Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
__________

Bald Eagle Creek

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on Tuesday, March 3, 1998 beginning at 7 p.m. at the Tyrone Borough Office, 1100 Logan Street to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL, established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Bald Eagle Creek (Stream Code 15835) was listed on Pennsylvania's 1996 Section 303(d) List because water quality standards for temperature to support the designated uses of trout stocking are not expected to be met even after technology-based controls required by law are installed. This TMDL establishes the following allowable pollutant loading for Bald Eagle Creek from its headwaters to its confluence with the Little Juniata River, in Tyrone Borough, Blair County:

Pollutant	TMDL
Thermal
January	478 MBTU/day
February	420 MBTU/day
March	1341 MBTU/day
April	1214 MBTU/day
May	1072 MBTU/day
June
(1-15)	342 MBTU/day
(16-30)	205 MBTU/day
July	38 MBTU/day
August
(1-15)	172 MBTU/day
(16-31)	366 MBTU/day
September	284 MBTU/day
October
(1-15)	323 MBTU/day
(16-31)	280 MBTU/day
November
(1--15)	355 MBTU/day
(16--30)	291 MBTU/day
December	391 MBTU/day
Point Source Discharges Affected

   The Department has determined that Westvaco Corporation NPDES Permit No. PA0008893 is the only significant thermal discharge to Bald Eagle Creek under critical conditions (the 7-day--10 year low flow). Nonpoint source contributions of temperature are negligible at critical low flow conditions.

   The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Roger Musselman, Water Management Program, Southcentral Region, One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110, [phone]. Persons with a disability may use the AT&T Relay Service by calling 1 [phone] (TDD users) or 1 [phone] (voice users).

   Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked by March 7, 1998. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting, should notify the Department no later than 4 p.m. on February 27, 1998, The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

Unnamed Tributary of Mill Creek

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on Thursday, March 12, 1998 beginning at 7 p.m. at the Upper Leacock Municipal Building, 28 Keystone Court, Leola to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL, established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The unnamed tributary of Mill Creek (Stream Code 7612) was listed on Pennsylvania's 1996 Section 303(d) List because water quality standards for dissolved osmotic pressure needed to support the designated uses of warm water fishery are not expected to be met even after technology-based controls required by law are installed. This TMDL establishes the following allowable pollutant loading for the unnamed tributary to Mill Creek from River Mile 1.2 to 0.3 mile, in Upper Leacock Township, Lancaster County.

	TMDL =	WLA +	LA +	MOS
Pollutant	(Total	(Wasteload	(Load	(Margin of
	Maximum	Allocation	Allocation)	Safety)
	Daily Load)--	-by source)
Osmotic Pressure	76 mos/kg	76 mos/kg	Omos/kg	Omos/kg

   Point Source Discharges Affected

   The Department has determined that Dart Container NPDES Permit No. PA0044571 is the only significant contributor of osmotic pressure to the unnamed tributary under critical conditions (the 7-day--10 year low flow). Nonpoint source contributions for osmotic pressure is negligible at critical low flow conditions.

   The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact James Miller, Water Management Program, Southcentral Region, One Ararat Boulevard, Harrisburg, PA 17110, [phone]. Persons with a disability may use the AT&T Relay Service by calling 1 [phone] (TDD Users) or 1 [phone] (voice users).

   Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked by March 18, 1998. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting, should notify the Department no later than 4 p.m. on Friday, March 6, 1998. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.
