Approval of Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plans for:
* E. I. duPont de Nemours & Co., Inc., North Towanda Township, Bradford County.
* Coastal Aluminum Rolling Mills, Inc., City of Williamsport, Lycoming County
The Department of Environmental Protection has made a preliminary determination to approve Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) plans and amendments to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the above listed facilities.
The proposed SIP revisions do not adopt any new regulations. They incorporate the provisions and requirements contained in the RACT approvals for the facilities to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determinations, if finally approved, will be incorporated into operating permits for the facilities and will be submitted to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as revisions to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan.
E. I. duPont de Nemours & Co., Inc.
E. I. duPont operates a specialty film coating facility. The main sources for which a RACT determination is being made are a number of coating solution preparation and solvent cleanup areas. The following is a summary of the preliminary volatile organic compound (VOC) RACT determinations for these sources:
Source VOC RACT Control
* chemical products blending and repackaging operation (chemistry area). * pollution prevention program (implementation of process changes to decrease VOC emissions). * solution preparation/solvent cleanup areas B-4 and B-5. * pollution prevention program (replacement of existing solutions and solvents with materials having a lower VOC emission potential). * solvent cleanup area B-9. * pollution prevention program (replacement of existing solvents with materials having a lower VOC emission potential). * Building 10 and 17 solution preparation/solvent cleanup areas and methylene chloride/methanol solvent recovery system. * carbon adsorption system. * solvent cleanup area B-44. * use of N-methylpyrrolidone and water for cleanup * solution preparation/solvent cleanup area B-56 * regenerative thermal oxidizer. * solution preparation/solvent cleanup area B-62. * regenerative thermal oxidizer.

The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection. A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District mining office indicated above each application. Where a 401 water quality certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for such certification.
Written comments or objections, or requests for informal conferences on applications, may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the same address within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa.

This Update was returned as it was incomplete and to give New Milford Township additional time to reach an agreement with both New Milford Borough and with New Milford Municipal Authority to provide sanitary sewer service within the Township. The Department has found that the Update is now acceptable and hereby grants planning approval.
The Planning Area included under the Update is:
* The entire Borough of New Milford, and
* The following portions of New Milford Township:
--Properties adjoining Route 11 North of New Milford Borough up to and including Township Road 698,
--Properties adjoining Route 1018 from Route 11 up to and including the Blue Ridge High School,
--Properties adjoining Route 11 southwest of New Milford Borough up to and including the Summit Inn,
--Properties adjoining Route 492 east of New Milford Borough from the Borough line to and including Lakeside Village, and
--Properties surrounding Page Lake on private roads of the Lakeside Outing Club, excepting those properties in Jackson Township.
The Update was written to address the continuing problems faced by both the Borough and the Township due to repeated malfunctions of the onlot sewage disposal systems. In addition, the Update proposes the elimination of the wastewater treatment plant that serves the Blue Ridge High School.
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, and construction of a 250,000 gallons per day wastewater treatment facility (WWTF). These systems may subsequently be owned by the New Milford Municipal Authority. For New Milford Borough, the sewer system will be either low pressure or vacuum. For New Milford Township, the sewer system will be low pressure. Sewage from both Page Lake and Lakeside Village and the Blue Ridge High School will be conveyed through force mains to the Borough. The WWTF is sized to treat 851 EDUs initially and 916 EDUs ultimately. Initially, 489 EDUs from New Milford Borough and 362 EDUs from New Milford Township will be connected to the system. The proposed WWTF is a Sequential Batch Reactors System. The proposed plant discharge will enter Martins Creek.
The Department's review of the Update 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 both the Borough and the Township responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the chosen alternative, as stated in the EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Page iii of the Update); in Section VII Alternative Selection (Page 63 of the Update); and in Section IX Plan Summary, where a Schedule of Implementation is presented (Pages 66 through 69 of the Update).
Location: Tobyhanna Township, Monroe County.
Project Description: The Department received the latest Sewage Facilities Plan Revision titled ''Tobyhanna Township Act 537 Revision, October 1995'' on December 4, 1995 and additional documents on January 9, 1996, as prepared by Michael J. Pasonick, Jr., Inc. The Department's review of the plan has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from the proposal and we hereby grant planning approval for the project.
The plan proposes the following:
1. Construction of a 0.300 mgd advanced wastewater sewage treatment plant to serve 560 EDUs initially and 1,000 EDUs ultimately from the Blakeslee Village, Greenwood Acres, and Camelot Forest areas of the Tobyhanna Township. The plant will be constructed along State Route 115, and the treated effluent will be discharged into Tobyhanna Creek.
2. Installation of a sewage collection and conveyance system consisting of gravity sewer, low pressure sewer and grinder pumps, laterals, three pumping stations, and force main to collect and convey sewage from the stated service areas to the treatment plant site.
In accordance with the provisions of the Sewage Facilities Act (Act 537), 35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20(a) and Chapter 71 of the Department's Regulations, 25 Pa. Code Chapter 71, the Department will hold Tobyhanna Township responsible for implementing the project in accordance with the schedule contained in the plan.
