Walnutport, PA 18088Northampton Plan Description: The approved plan provides for a small flow treatment facility for an existing single-family residence (400 GPD) on a 15,000 square foot lot, which exhibits unsuitable soils for the use of a conventional on-lot sewage disposal system. The discharge will be to an unnamed tributary of Bertsch Creek. The proposed development is located on West Mountain Drive, Lehigh Township, Northampton County. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.

The Department has found that the Plan Update is acceptable and granted planning approval on December 4, 2001. The Plan Update provides for the construction of a public sanitary sewer system/low pressure sewers and a 15,000 gallons per day sewage treatment plant. The plant discharge is to Silver Lake Creek, a tributary of Silver Creek.

Cowansville, PA 16218Armstrong Plan Description: The approved plan provides for a privately owned wastewater treatment plant to replace an existing malfunctioning on-lot sewage disposal system. The new wastewater treatment plant shall be owned and operated by 268 Center, Inc., Mechling-Shakley Veteran's Center, R. D. 1, Box 290, Cowansville, PA 16218-9530. Discharge of treated effluent water shall be to an unnamed tributary to Patterson Creek, a High Quality, trout stocked fishery. Patterson Creek flows into Buffalo Creek, a High Quality, trout stocked fishery. The approximate location of the discharge is latitude 40.92221°, longitude 79.61656°. The discharge of treated sewage effluent to a designated High Quality stream is justified due to the repair of an existing sewage malfunction. A socio-economic justification has been provided for the proposed increase in sewage flows. Discharge shall be on property adjoining the Veteran's Center on the southwest side of State Route 268, Sugarcreek Township, Armstrong County. The use of the wastewater treatment plant was the best alternative due to onsite soil conditions. Daily flows of up to 8,000 gallons are anticipated for the Veteran's Center, thus requiring a package plant system. No municipal sewage service is available. The Department's review of the sewage facilities planning module component revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the owner, 268 Center, Inc., Mechling-Shakley Veteran's Center.
