Notice of Extension of General NPDES Permit for Stormwater Discharges Associated with Industrial Activities

[31 Pa.B. 4012]

   Under the authority of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.101), sections 1905-A, 1917-A and 1920-A of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P. S. §§ 510-5, 510-17 and 510-20), the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), by this notice, issues a 4 month time extension of its current General NPDES Permit for stormwater discharges associated with industrial activities (PAG #3) and related permit documents.

   The current general permit is scheduled to expire August 3, 2001. The proposed extension will extend the current permit, as is in its entirety, until December 3, 2001. The extension will be effective on August 4, 2001, and shall expire on December 3, 2001. On or before August 4, 2001, DEP will redate and post the current permit and related documents (the NOI and the Instructions, Fact Sheet and DMRs) on the DEP website as amendment #3. No other changes will be made to the documents under amendment #3. All of the current permit documents, as updated for amendment #3, will continue to be in use until they are revised after subsequent rulemaking.

   The general permit documents are currently under DEP review for a major update to reflect new information and other changes since the original documents were last updated. This extension provides for the continuation of the use of the existing general permit in the interim until the regulatory process for final revisions are completed.

   The amendment #3 permit documents package will continue to be available from the Department's Regional and Central Offices until it is replaced or updated.

   The permit document package is on file in DEP's central office of the Bureau of Water Supply and Wastewater Management at the following location. It is also available on DEP's website at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/watermgt/Wqp/Forms/FM-WQ0083b.doc.
