Proposed NPDES Permit Renewal Actions for Minor Sewage Discharges
The following parties have applied to renew their current NPDES permits to allow the continued discharge of controlled wastewater into the surface waters of this Commonwealth. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has made a tentative determination to renew these permits and proposes to issue them, subject to their current permit effluent limitations, and monitoring and reporting requirements, with appropriate and necessary updated requirements to reflect new or changed regulations and other requirements. The updates may include, but will not be limited to, applicable permit conditions and/or requirements addressing combined sewer overflows (CSOs), municipal sewage sludge management, and total residual chlorine control (TRC). Any major changes to or deviations from the terms of the existing permit will be documented and published with the final Department actions.
The EPA, Region III, Regional Administrator has waived the right to review or object to these proposed permit actions under the waiver provision 40 CFR 123.6E.
Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permits are invited to submit a statement to the Field Operations indicated as the office responsible, within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day period will be considered in the formulation of the final determinations regarding these applications and proposed permit actions. Comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a brief statement to inform the Field Office of the basis of the comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based. A public hearing may be held if the Field Office considers the public response significant.
Following the 30-day comment period, the Water Management Program Managers will make a final determination regarding the proposed permit action. Notice of this determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, at which time this determination may be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.
The permit renewal application and related documents, proposed effluent limitations and special conditions, comments received and other information are on DEP's file. The documents may be inspected at, or a copy requested from, the Field Office that has been indicated above the application notice.

Notice of Reopening of Administrative Record and Additional Comment Period Relating to a Prompt Interim Response Under the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act
Bristol Township, Bucks County The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102--6020.1304) initiated a prompt interim response at the Westmoreland Tubular Products Manufacturing Co., Inc. on September 14, 1992. Notice of this response was advertised in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, vol. 22, no. 41, October 10, 1992. The Westmoreland Tubular Products site (the site) is located at 6500 Beaver Dam Road, Levittown, Bristol Township, Bucks County.
The site included 158 badly deteriorated drums. The drums contained hazardous substances that were a waste product generated from a painting operation. The deteriorated condition of the drums allowed the release of the hazardous substances to the environment.
In addressing the release of hazardous substances at the site, the Department's major objective was to eliminate the human health and environmental threat caused by the defective drums. In order to achieve this objective, the Department selected a response which included overpacking all drums, sampling and analysis for waste characterization and treatment/disposal purposes, and arranging and providing for off site removal of the waste to an appropriate treatment/disposal facility. All wastes involved in this response were removed from the facility during April 1993.
Under section 506(g) of HSCA, information regarding costs incurred by the Department in order to perform the above mentioned prompt interim response have been added to the Administrative Record. The Department is providing this notice under section 506(h) of HSCA. The publishing of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin initiates an additional 60 day public comment period, as provided, under that act. The sole purpose of this additional comment period is to accept comments relating to costs incurred by the Department. Comments not related to costs will not be considered.
Information regarding costs, contained in the Administrative Record, is available for public inspection from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Department of Environmental Protection's offices located at Suite 6010, Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA.
Written comments concerning the Department's costs and related to information contained in the Administrative Record will be accepted in person, if delivered, or by mail, if postmarked, on or before July 5, 1996. Written comments should be directed to the attention of Kevin Hess, Pa DEP Project Officer, Suite 6010 Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA 19428, telephone (610) 832-6194.
In addition, the public will have an opportunity to present oral comments at a public hearing. The public hearing has been scheduled for June 6, 1996 at 7 p.m., at the Department's Southeast Regional Office, Suite 6010, Lee Park, 555 North Lane, Conshohocken, PA. Persons wishing to present oral comments must register on or before June 4, 1996, by calling Rob Goldberg at (610) 832-6010. If no person registers to present oral comments by the date specified above, the hearing will not be held. For more information about the hearing, including if anyone has registered and if the hearing will be held, contact Kevin Hess at (610) 832-6194.
