ENVIRONMENTAL HEARING BOARDIn the Matter Of: EHB Docket No. P. H. Glatfelter Company : Industrial Waste 228 South Main Street : Clean Streams Law Spring Grove, PA 17362 : NPDES Permit No. PA 0008869 PROPOSED CONSENT ADJUDICATION AND
CONSENT ORDER AND AGREEMENTCONSENT ADJUDICATION Now, this ____ day of ______ , ____ , it appearing to the Environmental Hearing Board that:
1. The parties to this Consent Adjudication and Consent Order and Agreement are the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (''Department''), and P.H. Glatfelter Co. (''PHG'') its successors and assigns. As of the date of its entry by the Board, this Consent Adjudication and Consent Order and Agreement supersedes and replaces the Amended Consent Adjudication entered by the Board on May 16, 1989 at Docket # 71-012, but without prejudice to those claims reserved to PHG in paragraph 5a hereof.
2. The parties consent to the following findings of fact and entry of this document without the taking of further testimony.
3. The settlement of this matter is in the public interest, and the entry of this document without further litigation is the most appropriate means of resolving this matter; and
4. The Environmental Hearing Board (''Board'') has jurisdiction over this matter.
Findings The Environmental Hearing Board hereby finds:
A. The Department is the agency with the duty and authority to administer and enforce The Clean Streams Law, Act of June 22, 1937, P. L. 1987, as amended, 35 P. S. § 691.1 et seq. (''Clean Streams Law''); Section 1917-A of the Administrative Code of 1929, the Act of April 9, 1929, P. L. 177, as amended, 71 P. S. § 510-17 (''Administrative Code'') and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and with the delegated authority to administer a permit program, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (''NPDES'') under Section 402 of the Federal Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. 1342.
B. PHG is a Pennsylvania Corporation with a business address of 228 South Main Street, Spring Grove, Pennsylvania 17362.
General Background Information C. PHG is a paper manufacturer which owns and operates a pulp and paper mill (''mill'') located in Spring Grove Borough, York County, Pennsylvania. PHG specializes in the manufacture of fine-quality paper products such as stationery and text books.
D. PHG manufactures paper from both hardwood and softwood. Chips and rough logs are brought to the facility where the raw materials are processed, chemically pulped, bleached and transferred to the paper-making section of the mill.
E. The type of mill which PHO operates at the Spring Grove facility utilizes a bleached kraft process. Wood chips are cooked to remove lignin from the wood using caustic chemicals and heated water. At this stage, the pulped material is called ''brownstock''. The brownstock is washed and screened to remove spent cooking chemicals and uncooked wood. On the softwood line, the brownstock is further treated with oxygen to remove more of the lignin. The hardwood and softwood brownstocks are then bleached and sent to the paper machines.
F. This production process generates a number of waste streams which are collected and conveyed to PHG's on-site wastewater treatment plant. Treated effluent is discharged to Codorus Creek, a water of the Commonwealth (''Codorus''). This discharge point is outfall 001. PHG also has a second discharge point to the Codorus, which conveys non-contact cooling water from the mill. This discharge point is outfall 002.
G. Chapter 93 of the Department's Rules and Regulations sets forth in-stream criteria for pollutant concentrations to protect the designated uses of the waters of the Commonwealth.
H. 25 Pa. Code § 93.7 establishes specific water quality criteria for waters of the Commonwealth. 25 Pa. Code § 93.9 establishes specific instream limits for color on the Codorus Creek. The water quality criteria for that portion of the Codorus Creek into which PHG discharges is 50 platinum-cobalt color units (''pcu'') as a monthly average.
Water Pollution Control History I. On August 7, 1968 and on February 25, 1969, the Sanitary Water Board (the predecessor to the Department of Environmental Resources) modified permits issued to PHG for discharge of industrial waste to the Codorus Creek. Challenges to those actions were filed with the Sanitary Water Board and with the Environmental Hearing Board upon its inception. On September 21, 1973, the Environmental Hearing Board entered a Consent Agreement. (The 1973 Consent Agreement is attached here as Exhibit No. 1 and incorporated here by reference).
J. PHG petitioned the Department for time extensions to meet the color limits. The Department granted PHG's requests.
K. On May 22, 1984, the Department renewed NPDES Permit No. PA. 0008869.
L. On March 28, 1989, PHG requested another extension of the interim in-stream color limits for its discharge.
M. Based on PHG's request for an extension, DEP and PHG requested, and on May 16, 1989, the Environmental Hearing Board entered an amended Consent Adjudication (''1989 COA''), which amended the 1973 Consent Agreement and modified its terms. (The 1989 Consent Adjudication is attached here as Exhibit No. 2 and is incorporated here by reference).
N. The 1989 COA stated that PHG had not achieved compliance with the instream color limit of 25 Pa. Code § 93.9, List O. The 1989 COA stated that PHG had demonstrated, to the Department's satisfaction, pursuant to the 1973 Consent Agreement and 25 Pa. Code § 95.4, that, at that point in time, it was not technologically possible to achieve compliance with the color limit contained in 25 Pa. Code § 93.9, List O.
O. The 1989 COA further stated that, ''Modifications to Glatfelter's Facility sufficient to meet the TRS limitations applicable to the Facility could take several forms. Coordination of those modifications with a cooperative, long-term approach to the color issue may yield improvements to Facility's color discharge otherwise unavailable and, at the same time, may yield both collateral environmental benefits, such as reductions in total transportable odor emitted from the Facility and other improvements in the quality of the Facility's wastewater discharge, and collateral economic and employment benefits to the Commonwealth.'' (Paragraph Q of 1989 COA).
P. The 1989 COA required PHG to submit annual progress reports. Since 1989, PHG has submitted annual reports to the Department.
Q. On or about June 30, 1998, PHG submitted its annual report to the Department, as required by the 1989 Consent Adjudication.
R. In 1998, the Department, through the United States Environmental Protection Agency, retained a team of consultants on the paper and pulp industry. The Department and the consultants on the paper and pulp industry reviewed the June 30, 1998 annual report, its current technology and its plans to reduce color discharge from the mill.
Summary S. New advances in technology are available to further reduce the color in PHG's effluent.
T. On April 15, 1998, EPA promulgated effluent limitation guidelines for paper and pulp mills (''Cluster Rules''). The Cluster Rules did not include effluent limitation guidelines for color. EPA has deferred to each individual state permitting agency the setting of color limits.
U. With respect to those effluent limitation guidelines which it has set, EPA established a voluntary program, called the Voluntary Advanced Technology Incentives Program, to encourage additional pollutant reduction. Under the Cluster Rules, paper and pulp mills had one year, until April 15, 1999, in which to make a decision about enrolling in the Voluntary Advanced Technology Incentives Program. Mills interested in enrolling in the program could elect to participate in Tier I, Tier II, or Tier III, with the more advanced tiers providing a greater reduction in pollutant discharge, and a longer period of time in which to achieve that reduction.
V. On April 15, 1999, PHG notified DEP that it chose to participate in Tier I of the Voluntary Advanced Technology Incentives Program. On June 29, 1999, PHG notified the Department that it intended to install new or upgraded brownstock washing and new screening on the hardwood fiber line, install oxygen delignification on the hardwood line, and install complete substitution (100 percent) of chlorine dioxide for elemental chlorine on both hardwood and pine fiber lines. These technologies will be called the ''Case 4 technologies'' in this document.
W. On August 29, 1998 the Environmental Quality Board published proposed regulations at 25 Pa. Bul. 4431 proposing numerous amendments to the Department's water quality regulation. Among the proposed amendments was the replacement of the two existing water quality criteria for color, in Chapter 93, with a single criterion of 75 pcu applicable statewide and the establishment of a site-specific requirement of 50 pcu applicable to a segment of the Codorus Creek only. On September 18, 1999 the Department published an Advanced Notice of Final Rulemaking (ANFR) soliciting comments on changes it was recommending to the proposed regulations. The ANFR recommended, inter alia, the application of the 75 pcu water quality criterion for color to all applicable streams in the Commonwealth, including the Codorus Creek.
X. On February __ , 2000, the Department issued a draft NPDES Permit Number PA 0008869 to PHG (''the 2000 NPDES permit''). That permit requires PHG to achieve, effective immediately upon issuance of the final permit, final effluent limitations at the outfall that would meet the instream water quality standard of 50 pcu for color in the Codorus Creek. In the event that the regulations governing the water quality standard for color in the Codorus Creek, set forth in 25 Pa. Code § 93, is revised to 75 pcu, the permit requires PHG to achieve, effective immediately upon issuance of the final permit, final effluent limitations at the outfall that would meet the instream water quality standard of 75 pcu for color in the Codorus Creek.
Y. On (future date, 2000), the Department issued a final NPDES permit (''hereinafter ''2000 NPDES permit''). PHG has filed an appeal before the Environmental Hearing Board concerning that permit at Docket No. _____ . PHG expressly waives any and all challenges or grounds for appeal to the 2000 NPDES permit, except for the issue of the color criterion as set forth in Paragraph 5a of this document.
Z. On July 9, 1999, the EPA paper and pulp technology team which had been reviewing PHG's plan to reduce color discharges from the mill, issued a report entitled ''Findings and Recommendations on Reducing Color Discharge.'' (These consultants will be referred to as the ''technology team'').
AA. Based on the findings of the technology team's report, it is the Department's position that reaching the final color limitations is technically achievable in accordance with the schedule set forth in Paragraph 2. (The July 9, 1999 ''Findings and Recommendations on Reducing Color Discharge'' is attached and incorporated here by reference as Exhibit No. 3. See page 11).
BB. On the basis of the technology team's recommendations, in the event that the state water quality standard for the Codorus Creek remains at 50 pcu for color, the Department has concluded that providing PHG until December 31, 2007 to comply with its color effluent limitations as set forth in the 2000 NPDES permit is reasonable. On the basis of the technology team's recommendations, in the event that the state water quality standard for color in the Codorus Creek is revised to 75 pcu, the Department has concluded that providing PHG until April 15, 2004 to comply with final effluent limitations, as set forth in the 2000 NPDES permit, is reasonable.
CC. In light of present circumstances, the Department and PHG wish to supersede the 1989 Consent Adjudication. The 2000 NPDES permit is changed only to the extent set forth in this document. At the time it publishes notice of the draft permit, the Department also will publish notice of this proposed settlement in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, containing a summary of the terms of this document. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to this proposed settlement for 30 days from publication of the notice of proposed settlement. The parties reserve the right to withdraw its consent to the proposed settlement if the comments disclose facts or considerations which indicate that this proposed settlement is inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest. This document will take effect only upon approval and entry by the Environmental Hearing Board.
[Continued on next Web Page]
[Continued from previous Web Page] ORDER NOW, THEREFORE, upon consent of each party hereto, and it appearing to the Board that this Consent Adjudication and Consent Order and Agreement is just and proper, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDICATED that:
1. As of the date of its entry by the Board, this document supersedes and replaces the prior Amended Consent Adjudication entered by the Board on May 16, 1989, but without prejudice to the claims reserved to PHG in paragraph 5a hereof.

PHG agrees to implement a color reduction plan to enable the mill to achieve and maintain compliance with its final color effluent limitations. The work shall be accomplished in accordance with the schedule set forth below:
(1) Within twelve months after completion of construction and start-up of the process changes included in the Case 4 technologies, PHG will update the mill color, mass and energy balance test. It will submit a plan to DEP identifying its choice of technology that minimizes environmental impacts, if additional color removal is required to meet the water quality standard PHG will identify a strategy and propose a schedule for implementing the color reduction technology that it will implement in order to achieve compliance with its final color effluent limitation by December 31, 2007. The report will include an explanation of and rationale for both the implementation strategy and the proposed schedule.
(2) Upon approval from the Department, PHG shall implement the color reduction technology in accordance with the agreed-upon schedule, with the final compliance date of December 31, 2007 to meet its final color effluent limitation.
b. In the event that the water quality standard for color in the Codorus Creek, set forth in 25 Pa. Code § 93, is revised to 75 pcu, the time schedule for compliance in which to meet the final color effluent limitation under the 2000 NPDES permit shall be April 15, 2004.
Interim Color Effluent Limitations c. The following interim effluent limitations and monitoring requirements will apply to the discharge of color in the effluent at outfall 001:
Discharge Limitations Average Maximum Monitoring Sample Monthly Daily Frequency Type Color (PCU) (Effluent) 330 440 1/day 24/hr. Comp. These interim effluent limitations will terminate on April 15, 2004. In the event that the water quality standard for the Codorus Creek is revised to 75 pcu, the final color effluent limitations, as set forth in the final permit, shall be in effect. In the event that the water quality standard for the Codorus Creek remains at 50 pcu, the interim color limitations in effect from April 15, 2004 until December 30, 2007 shall be 140 pcu Average Monthly and 280 pcu Maximum Daily (for the period 5/1--10/31), and 123 pcu Average Monthly and 246 pcu Maximum Daily (for the period 1/1--4/30), or as modified in the permit.
3. Stipulated Civil Penalties.
a. In the event PHG fails to comply in a timely manner with the provisions of Paragraph 2, PHG shall be in violation of this document and, in addition to other applicable remedies, shall pay a civil penalty in the amount determined under the following schedule:
(i) For any violation of Paragraph 2a(1), $500 per day for the first seven days of violation, $1000 per day for each day subsequently, up through the thirtieth day of violation; $2000 per day for each day after the thirtieth day of violation.
(ii) For any violation of the interim color limitations, as set forth in Paragraph 2c., $1000 per day for each day PHG is in violation of the maximum daily limitation. In addition to the maximum daily penalties set forth above, $5,000 for any monthly average violation.
(iii) For any violation of the final schedule compliance dates, as set forth above in paragraphs 2a(2) and 2b., $2000 per day for the first thirty days of violation; $4000 per day for each day subsequently, up through the sixtieth day of violation; $6,000 per day for each day after the sixtieth day of violation.
b. Stipulated civil penalty payments shall be made to the ''Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Clean Water Fund'' and shall be payable monthly on or before the fifteenth day of each succeeding month, and shall be forwarded c/o Compliance Specialist, DEP Water Management, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17110. The penalties are due automatically and without notice.
c. Any payment under this paragraph shall neither waive PHG's duty to meet its obligations under this document nor preclude the Department from commencing an action to compel PHG's compliance with the terms and conditions of this document. The payment resolves only PHG's liability for civil penalties arising from the violation of this document for which the payment is made. The Department expressly reserves all of its rights to seek any additional measures, including enforcement actions, for violations of maximum daily violations and monthly average violations of the final color limitations.
4. Additional Remedies.
a. In the event PHG fails to comply with any provisions of this document, the Department may, in addition to the remedies prescribed herein, pursue any remedy available for a violation of an order of the Department, including an action to enforce the Consent Order and Agreement.
b. The remedies provided by this paragraph and Paragraph 3 (Stipulated Civil Penalties) are cumulative and the exercise of one does not preclude the exercise of any other. The failure of the Department to pursue any remedy shall not be deemed to be a waiver of that remedy. The payment of a stipulated civil penalty, however, shall preclude any further assessment of civil penalties for the violation for which the stipulated civil penalty is paid. In the event that PHG violates Paragraph 3a(iii), by failing to meet the final schedule compliance dates, and PHG also is in violation of the maximum daily limitation and/or the monthly average limitation for the final color limitations, the Department expressly reserves its rights to seek civil penalties against PHG for any violations of the maximum daily limitation and/or monthly average limitation, in addition to the payment of stipulated penalties for a violation of Paragraph 3a(iii).
5. Reservation of Rights.
a. In the event the color criterion for the Codorus Creek is not changed to 75 pcu, PHG may challenge 25 Pa. Code Chapter 93 as it relates to the water quality criterion for color for this segment of the Codorus Creek and any permit effluent limit based thereon, on the bases set forth in its appeal at Docket # (this appeal), including those bases which PHG asserts have been preserved by its initial appeal entered at Docket No. 71-012 and the 1973 Consent Adjudication and the 1989 Amended Consent Adjudication entered at Docket No. 71-102, provided that such re-activation shall occur no later than 60 days after completion of the Case 4 technologies. The Department has not waived and expressly reserves any of its objections or defenses to any challenge to the 50 pcu water quality criteria for this segment of the Codorus Creek. This section does not create any rights that PHG does not already have under applicable laws.
b. The Department reserves the right to require additional measures to achieve compliance with applicable law. PHG reserves the right to challenge any action which the Department may take to require those measures.
6. Modification.
a. No changes, additions, modifications, or amendments of this document shall be effective unless they are set out in writing and signed by the parties hereto, and approved by the Board.
b. In the event that the water quality standard for the Codorus Creek remains at 50 pcu, PHG may request an extension of time in which to achieve compliance with the standard. If PHG seeks such an extension, it shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate entitlement to the extension. Any final action of the Department relative to PHG's request is appealable to the EHB by PHG and any aggrieved person.
7. Liability of Operator. PHG shall be liable for any violations of the document, including those caused by, contributed to, or allowed by its officers, agents, employees, or contractors. PHG also shall be liable for any violation of this document caused by, contributed to, or allowed by its successors and assigns.

Acknowledgment of Notices of Intent to Remediate submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101--6026.908).
Sections 302, 303, 304 and 305 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin an acknowledgment noting receipt of any 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. Persons intending to use the background standard, Statewide health standard, the site-specific standard, or who intend to remediate a site as a special industrial area, must 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 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 the cleanup standards, or who 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 any 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 the remediation.
Under sections 304(n)(l)(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 sites identified below 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. During this comment period the municipality may request that the person identified below, 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 of Environmental Protection Regional Office under which the notice appears.

AIR QUALITY Notice of Plan Approval and Operating Permit Applications Nonmajor Sources and Modifications The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.
Notice is hereby given that the Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Offices identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate regional office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with the Department Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.
Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121 through 143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the act.

REASONABLY AVAILABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY (RACT) Reasonably Available Control Technology; Public Hearing Chicago Rivet & Machine Company The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has made a preliminary determination to approve a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Plan and proposes to revise the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for Chicago Rivet & Machine Co. at Industrial Park, in Tyrone Borough, Blair County.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in RACT Operating Permit No. 07-2029 for the existing facility to comply with current regulations. The Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) RACT determination for the degreasers is the facility's current operations and work practice standards. The VOC RACT determination for all other existing VOC sources is that the emissions from each source shall remain below the RACT de minimis level of 2.7 tons per year.
The preliminary RACT determination, when finally approved, will be incorporated into an operating permit for the facility and will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a revision to Pennsylvania's SIP.
An appointment to review the pertinent documents at the Southcentral Regional Office may be scheduled by contacting Mary DiSanto at (717) 705-4732 between 8 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.

Provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 250.8 Administration of Land Recycling Program requires the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediations Standards Act (act). Plans and reports required by provisions of the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation, concentration of regulated substances in environmental media, benefits of reuse of the property, and in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. A cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed, and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Reaffirmation of Act 537 Sewage Facilities Update Revision Plan approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).
Northcentral Regional Office: Department of Environmental Protection, Water Management, Planning and Finance Section, Gary L. Metzger, Chief, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA 17701-6448, (570) 327-3399.
Ralpho Township, Northumberland County.
Project Description: In 1992, the Department approved an update revision to the Ralpho Township Act 537 Official Sewage Facility Plan which called for construction of a sewer extension to serve approximately 147 residences in the Sunnyside and Overlook Developments. The plan provided for the wastewater collected from this new service area to be conveyed to the existing Shamokin-Coal Township Joint Sewer Authority wastewater treatment facility for final treatment with discharge of the treated effluent to Shamokin Creek.
Ralpho Township has formed a new authority, the Municipal Authority of Sunnyside/Overlook, to design and construct this project with funding to be obtained through the PENNVEST program. The Department has reevaluated the planning for this project and proposes to authorize Ralpho Township to proceed with the project.
The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant negative environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
