systems in accordance with the Department's regulations.

    The current status of sewage disposal systems was evaluated and alternatives for improved sewerage facilities were proposed to meet the identified sewage disposal needs for the foreseeable future. The chosen alternative consists of the installation of a centralized sewerage collection system, primarily a low-pressure system, and construction of a 50,000 gallons per day wastewater treatment facility (WWTF). The plant is sized to treat a projected summer population of 675 people in the year 2015. The proposed WWTF is a Sequential Batch Reactors System.

    The Plan also approves a Sewage Management Program to regulate the performance of existing onlot systems and to regulate construction of any new systems. The Sewage Management Program will become effective when the Plan is approved by the Department, and will continue until a centralized sewerage collection system and WWTF is built.

    The Department's review of the Plan has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from the proposals.

    In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.2(a)) (Act 537) and Chapter 71 of the Department's Regulations, 25 Pa. Code Chapter 71, the Department will hold the Borough responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the chosen alternative, as stated in Section I--Plan Summary (Page 1 of the Plan) and in Section IX--Implementation Schedule (Page 58 of the Plan).
