    SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT

    PLAN APPROVAL

       The Department of Environmental Protection has taken the following actions on previously received permit applications and requests for plan approval and has issued the following significant orders.

       Any person aggrieved by this action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514), and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, 400 Market Street, Floor 2, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. Appeals must be filed with the Environmental Hearing Board within 30 days of receipt of written notice of this action unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in braille or on audio tape from the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.


    Plan approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).

       Northeast Regional Office:  Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, telephone (717) 826-2553.

       Location:  Borough of Conyngham, Luzerne County.

       The Department's review has found that the Plan Update is now acceptable and hereby grants planning approval. This review has also not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.

       The Plan Update proposes several measures designed to improve the conveyance and treatment of the Borough's wastewater. These measures will be implemented by the Conyngham Borough Authority (Authority) on behalf of the Borough of Conyngham.

       First, the Plan Update proposes to replace approximately 1,200 lineal feet of 8" vitrified clay pipe with 1,200 lineal feet of 15" SDR35 plastic (PVC) sewer pipe along with associated new manholes in a section of the conveyance system between Manholes 94 and 76 located in the Borough of Conyngham as depicted on drawing number CBA-P94001E in the Plan Update. This section of the conveyance system is being replaced to eliminate the entry of excessive infiltration into the conveyance system's lines and to provide adequate hydraulic conveyance capacity in this portion of the system.

       Secondly, the Plan Update proposes the installation of an overflow structure to be located at Manhole No. 2 on the Authority's wastewater conveyance interceptor. This structure and associated conveyance line will facilitate the conveyance of excessively large wastewater flows, associated with wet-weather/high groundwater conditions, to a proposed, additional chlorine contact tank at the Authority's Wastewater Treatment Facility. The proposed, additional chlorine contact tank will allow for the adequate treatment of wastewater received by the wastewater treatment facility at the facility's peak design flow of 0.875 mgd. The overflow structure, its associated conveyance line and proposed chlorine contact tank will prevent future, additional overflows of untreated wastewater from the wastewater treatment facility's treatment units, during high flow conditions, as has frequently occurred in the past.

       Thirdly, the Plan Update proposes the replacement of existing electrical, mechanical and other operational equipment at the Authority's Wastewater Treatment Facility. The existing equipment is being replaced since certain components have reached or exceeded their design life and are either failing or currently inoperable.

       Lastly, the Plan Update proposes to eliminate the existing pump station located on Howard Avenue in the Borough of Conyngham. Wastewater currently conveyed to this pump station will now be conveyed to the Authority's Wastewater Treatment Facility via a gravity sewer line to be constructed from the existing Howard Avenue Pump Station site to Manhole No. 278 located along SR0093 in Sugarloaf Township. The Howard Avenue pump station is being eliminated to prevent any future, additional discharges of untreated wastewater onto properties in the vicinity of the existing pump station's location.

       The previously described activities are proposed to be financed either through a bond issue or local financial institution loan.

       In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20(a)) (Act 537), and Ch. 71 of the Department's Regulations (25 Pa. Code Ch. 71), the Department will hold the Borough of Conyngham responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the Plan Update's chosen wastewater disposal alternative. Implementation of the Plan Update's chosen wastewater disposal alternative must be performed within the time frames indicated in the Plan Update's Schedule of Implementation.

       Any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the Plan Update must be in compliance with the Department's Regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.

    Action taken under the Pennsylvania Safe Drinking Water Act (35 P. S. §§ 721.1--721.17).
