17-00001G: NRG REMA LLC (250 Power Plant Drive, Shawville, PA 16873) has submitted a plan approval application to the PA Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for the proposed natural gas addition to the utility boilers at the Shawville Generating Station facility located in Bradford Township, Clearfield County. The plan approval application indicates that the utility boilers will be retrofitted with burners to accommodate natural gas. The proposed change in method of operation of the utility boilers, which are identified in the facility's Title V Operating Permit 17-00001 as Source IDs 031, 032, 033 and 034, will result in air contaminant emissions increases less than de minimis emissions levels. The company's New Source Review (NSR) applicability determination calculations show that there will be a total increase of annual VOC emissions from the utility boilers equal to approximately 18.3 tons per year (tpy). The total annual VOC emissions from the utility boilers, based on the NSR calculations, are equal to approximately 23.8 tpy.
PA DEP's review of the information submitted by NRG REMA LLC indicates that the proposed change in method of operation will comply with all applicable regulatory requirements, including the NSR requirements of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127. Additionally, the proposed change in method of operation shows that the utility boilers upon startup will comply with all applicable Mercury and Air Toxics Standard (MATS) requirements as codified in 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart UUUUU. The utility boilers are currently shut down. The company is planning to perform startup of the utility boilers sometime after the completion of the natural gas addition. The plan approval includes the applicable MATS requirement for the utility boilers. The utility boilers are required to be operated such that, the monthly heat inputs of fuels are monitored as well as the heat input calculations, in order to verify compliance with the clean fuel exemption of the MATS as codified under 40 CFR Section 63.9983. The Department-certified continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS) installed on the utility boilers stacks will be used to monitor the hourly heat input to derive the monthly heat input and the heat input calculations. The heat input calculations are used to verify the utility boilers have been operated in a manner that each of the boilers meets the criteria for natural gas-fired electric utility steam generating unit, as specified in 40 CFR Section 63.10042.

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. 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 limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters the Department may require.
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 563-2112-115, Developing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for Mining Activities. 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.

484.250.5970STATE CONSERVATION COMMISSION NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLANS RELATED TO APPLICATIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS FOR CAFOs The State Conservation Commission has taken the following actions on previously received applications for nutrient management plans under 3 Pa.C.S. Chapter 5, for agricultural operations that have or anticipate submitting applications for new, amended or renewed NPDES permits or NOIs for coverage under a general permit for CAFOs under 25 Pa.

Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal under 3 Pa.C.S. § 517, section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704 to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483.

For individuals who wish to challenge actions, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for pro bono representation. Call the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF OCTOBER 18, 1988 Notice of Proposed Interim Response Railroad TCE Site; Northampton and Warwick Townships, Bucks County The Department of Environmental Protection (the Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102—6020.1303), is proposing an interim response action at the Railroad TCE Site, Northampton and Warwick Townships, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
The Railroad TCE Site is located southeast of the intersection of Almshouse and Mearns Roads, on the border of Northampton and Warwick Townships. The Department has sampled over 60 residential and commercial wells, located along Creek Road, Hill Road, Lincoln Circle, and Charter Circle, and throughout the surrounding industrials complexes, between June 2011 and May 2015. Trichloroethylene (TCE) is the primary contaminant of concern detected in the samples. Other Volatile Organic Compounds detected in samples include 1, 1-Dicholore- thene, Tetrachloroethene and 1, 4-Dioxane. To date, the sampling revealed that 8 private residences had TCE at or above the Safe Drinking Water Act Maximum Contaminant Level.
To address the release and threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site, and corresponding threats to human health and the environment, the Department proposes to implement a response action at the Site under Section 501(a) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.501(a). The Department hereby proposes the installation of a waterline to address and replace the contaminated water supplies. The proposed waterline project will include the installation of water mains and lateral connections, and the abandonment of private supply wells. This proposed alternative complies with Applicable, Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) and is feasible and cost-effective. Other possible alternatives include no action, continued supply of bottled water, or the installation and continued maintenance of whole-house carbon filtration units. All alternatives with the exception of the no action alternative include restrictions of groundwater use.
This notice is being provided pursuant to Section 506(b) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.506(b). The Administrative Record which contains information that forms the basis and documents the selection of this response action is available for public review and comment. The Administrative Record is located at the Department; office located at 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401 and is available for review Monday through Friday from 8:00 am until 4:00 pm. Those interested in examining the Administrative Record at the Department's office should contact Josh Crooks at 484.250.5784 to arrange for an appointment. Additional copies of the Administrative Records are available for review at the Northampton and Warwick Township Buildings.
The Administrative Record will be open for comment from September 26th, 2015 until December 28th, 2015. Persons may submit written comments into the record during this time only, by sending them to Josh Crooks, Solid Waste Specialist at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401 or by email at jocrooks@pa.gov. In addition persons may present oral comments, for inclusion in the Administrative Record, at the public hearing. The Department has scheduled the hearing for November 17th, 2015 at 6:30 PM at the Warwick Township Building, 1775 Township Green Road, Jamison, PA 18929. Individuals wishing to present comments must register by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, Virginia Cain, at 484.250.5943.

Consent Order and Agreement York County Solid Waste and Refuse Authority, 2700 Blackbridge Road, York, PA 17406
York County Sanitary Landfill; NPDES Permit No. PA 0081744; Hopewell Township, York County
This Consent Order and Agreement (''COA'') is entered into this 21st day of August, 2015, by and between the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (''Department''), and York County Solid Waste and Refuse Authority (''YCSWRA'').
Findings
The Department has found and determined the following:
A. The Department is the agency with the duty and authority to administer and enforce the Pennsylvania Clean Streams Law, the Act of June 22, 1937, P. L. 1987, as amended, 35 P. S. § 691.1 et seq. (''The Clean Streams Law''); The Solid Waste Management Act, Act of July 7, 1980, P. L. 380, No. 97, as amended, 35 P. S. §§ 6018.101 et seq. (''SWMA''); Section 1917-A of the Administrative Code of 1929, Act of April 9, 1929, P. L. 177, as amended, 71 P. S. § 510-17 (''Administrative Code''); and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and with the delegated authority to administer a permit program, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (''NPDES''), under Section 402 of the Federal Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. § 1342.
B. YCSWRA, also known as York County Solid Waste Authority, owns and operates the York County Sanitary Landfill (''Landfill'') located in Hopewell Township, York County, and maintains a business address of 2700 Blackbridge Road, York, Pennsylvania 17406.
C. YCSWRA owns and operates a pump and treat air stripping system for the purposes of treating contaminated groundwater from an unlined portion of the Landfill. The pump and treat air stripping system is comprised of three air stripping towers. Air stripping towers 2 and 3 discharge treated groundwater to an Unnamed Tributary of Ebaughs Creek (''UNT Ebaughs Creek''), a Water of the Commonwealth, through Outfall 002. Air stripping tower 1 discharges treated groundwater to an Unnamed Tributary of Rambo Run (''UNT Rambo Run''), a Water of the Commonwealth, through Outfall 001.
D. The discharge of treated groundwater from the air stripping system and into UNT Ebaughs Creek and UNT Rambo Run through Outfalls 001 and 002 is authorized under the terms and conditions of NPDES Permit No. PA0081744, effective December 1, 2006, which expired November 30, 2011. YCSWRA timely applied for an NPDES renewal, which application was received by the Department on May 27, 2011, and YCSWRA's treated groundwater discharge from the air stripping system continues to be authorized under NPDES Permit No. PA0081744 by virtue of its timely renewal application.
E. The discharges of treated groundwater are to the headwaters of UNT Ebaughs Creek and UNT Rambo Run that have small upstream drainage areas with little or no dilution. Based upon the available data, the Department takes the position that discharges have the reasonable potential to cause or contribute to an excursion above the mercury criterion in 25 Pa. Code Section 93.8d, Table 5, and in recognition of the parties' disagreement regarding application of the 25 Pa. Code Section 93.8d, Table 5 criterion to the subject discharges, the Department has agreed to allow YCSWRA to develop a site-specific criterion for methylmercury, based on a fish tissue bioaccumulation factor (as recommended by EPA), that will be translated to a water column concentration for total mercury that is protective of human health . The study will be performed as required, including in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Section 93.8d, and will include a site-specific translator for converting the methylmercury criterion to total mercury for purposes of monitoring the discharges.
F. On November 30, 2011, the Department met with YCSWRA and informed YCSWRA that it would be required to meet the discharge limitation of 0.05 µg/l for total mercury at Outfalls 001 and 002, or complete a study to develop a site-specific water quality criterion for methylmercury.
G. On May 9, 2012 the Department collected fish (brook trout) for tissue samples at two locations in Rambo Run. The purpose of the sampling was to determine the concentration of mercury in the fish, and to further determine if there was a reasonable potential to continue with a site specific methylmercury bioaccumulation factor study. The fish tissue concentrations were 0.036 mg/kg and 0.038 mg/kg.
H. By letter dated November 1, 2012, the Department advised YCSWRA that it must choose from the following two options regarding Mercury in its discharge:
1. Meet the Human Health Criteria for Hg of 0.05 ug/L as listed in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 93 Table 5. The Department will include a schedule in the permit to allow time to meet this more stringent limit.
2. Submit a Site-Specific study for the Department's review utilizing the document titled Site-Specific Methyl Mercury Fish Tissue Based Water Quality Criterion—Quality Assurance Project Plan/BAF Determination dated February 27, 2012 provided to the Authority during the meeting on March 22, 2012. This option will be accompanied by a Consent Order and Agreement. Please note that the criteria developed utilizing this option would have to be used even if it is calculated to be more stringent than the existing Human Health Criteria.
On November 19, 2012, YCSWRA sent the Department an email stating that it ''has chosen to conduct a stream survey to determine the site specific bioaccumulation factor as presented in your letter''.
I. In a series of meetings in 2013-2014, the Department and YCSWRA met to discuss the study and related matters.
J. During the same time period, the Department requested that YCSWRA collect 6 monthly samples of methylmercury from the two NPDES outfalls. YCSWRA submitted total mercury and methylmercury analytical results for monthly samples collected between June and November 2013.
K. By letter dated February 18, 2015, the Department advised YCSWRA that it had the following two options regarding the proposed total mercury limit in NPDES Permit No. PA0081744:
1. Accept a limit based on the existing water quality criteria for total mercury (0.05 ug/l) provided in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 93.
2. Develop and conduct a study to develop a site-specific criterion for total mercury for both Rambo Run and Ebaughs Creek.
Under the second option, if YCSWRA were to conduct the study, the study would include developing a site—specific methylmercury criterion, and a site—specific translation factor, which would be used to develop effluent discharge limits for total mercury for Rambo Run and Ebaughs Creek.
The Department's letter referred to the following guidance documents: National Recommended WQ Human Health Criteria for Mercury (Draft, 12/30/2013); and Human Health Criteria-Methylmercury Fish Tissue Criterion (January 2001, EPA-823-R-01-001).
L. By email dated March 17, 2015, YCSWRA notified the Department that it ''selected to conduct a stream survey in applicable water bodies to determine a site specific criteria for total mercury for each of our treatment systems at the York County Sanitary Landfill''.
Order After full and complete negotiation of all matters set forth in this COA and upon mutual exchange of covenants contained herein, the parties desiring to avoid litigation and intending to be legally bound, it is hereby ORDERED by the Department and AGREED to by YCSWRA as follows:
1. Authority. This COA is an Order of the Department authorized and issued pursuant to Section 5 of The Clean Streams Law, 35 P. S. § 691.5; and Section 1917-A of the Administrative Code, 71 P. S. § 510.17.
2. Findings.
a. The Department and YCSWRA agree that the findings in paragraphs A through L are true and correct, and, in any matter or proceeding involving YCSWRA and the Department, YCSWRA shall not challenge the accuracy or validity of these findings.
b. The parties do not authorize any other persons to use the findings in the COA in any matter or proceeding.
3. Corrective Action.
a. Within 60 days after the execution of this COA, YCSWRA shall submit a site-specific study plan (hereafter the ''Plan'') that identifies and describes the ''methodology to be utilized to develop a site-specific methylmercury criterion and translation factor for the unnamed tributaries to Rambo Run and Ebaughs Creek'' (hereafter the ''Site-Specific Study''). The site-specific methylmercury criterion will be applied with a site-specific translation factor, to develop effluent discharge limits for total mercury for Outfall 001 and Outfall 002. The Plan shall be performed in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Section 93.8d.
b. If the Department advises YCSWRA that additional information is needed to approve the Plan, YCSWRA shall submit the information within 15 days of the date of the Department's request; however, upon written request, including a justification from YCSWRA, the Department may allow an extension for such a submittal.
c. In the event that the Department determines that the Plan as submitted by YCSWRA is deficient and notifies YCSWRA of the need for additional information, as set forth above in paragraph 3.b and YCSWRA fails to provide the Department with additional information sufficient to make the Plan approvable by December 31, 2015, the Department will amend NPDES Permit No. PA0081744 with a total mercury effluent limitation of 0.05 µg/l for Outfalls 001 and 002 as a monthly average. In the event that the Department takes the action just described, this COA terminates and YCSWRA retains the right to appeal the NPDES Permit.
d. Within 21 days following approval of the Plan by the Department, YCSWRA shall initiate implementation of the Site-Specific Study described in the Plan, unless the Department has agreed in writing to a later date, and shall commence the sampling required for the site-specific translation factor. The required sampling shall be performed at both Rambo Run and Ebaughs Creek, and shall be performed in accordance with the approved Plan.
e. For each month or portion thereof that follows YCSWRA's initiation of the Site-Specific Study, YCSWRA shall submit a report to the Department outlining major activities accomplished, results received, and findings during the applicable month. The report shall be mailed to Maria Bebenek, Manager, Clean Water Program, DEP, SCRO, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
f. The Department will use its best efforts to provide a timely review of the monthly reports and notify YCSWRA if the Site-Specific Study is not being implemented consistent with the Plan.
g. During the implementation of the Site-Specific Study, YCSWRA may request modifications to the approved Plan. All modifications to the Plan shall be set forth in writing and approved by the Department.
h. Within 60 days after the completion of the Site-Specific Study, but no later than June 1, 2018, YCSWRA shall submit a ''complete report'' of the Site-Specific Study's results and findings for Department review (hereafter, the ''Site-Specific Study Report''), unless DEP agrees to an extension in writing. The Site-Specific Study Report shall include all raw data for fish tissue and water column, used to determine the BAF and the translation factor.
i. Upon receiving the Site-Specific Study Report, the Department will review the report to ensure that the Site-Specific Study followed the protocols in the approved Plan.
j. If the Department requires additional information to review or approve any submittal necessary to comply with this COA, YCSWRA shall submit the requested information within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the Department's notice that such information is required; however, upon written request the Department may allow an extension for such a submittal.
4. NPDES PERMIT
a. 2015 permit. Within fifteen business days of the date of signing this Consent Order and Agreement, the Department will issue a draft NPDES permit. (The draft NPDES permit is attached as Exhibit A and is incorporated by reference). The Department will include in the permit a requirement for monitoring and reporting the total mercury concentration in the effluent from Outfalls 001 and 002 on a monthly basis. As set forth in Exhibit A, the draft NPDES permit will also include a reopener clause. Following close of the public comment period, the Department will issue a final NPDES permit (hereinafter called the ''2015 permit''). If the Department issues the 2015 permit substantially in conformance with the terms of the attached Exhibit A insofar as they relate to the subject matter of this COA, YCSWRA will not challenge the permit requirements, conditions, or effluent limitations in any appeal filed with the Environmental Hearing Board or in any other administrative or judicial forum. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit YCSWRA's right to appeal any permit requirements with respect to matters other than those that are the subject matter of this COA.
b. Permit to be modified after Plan is completed. As set forth above, in paragraph 3.i, upon receiving the Site-Specific Study Report , the Department will review the report to ensure that the Site-Specific Study followed the protocols in the approved Plan.
i. If the Department determines that the Site-Specific Study followed the protocols in the approved Plan, the Department will issue a draft NPDES Permit No. PA0081744 amendment to include a permit limit for total mercury in the discharges from Outfalls 001 and 002, which shall be based on the water quality criteria that was determined as a result of the Site-Specific Study. After the close of the public comment period, the Department will issue a final NPDES Permit No. PA0081744 amendment.
ii. If following review of the Site-Specific Study Report the Department determines that the Site-Specific Study did not follow the protocols in the approved Plan, the Department will issue a draft NPDES Permit No. PA0081744 amendment to include a total mercury effluent limitation of 0.05 µg/l for Outfalls 001 and 002 as a monthly average. After the close of the public comment period, the Department will issue a final NPDES Permit No. PA0081744 amendment. In the event that the Department takes the action just described, this COA terminates and YCSWRA reserves the right to appeal the Permit amendment's total mercury effluent limitation of 0.05 µg/l for Outfalls 001 and 002 as a monthly average.
iii. If necessary, the amended NPDES Permit No. PA0081744 will include a schedule for YCSWRA to upgrade the wastewater treatment plant to comply with the final effluent limitations. The schedule will provide for the submission of an administratively and technically complete Water Quality Management Part II Permit application for the wastewater treatment plant upgrades, which shall include a schedule for required construction no longer than two years from the date of the Part II Permit issuance.
iv. If the Department determines that the Site-Specific Study followed the protocols in the approved Plan, YCSWRA will not challenge before the Environmental Hearing Board or in any other administrative or judicial forum the site-specific methylmercury water quality criteria determined pursuant to the Site-Specific Study, provided that YCSWRA's rights to challenge before the Environmental Hearing Board and in any other administrative or judicial forum the discharge limits for total mercury the Department determines for Outfalls 001 and 002 under paragraph 4.b.i of this COA are in all respects fully preserved and unaffected by this COA insofar as those discharge limits are more stringent than necessary to meet the site-specific methylmercury criteria determined pursuant to the Site-Specific Study or are otherwise inconsistent with the Site-Specific Study.
5. Stipulated Civil Penalties.
a. If YCSWRA fails to comply in a timely manner with the provisions of this COA, YCSWRA shall be in violation of this COA and, in addition to other applicable remedies, shall pay a civil penalty in the amount determined under the following schedule:
For any violation of paragraphs 3.a, 3.b, 3.d, 3.e, 3.h and 3.j, $200 per day for the first 30 days of each violation, and $500 per day for each violation extending beyond the first 30 days.
b. Stipulated civil penalty payments for any violation of paragraph 3 herein shall be payable monthly on or before the twenty-eighth day of each succeeding month, and shall be forwarded as described in paragraph 10 below.
c. Any payment under this paragraph shall neither waive YCSWRA's duty to meet its obligations under this COA, nor preclude the Department from commencing an action to compel YCSWRA's compliance with the terms and conditions of this COA. The payment resolves YCSWRA's liability only for civil penalties arising from the violation of this COA.
6. Additional Remedies.
a. If YCSWRA fails to comply with any provision of this COA, the Department may, in addition to the remedies prescribed herein, pursue any remedy available for a violation of an order of the Department, including an action to enforce this COA.
b. The remedies provided by this paragraph and paragraph 5 are cumulative and the exercise of one does not preclude the exercise of any other. The failure of the Department to pursue any remedy shall not be deemed to be a waiver of that remedy. The payment of a stipulated civil penalty, however, shall preclude any further assessment of civil penalties for the violation for which the stipulated civil penalty is paid.
c. No provision of this COA shall preclude the Department from pursuing civil penalties for past violations of NPDES permit PA 0081744, if any, or any future reported or documented violations, except those violations covered by Paragraph 5 of this COA.
7. Reservation of Rights. The Department reserves the right to require additional measures to achieve compliance with applicable laws. YCSWRA reserves the right to challenge any action which the Department may take to require those measures.
8. Liability of Operator. YCSWRA shall be liable for any violations of the COA, including those caused by, contributed to, or allowed by its officers, agents, employees or contractors. YCSWRA also shall be liable for any violation of this COA caused by, contributed to, or allowed by its successors and assigns.
9. Transfer of Site.
a. The duties and obligations under this COA shall not be modified, diminished, terminated, or otherwise altered by the transfer of any legal or equitable interest in the Landfill or any part thereof.
b. If YCSWRA intends to transfer any legal or equitable interest in the Landfill and the transferred interest is affected by this COA, YCSWRA shall serve a copy of this COA upon the prospective transferee of the legal or equitable interest at least thirty (30) days prior to the completed transfer and shall simultaneously inform the Department's Southcentral Regional Office of such intent.
c. The Department in its sole discretion may agree to modify or terminate YCSWRA's duties and obligations under this COA upon transfer of the Landfill. YCSWRA waives any right that it may have to challenge the Department's decision in this regard.
10. Correspondence with Department. All correspondence with the Department concerning this COA shall be addressed to Maria Bebenek, Clean Water Program Manager, DEP Clean Water Program, Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200, Phone: 717-705-4795, Fax: 717-705-4760.

11. Correspondence with YCSWRA. All correspondence with YCSWRA concerning this COA shall be addressed to Mr. Dave Vollero, YCSWRA, 2700 Blackbridge Road, York, PA 17406, Phone: 717-845-1066, Fax: 717-843-1544.
YCSWRA shall notify the Department whenever there is a change in the contact person's name or address. Service of any notice or any legal process for any purpose under this COA, including its enforcement, may be made by mailing a copy by first class mail to the above address.
12. Force Majeure.
a. In the event that YCSWRA is prevented from complying in a timely manner with any time limit imposed under this COA solely because of a strike, fire, flood, act of God, or other circumstances entirely beyond YCSWRA's control and which YCSWRA, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, is unable to prevent, YCSWRA may petition the Department for an extension of time. An increase in the cost of performing the obligations set forth in this COA shall not constitute circumstances beyond YCSWRA's control. YCSWRA's economic inability to comply with any of the obligations of this COA shall not be grounds for any extension of time.
b. YCSWRA shall only be entitled to the benefits of this paragraph if it notifies the Department within five business days by telephone and within ten business days in writing of the date it becomes aware or reasonably should have become aware of the event impeding performance. The written submission shall include all necessary documentation, as well as a notarized affidavit from an authorized individual specifying the reasons for the delay, the expected duration of the delay, and the efforts which have been made and are being made by YCSWRA to mitigate the effects of the event and to minimize the length of the delay. The initial written submission may be supplemented within ten business days of its submission. YCSWRA's failure to comply with the requirements of this paragraph specifically and in a timely fashion shall render this paragraph null and of no effect as to the particular incident involved.
c. The Department will decide whether to grant all or part of the extension requested on the basis of all documentation submitted by YCSWRA and other information available to the Department. In any subsequent litigation, YCSWRA shall have the burden of proving that the Department's refusal to grant the requested extension was an abuse of discretion based upon the information then available to it.
d. This paragraph 12 does not apply to requests by YCSWRA under paragraphs 3.c, 3.f and 3.i of this COA.
13. Severability. The paragraphs of this COA shall be severable and should any part hereof be declared invalid or unenforceable, the remainder shall continue in full force and effect between the parties.
14. Entire Agreement. This COA shall constitute the entire integrated agreement of the parties. No prior or contemporaneous communications or prior drafts shall be relevant or admissible for purposes of determining the meaning or intent of any provisions herein in any litigation or any other proceeding.
15. Attorney Fees. The parties shall bear their respective attorney fees, expenses, and other costs in the prosecution or defense of this matter or any related matters arising prior to execution of this COA.
16. Modifications. No changes, additions, modifications, or amendments of this COA shall be effective unless they are set out in writing and signed by the parties hereto.
17. Titles. A title used at the beginning of any paragraph of this COA is provided solely for the purpose of identification and shall not be used to interpret that paragraph.
18. Decisions Under Consent Order. Except as provided in Paragraphs 3 and 4, any decision which the Department makes under the provisions of this COA is intended to be neither a final action under 25 Pa. Code § 1021.2, nor an adjudication under 2 Pa.C.S. § 101. Any objection which YCSWRA may have to the decision will be preserved until the Department enforces this COA.
19. Dispute Resolution.
a. YCSWRA may initiate dispute resolution under this paragraph, in response to any decision required of the Department under Paragraphs 3.c, 3.g and 4.b.ii.
b. To initiate dispute resolution, YCSWRA shall provide written notice to the Department within ten (10) days of the decision in dispute. YCSWRA shall have an additional ten days to provide the Department with a written list of objections to the decision in dispute, the relevant facts, analysis and opinions and other supporting data (''Statement of Position''). The Department shall have twenty (20) days to provide its Statement of Position.
c. Within the twenty (20) day period following receipt of the Department's Statement of Position, the Clean Water Program Manager and YCSWRA's Executive Director shall confer in an attempt to resolve the dispute. In the event the parties are unable to resolve the dispute within this period, the Statements of Position shall be provided to the Department's Southcentral Regional/Director to issue a final decision resolving the dispute.
d. During the pendency of the dispute resolution procedures set forth in Subparagraphs (b) and (c), any obligation to be performed under this Consent Order and Agreement which is the subject of such dispute and any associated activities whose performance is directly dependent upon the resolution of the dispute shall be postponed for a period of time not to exceed the actual time taken to resolve the dispute pursuant to Subparagraphs (b) and (c) or as otherwise agreed by the parties. All other obligations and activities shall be completed in accordance with the terms of this Consent Order and Agreement.
e. Any time period for dispute resolution set forth herein may be extended by written agreement of the parties.
f. For decisions which are specified as appealable to the Environmental Hearing Board under this COA, YCSWRA must either appeal the decision to the Board within thirty (30) days of its receipt, or initiate dispute resolution in the manner set forth in this paragraph and in all events before the expiration of the 30 day appeal period.

Clean Water Act means the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended. (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251 to 1387).
Chemical Additive means a chemical product (including products of disassociation and degradation, collectively ''products'') introduced into a waste stream that is used for cleaning, disinfecting, or maintenance and which may be detected in effluent discharged to waters of the Commonwealth. The term generally excludes chemicals used for neutralization of waste streams, the production of goods, and treatment of wastewater.
Composite Sample (for all except GC/MS volatile organic analysis) means a combination of individual samples (at least eight for a 24-hour period or four for an 8-hour period) of at least 100 milliliters (mL) each obtained at spaced time intervals during the compositing period. The composite must be flow-proportional; either the volume of each individual sample is proportional to discharge flow rates, or the sampling interval is proportional to the flow rates over the time period used to produce the composite. (EPA Form 2C)
Composite Sample (for GC/MS volatile organic analysis) consists of at least four aliquots or grab samples collected during the sampling event (not necessarily flow proportioned). The samples must be combined in the laboratory immediately before analysis and then one analysis is performed. (EPA Form 2C)
Daily Average Temperature means the average of all temperature measurements made, or the mean value plot of the record of a continuous automated temperature recording instrument, either during a calendar day or during the operating day if flows are of a shorter duration.
Daily Discharge means the discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants with limitations expressed in units of mass, the ''daily discharge'' is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day.

The term includes wastes transported to and disposed of within the treatment facility or other entry points within the collection system.
Immersion Stabilization (i-s) means a calibrated device is immersed in the wastewater until the reading is stabilized.
Instantaneous Maximum Effluent Limitation means the highest allowable discharge of a concentration or mass of a substance at any one time as measured by a grab sample. (25 Pa. Code § 92a.2)
Measured Flow means any method of liquid volume measurement, the accuracy of which has been previously demonstrated in engineering practice, or for which a relationship to absolute volume has been obtained.
Monthly Average Discharge Limitation means the highest allowable average of ''daily discharges'' over a calendar month, calculated as the sum of all ''daily discharges'' measured during a calendar month divided by the number of ''daily discharges'' measured during that month. (25 Pa. Code § 92a.2)
Municipal Waste means garbage, refuse, industrial lunchroom or office waste and other material, including solid, liquid, semisolid or contained gaseous material resulting from operation of residential, municipal, commercial or institutional establishments and from community activities; and sludge not meeting the definition of residual or hazardous waste under this section from a municipal, commercial or institutional water supply treatment plant, waste water treatment plant or air pollution control facility. (25 Pa. Code § 271.1)
Non-contact Cooling Water means water used to reduce temperature which does not come in direct contact with any raw material, intermediate product, waste product (other than heat), or finished product.
Residual Waste means garbage, refuse, other discarded material or other waste, including solid, liquid, semisolid or contained gaseous materials resulting from industrial, mining and agricultural operations and sludge from an industrial, mining or agricultural water supply treatment facility, wastewater treatment facility or air pollution control facility, if it is not hazardous.

(25 Pa Code § 287.1)
Severe Property Damage means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities that causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources that can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in production. (40 CFR 122.41(m)(1)(ii))
Stormwater means the runoff from precipitation, snow melt runoff, and surface runoff and drainage. (25 Pa. Code § 92a.2)
Stormwater Associated With Industrial Activity means the discharge from any conveyance that is used for collecting and conveying stormwater and that is directly related to manufacturing, processing, or raw materials storage areas at an industrial plant, and as defined at 40 CFR 122.26(b)(14) (i)—(ix) & (xi) and 25 Pa. Code § 92a.2.
Total Dissolved Solids means the total dissolved (filterable) solids as determined by use of the method specified in 40 CFR Part 136.
Toxic Pollutant means those pollutants, or combinations of pollutants, including disease-causing agents, which after discharge and upon exposure, ingestion, inhalation or assimilation into any organism, either directly from the environment or indirectly by ingestion through food chains may, on the basis of information available to DEP cause death, disease, behavioral abnormalities, cancer, genetic mutations, physiological malfunctions, including malfunctions in reproduction, or physical deformations in these organisms or their offspring. (25 Pa. Code § 92a.2)
III. SELF-MONITORING, REPORTING AND RECORD-KEEPING
A. Representative Sampling
1. Samples and measurements taken for the purpose of monitoring shall be representative of the monitored activity (40 CFR 122.41(j)(1)). Representative sampling includes the collection of samples, where possible, during periods of adverse weather, changes in treatment plant performance and changes in treatment plant loading. If possible, effluent samples must be collected where the effluent is well mixed near the center of the discharge conveyance and at the approximate mid-depth point, where the turbulence is at a maximum and the settlement of solids is minimized. (40 CFR 122.48, 25 Pa. Code § 92a.61)

If the permittee elects to begin using DEP's eDMR system to submit DMRs required by the permit, the permittee shall, to assure continuity of business operations, continue using the eDMR system to submit all DMRs and Supplemental Reports required by the permit, unless the following steps are completed to discontinue use of eDMR:
a. The permittee shall submit written notification to the regional office that issued the permit that it intends to discontinue use of eDMR. The notification shall be signed by a principal executive officer or authorized agent of the permittee.
b. The permittee shall continue using eDMR until the permittee receives written notification from DEP's Central Office that the facility has been removed from the eDMR system, and electronic report submissions are no longer expected.
5. The completed DMR Form shall be signed and certified by either of the following applicable persons, as defined in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.22:
- For a corporation—by a principal executive officer of at least the level of vice president, or an authorized representative, if the representative is responsible for the overall operation of the facility from which the discharge described in the NPDES form originates.
- For a partnership or sole proprietorship—by a general partner or the proprietor, respectively.
- For a municipality, state, federal or other public agency—by a principal executive officer or ranking elected official.
If signed by a person other than the above, written notification of delegation of DMR signatory authority must be submitted to DEP in advance of or along with the relevant DMR form. (40 CFR 122.22(b))
6. If the permittee monitors any pollutant at monitoring points as designated by this permit, using analytical methods described in Part A III.A.4. herein, more frequently than the permit requires, the results of this monitoring shall be incorporated, as appropriate, into the calculations used to report self-monitoring data on the DMR. (40 CFR 122.41(l)(4)(ii))
C. Reporting Requirements
1. Planned Changes to Physical Facilities—The permittee shall give notice to DEP as soon as possible but no later than 30 days prior to planned physical alterations or additions to the permitted facility. A permit under 25 Pa. Code Chapter 91 may be required for these situations prior to implementing the planned changes. A permit application, or other written submission to DEP, can be used to satisfy the notification requirements of this section.
Notice is required when:
a. The alteration or addition to a permitted facility may meet one of the criteria for determining whether a facility is a new source in 40 CFR 122.29(b). (40 CFR 122.41(l)(1)(i))
b. The alteration or addition could significantly change the nature or increase the quantity of pollutants discharged. This notification applies to pollutants which are not subject to effluent limitations in this permit. (40 CFR 122.41(l)(1)(ii))
c. The alteration or addition results in a significant change in the permittee's sludge use or disposal practices, and such alteration, addition, or change may justify the application of permit conditions that are different from or absent in the existing permit, including notification of additional use or disposal sites not reported during the permit application process or not reported pursuant to an approved land application plan. (40 CFR 122.41(l)(1)(iii))
d. The planned change may result in noncompliance with permit requirements. (40 CFR 122.41(l)(2))
2. Planned Changes to Waste Stream—Under the authority of 25 Pa. Code § 92a.24(a), the permittee shall provide notice to DEP as soon as possible but no later than 45 days prior to any planned changes in the volume or pollutant concentration of its influent waste stream as a result of indirect discharges or hauled-in wastes, as specified in paragraphs 2.a. and 2.b., below. Notice shall be provided on the ''Planned Changes to Waste Stream'' Supplemental Report (3800-FM-BPNPSM0482), available on DEP's website. The permittee shall provide information on the quality and quantity of waste introduced into the facility, and any anticipated impact of the change on the quantity or quality of effluent to be discharged from the facility. The Report shall be sent via Certified Mail or other means to confirm DEP's receipt of the notification. DEP will determine if the submission of a new application and receipt of a new or amended permit is required.
a. Introduction of New Pollutants (25 Pa. Code § 92a.24(a))
New pollutants are defined as parameters that meet all of the following criteria:
(i) Were not detected in the facilities' influent waste stream as reported in the permit application; and
(ii) Have not been approved to be included in the permittee's influent waste stream by DEP in writing.
The permittee shall provide notification of the introduction of new pollutants in accordance with paragraph 2 above. The permittee may not authorize the introduction of new pollutants until the permittee receives DEP's written approval.
b. Increased Loading of Approved Pollutants (25 Pa. Code § 92a.24(a))
Approved pollutants are defined as parameters that meet one or more of the following criteria:
(i) Were detected in the facilities' influent waste stream as reported in the permittee's permit application; or
(ii) Have been approved to be included in the permittee's influent waste stream by DEP in writing; or
(iii) Have an effluent limitation or monitoring requirement in this permit.
The permittee shall provide notification of the introduction of increased influent loading (lbs/day) of approved pollutants in accordance with paragraph 2 above when (1) the cumulative increase in influent loading (lbs/day) exceeds 20% of the maximum loading reported in the permit application, or a loading previously approved by DEP, or (2) may cause an exceedance in the effluent of Effluent Limitation Guidelines (ELGs) or limitations in Part A of this permit, or (3) may cause interference or pass through at the facility, or (4) may cause exceedances of the applicable water quality standards in the receiving stream. Unless specified otherwise in this permit, if DEP does not respond to the notification within 30 days of its receipt, the permittee may proceed with the increase in loading. The acceptance of increased loading of approved pollutants may not result in an exceedance of ELGs or effluent limitations and may not cause exceedances of the applicable water quality standards in the receiving stream.
3. Reporting Requirements for Hauled-In Wastes
a. Receipt of Residual Waste
(i) The permittee shall document the receipt of all hauled-in residual wastes (including but not limited to wastewater from oil and gas wells, food processing waste, and landfill leachate), as defined at 25 Pa. Code § 287.1, that are received for processing at the treatment facility. The permittee shall report hauled-in residual wastes on a monthly basis to DEP on the ''Hauled In Residual Wastes'' Supplemental Report (3800-FM-BPNPSM0450) as an attachment to the DMR. If no residual wastes were received during a month, submission of the Supplemental Report is not required.
The following information is required by the Supplemental Report. The information used to develop the Report shall be retained by the permittee for five years from the date of receipt and must be made available to DEP or EPA upon request.
(1) The dates that residual wastes were received.
(2) The volume (gallons) of wastes received.
(3) The license plate number of the vehicle transporting the waste to the treatment facility.
(4) The permit number(s) of the well(s) where residual wastes were generated, if applicable.
(5) The name and address of the generator of the residual wastes.
(6) The type of wastewater.
The transporter of residual waste must maintain these and other records as part of the daily operational record (25 Pa. Code § 299.219). If the transporter is unable to provide this information or the permittee has not otherwise received the information from the generator, the residual wastes shall not be accepted by the permittee until such time as the permittee receives such information from the transporter or generator.
(ii) The following conditions apply to the characterization of residual wastes received by the permittee:
(1) If the generator is required to complete a chemical analysis of residual wastes in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 287.51, the permittee must receive and maintain on file a chemical analysis of the residual wastes it receives. The chemical analysis must conform to the Bureau of Waste Management's Form 26R except as noted in paragraph (2), below. Each load of residual waste received must be covered by a chemical analysis if the generator is required to complete it.
(2) For wastewater generated from hydraulic fracturing operations (''frac wastewater'') within the first 30 production days of a well site, the chemical analysis may be a general frac wastewater characterization approved by DEP. Thereafter, the chemical analysis must be waste-specific and be reported on the Form 26R.
b. Receipt of Municipal Waste
(i) The permittee shall document the receipt of all hauled-in municipal wastes (including but not limited to septage and liquid sewage sludge), as defined at 25 Pa. Code § 271.1, that are received for processing at the treatment facility. The permittee shall report hauled-in municipal wastes on a monthly basis to DEP on the ''Hauled In Municipal Wastes'' Supplemental Report (3800-FM-BPNPSM0437) as an attachment to the DMR. If no municipal wastes were received during a month, submission of the Supplemental Report is not required.
The following information is required by the Supplemental Report:
(1) The dates that municipal wastes were received.
(2) The volume (gallons) of wastes received.
(3) The BOD5 concentration (mg/l) and load (lbs) for the wastes received.
(4) The location(s) where wastes were disposed of within the treatment facility.
