MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* * The parameter is applicable at all times. In addition, the Department imposes a technology-based aluminum limit of 2.0 mg/l (30 day average) to protect stream uses.
A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The BAT limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 40 CFR Part 436 and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l Alkalinity exceeding acidity* pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 * The parameter is applicable at all times.
Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation—Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation, and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT PLAN APPROVAL
Plan Approvals Granted Under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. § 750.5)
Northeast Region: Clean Water Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790
Plan Location: Act 537 Plan Update Revision, City of Bethlehem
Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County City of Bethlehem City Hall
10 E. Church St.
Bethlehem, PA 18018
Northampton Plan Description: The approved plan provides for the City's Act 537 Plan submitted on February 9, 2012 prepared by Malcolm Pirnie and ARRO, and entitled Act 537 Plan Update Revision.
The proposal is located in the City of Bethlehem which provides sewerage treatment facilities to the following contributing municipalities: City of Allentown, Hanover Township (Lehigh County), Hanover Township (Northampton County), Lower Saucon Township, Hellertown Borough, Fountain Hill Borough, Salisbury Township, Palmer Township, Bethlehem Township, Lower Nazareth Township, and the Borough of Freemansburg.
The Plan consists of implementing Alternative 5-Plug Flow Operation with Anoxic Selector Zones. This alternative proposes converting the existing two-stage activated sludge/trickling filter process to a single-stage activated sludge process which will restore the existing plant design capacity of 20 MGD to accommodate the existing and future wastewater needs of the city and its contributing municipalities.
Components of the recommended wet stream alternatives in Alternative 5 include:
• Continued use of existing primary clarifiers.
• Construction of a new secondary treatment train consisting of 4.5 MG new aeration tank volume paired with the existing final clarifiers, which would operate in parallel to the existing aeration tanks and intermediate clarifiers.
• Existing aeration tanks would be retrofit with new, more efficient mechanical aerators, rather than a diffused aeration system. New aeration tanks would be deeper (18-foot SWD) than the existing aeration tanks and use fine bubble diffused aeration.
• Flow would be split equally between both trains.
• An Anoxic Selector Zone will be incorporated in the front of the first pass, for improved settle ability and reduced odor potential. To accommodate the selector zone in the existing ATs, the first mechanical aerator in the pass would need to be replaced with submersible mixing and a baffle wall constructed to prevent back-mixing of flow from the downstream aerated zone.
The estimated opinion of probable cost for Alternative 5 is $26,854,000.
In addition to the Alternative 5, several other WWTP improvements were recommended based on aging equipment and poor performance. These include:
• Replacement (in-kind) of existing bar screens and grit collector equipment.
• Installation of primary sludge degritting equipment.
• Conversion of existing chlorine gas disinfection system to liquid sodium hypochlorite disinfection system.
• Construction of a 2,475 sq. ft. laboratory and administration building to be located between Primary Clarifier No. 1 and Trickling Filter No. 1. Administrative and lab functions, along with personnel spaces such as lunchrooms, locker rooms, and showers, would be moved from the existing Control Building into this new space, allowing the existing lab and lunchroom to be used for relocation of the dewatering polymer system.
• Installation of a fourth final effluent pump to increase the plant peak flow capacity to 50 MGD.
The estimated opinion of probable cost for these other WWTP improvements is $7,230,300.
An evaluation of the solids handling system was also performed as part of this Act 537 Plan. The recommended alternative for solids handling improvements is Alternative 4, which consists of:
• Construction of a new 35 ft. diameter primary sludge thickener located to the south of existing Secondary Digester No. 1 and northeast of Primary Clarifier No. 1.
• Continued pre-thickening of WAS in the existing gravity thickener.
• Replacement of the existing rotary drum thickener with two new gravity belt thickeners. Expansion of the existing mechanical sludge thickener building to accommodate the two new gravity belt thickeners. In addition, the existing thickening polymer system will be expanded and relocated within the new building expansion.
• Conversion of the two existing secondary digesters into primary digesters through the addition of heating and pumped sludge mixing systems (i.e., Rotamix).
• Construction of a 5th primary digester to be located east of existing Pump Station No. 2, if necessary. The new primary digester would also contain the same pumped sludge mixing systems as the converted secondary digesters. New innovative sludge pretreatment technologies should be considered in the future in lieu of the new digester construction.
• Replacement of the existing heater and mixing systems with a new pumped sludge heating and mixing system in the two existing primary digesters.
• Construction of a new 600,000 gal. sludge storage tank upstream of the solids dewatering process. Replacement of the existing two belt filter presses with three dewatering centrifuges.
• Relocation of existing dewatering polymer systems within the Control Building.
The estimated opinion of probable cost for recommended solids handling improvements is $19,724,000.
Collection system improvements recommended in this Act 537 Plan consist of those addressing level of service issues, as well as previously documented capital improvement projects (CIP). Approximately 876 linear feet of pipe improvements were recommended to address level of service issues for current and future dry and wet weather flows identified through the City's collection system model simulations. The CIP projects (Priority groups 1 and 2) include approximately 18,310 linear feet of pipe improvements. The overall total opinion of probable cost for the recommended collection system improvements is $19,296,000.
The Plan provides for restoring the existing plant design capacity of 20 MGD to accommodate the existing and future wastewater needs of the City and its contributing municipalities. Collection/conveyance system improvements will also be made through a Capital Improvement Program based on pre-determined level of service criteria for both the dry weather flow as well as the 5-year design storm flow.
Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the City of Bethlehem.

LAND RECYCLING AND
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATIONUNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of 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 act's remediation standards. 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 analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, will also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. 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. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.

Section 250.8 of 25 Pa. Code and administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the 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 act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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. Plans and reports required by 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. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property.
