The CAFO is currently designed to maintain an animal population of approximately 4,182 animal equivalent units (AEUs) consisting of 1,000,000 laying hens and 595,000 pullets. Hillandale has proposed expansion of the farm including construction of nine new layer barns, two new egg washwater storage facilities and two new egg processing facilities. The expansion plan also calls for the remodeling of two pullet barns and decommissioning of five pullet barns. When the proposed expansion is complete the CAFO will maintain an animal population of approximately 10,376 AEUs consisting of 2,775,000 laying hens and 500,000 pullets. Dry poultry manure will be stored in centralized manure storage buildings at the layer sites, and within the poultry houses at the pullet sites. Currently eggs are processed at the layer site, and egg washwater is stored in a storage structure with a capacity of approximately 650,000 gallons. Hillandale has proposed to construct two new storage impoundments with a total capacity of approximately 980,000 gallons to provide storage for wastewater generated at the proposed egg processing facilities.

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has conducted administrative and technical reviews of the application. Based on the preliminary review and application of lawful standards and regulations, the Department has made a tentative determination to reissue the NPDES permit for the operation subject to the terms and conditions and monitoring and reporting requirements specified in the permit.

    STATE CONSERVATION COMMISSION

    NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLANS RELATED TO APPLICATIONS FOR NATIONAL POLLUTION DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM (NPDES) PERMITS FOR CONCENTRATED ANIMAL FEEDING OPERATIONS (CAFO)

       The State Conservation Commission has taken the following actions on previously received applications for nutrient management plans under the act of July 6, 2005 (Act 38 of 2005, 3 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--522) (hereinafter referred to as Act 38), for agricultural operations that have or anticipate submitting applications for new, amended or renewed NPDES permits, or Notices of Intent for coverage under a general permit, for CAFOs, under 25 Pa. Code Chapter 92. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapter 92 and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act.

       Persons aggrieved by any action may appeal under section 517 of Act 38, section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to Administrative Agency Law) to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachael 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 Relay Service at (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. 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. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.

       For individuals who wish to challenge an action, 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.

    SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT PLAN APPROVAL


    Plan Approvals Granted under section 5 of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. § 750.5)

       Southcentral Region: Water Management Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, (717) 705-4707.

       Plan Location:  at 945 Baltimore Pike in Gettysburg Borough, Adams County.

    Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County
    Cumberland Township 1370 Fairfield Road
    Gettysburg, PA 17325
    Adams County

       Plan Description:  The approved plan provides for the replacement of an existing 45 unit hotel with a new 70 unit structure and the public sewer connection of an existing restaurant, insurance agency and single-family home. The plan includes the construction of new collection lines and a new pump station and force main tributary to the Gettysburg Municipal Sewage Treatment Plant. The name of the project is Jayjyoti Corporation and the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) code No. is A3-01911-274-3. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality, authority or owner as appropriate.

       Plan Location:  on South Second Street in McSherrystown Borough, Adams County.

    Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County
    McSherrystown Borough 338 Main Street
    McSherrystown, PA 17344
    Adams County

       Plan Description:  The approved plan provides for a new subdivision of 13 single-family homes generating an estimated 3,133 gpd tributary to the Hanover Borough Regional Sewage Treatment Plant. The name of the project is the Sheaffer Property and the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) code No. is A3-01803-013-3. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. The project is approved with the following conditions:

       1.  Approval of this project will constitute a depletion of all allocated sewer taps issued under the Department's June 28, 2007, sewer allocation letter to the Borough. The Department will not be able to approve future planning modules for projects tributary to the Hanover Borough Wastewater Treatment Plant until the Department receives and approves the future public sewer need for all contributing municipalities and the Department issues a Water Quality Permit for the construction of the North Side and West Side interceptors.

       2.  The approved project qualifies for a CSL permit exemption in accordance with Act 40. However, this planning approval is given on the condition that all sewerage facilities qualifying for the permit exemption must be designed, constructed and operated in accordance with the technical standards and practices contained in the Department's Sewerage Manual and that the municipality and/or authority accepts full responsibility for continuing operation and maintenance.

       3.  Other Department permits may be required for construction if encroachment to streams or wetlands will result. Information regarding the requirements for those permits or approvals can be obtained from the Department Permitting and Technical Services Section, Water Management Program, Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110.

       4.  We assume that the developers intend to construct the collection system at their own expense and dedicate it to the municipality upon completion for maintenance and operation.

       5.  All connections tributary to the Hanover Regional Sewage Treatment Plant must be in accordance with the Consent Order and Agreement made between the Department and Hanover Borough.

       Plan Location:  on Chapel Road in Conewago Township, Adams County.

    Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County
    Conewago Township 541 Oxford Avenue
    Hanover, PA 17331
    Adams County

       Plan Description:  The approved plan provides for the construction of a new pump station, force main and collection system to serve 52 single-family homes. The name of the project is Chapel View Phase 2 and the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) code No. is A3-01910-071-3. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. The project is approved with the following conditions:

       1.  Approval of this project will constitute a depletion of all allocated sewer taps issued under the Department's June 28, 2007, sewer allocation letter to the Borough. The Department will not be able to approve future planning modules for projects tributary to the Hanover Borough Wastewater Treatment Plant until the Department receives and approves the future public sewer need for all contributing municipalities and the Department issues a Water Quality Permit for the construction of the North Side and West Side interceptors.

       2.  The approved project will require a Clean Streams Law (CSL) permit for the construction and operation of the proposed sewerage facilities. The permit application must be submitted in the name of Conewago Township Municipal Authority. Approval of this planning module is only approval of the preliminary concept of the proposed project and does not assure that a permit application will be acted upon favorably by the Department. Issuance of a CSL permit will be based upon a technical evaluation of the permit application and supporting information. Starting construction prior to obtaining a permit is a violation of the CSL.

       3.  This plan approval does not include approval of the system design that will be evaluated and approved as part of the CSL permit application review.

       4.  Other Department permits may be required for construction if encroachment to streams or wetlands will result. Information regarding the requirements for such permits or approvals can be obtained from the Department Permitting and Technical Services Section, Water Management Program, Southcentral Regional Office, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110.

       5.  The Department assumes that the developers intend to construct the collection system at their own expense and dedicate it to the municipality upon completion for maintenance and operation.

       6.  All connections tributary to the Hanover Regional Sewage Treatment Plant must be in accordance with the Consent Order and Agreement made between the Department and Hanover Borough.

    SEWAGE FACILITIES ACT PLAN DISAPPROVAL


    Plan Disapprovals Granted under section 5 of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. § 750.5)

       Southcentral Region: Water Management Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110, (717) 705-4707.

       Plan Location:

    Borough or Township Borough or Township Address County
    East Hanover Township 8848 Jonestown Road
    Grantville, PA 17028
    Dauphin County

       Plan Description:  The Component 3M Minor Act 537 Plan Update for the Englewood and Partridge Hills areas of the Township was disapproved because the Plan failed to demonstrate that the chosen alternative can meet the long-term sewage disposal needs of the study areas. The Plan also failed to support the conclusion that increased pumping and inspections of septic tanks could serve to address the confirmed and suspected malfunctions in the subject areas.

    SPECIAL NOTICES

       Southwest Region: Watershed Management Program Manager, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745.

    Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Watershed of Pumpkin Run
    (Greene County)

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will accept comments on the proposed TMDL developed for the watershed of Pumpkin Run in Greene County. The TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. Streams within this watershed are listed in Pennsylvania's Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report as being impaired due to excessive nutrient loading and organic enrichment/low dissolved oxygen levels resulting from agricultural activities.

       Impairments were addressed by establishing a TMDL of phosphorus, which was calculated to be the limiting nutrient. There currently are no State or Federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for phosphorus. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. The proposed TMDL sets allowable loadings of phosphorus in the watershed of Pumpkin Run. Phosphorus loadings were allocated among all land use categories present in the watershed and to existing point sources. Data used in establishing this TMDL were generated using a water quality analysis model designed by the Pennsylvania State University.

       The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL). To request a copy of this TMDL, contact: Joe Boylan at joboylan@state.pa.us or 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.

       The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be received by November 2, 2008. A public meeting to discuss the technical merits of the TMDL will be held on Wednesday, October 15, 2008, at 6 p.m. at the Rices Landing Borough Community Building, 100 Water Street, Rices Landing, PA 15317.

    Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Licking Creek Watershed
    in Clarion County

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL for the Licking Creek Watershed in Clarion County. The meeting will be held on October 2, 2008, beginning at 1 p.m. at the Knox District Mining Office in Knox, PA. The proposed TMDL was developed in accordance with the requirements of The Clean Water Act, section 303(d). Eighty-one segments in the Licking Creek Watershed (including Anderson, Cherry and Craggs Runs, Little Licking Creek and Mineral Run) have been identified as impaired on the 1996, 1998, 2002, 2004 and 2006 Pennsylvania 303(d) lists due to depressed pH and high concentrations of metals.

       The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron, manganese and acidity), pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:

    Total Recoverable/
    Parameter Criterion value (mg/l) Dissolved
    Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable
    Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable
    Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable
    pH 6.0 to 9.0 NA

       The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal in the late 19th century and mining occurs on a smaller scale today. The effects of this are still present. The TMDL consists of load allocations, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations which are established for permitted point sources.

       The TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. Monte Carlo Simulation allows for the expansion of a data set based on its statistical makeup. Since there was no critical flow condition where criteria were exceeded, the Department used the average flow to express the loading values in the TMDL.

       The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected over a 2 year period.

       The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Ely Heferle, Water Pollution Biologist, Knox District Mining Office, White Memorial Building, P. O. Box 669, Knox, PA 16232-0669, (814) 797-1191. E-mail will be received at eheferle@state.pa.us. Directions to the Knox District Mining Office can also be obtained by contacting this address.

       The proposed TMDL for the Licking Creek Watershed can be accessed through the Department's web site, www. dep.state.pa.us, by typing ''TMDL'' in the DEP Keyword field and clicking GO.

       Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by November 26, 2008. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department no later than 4 p.m., Wednesday, October 1, 2008. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

       Persons with a disability who require accommodations to attend this meting should contact the Department at (814) 797-1191 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.

    Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) for Whites Creek Watershed
    in Somerset County

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on October 28, 2008, beginning at 1 p.m. at the Ebensburg District Office in Ebensburg, PA to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of the 1996 section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. One stream segment in the Whites Creek Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to high concentrations of metals; additional segments were identified in 1998, 2002, 2004 and 2006. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:

    Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded
    38778 Whites Creek 2

       The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept metals (aluminum, iron and manganese) and pH and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:

    Criterion valueTotal Recoverable/
    Parameter (mg/l) Dissolved
    Aluminum 0.75 Total Recoverable
    Iron 1.5 Total Recoverable
    Manganese 1.00 Total Recoverable
    pH 6.0 to 9.0 NA

       The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal in the 20th century. The effects of this are still present. The TMDL consists of load allocations, which are made to nonpoint sources of pollution and waste load allocations, which are made to permitted point sources.

       The TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. Monte Carlo Simulation allows for the expansion of a dataset based on its statistical makeup. Since there was no critical flow condition where criteria were exceeded, the Department used the average flow to express the loading values in the TMDL.

       The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected throughout 2007 and 2008.

       The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Mike Timcik at (814) 472-1936 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, at Ebensburg District Mining Office, 286 Industrial Park Road, Ebensburg, PA 15931. E-mail will be received at mtimcik@state.pa.us. Directions to the meeting place can also be obtained through this contact.

       The TMDL can be viewed and printed by accessing the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL).

       Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by November 27, 2008. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department no later than 3 p.m., Friday, October 24, 2008. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.

    Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) for UNT to Connoquenessing Creek Watershed in Butler County

       The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is accepting comments on a proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of the 1996 section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. One stream segment in the UNT to Connoquenessing Creek Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to siltation; additional segments were identified in 1998, 2002, 2004 and 2006. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:

    Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded
    35314 UNT to Connoquenessing Creek 1.5

       There currently are no State or Federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation or suspended solids. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment in the UNT to Connoquenessing Creek Watershed. The sediment loadings were allocated among all land use categories present in the watersheds. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model designed by the Pennsylvania State University.

       The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet, contact Bill Brown at (717) 783-2951 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, at 400 Market Street, 10th Floor RCSOB, Harrisburg, PA 17105.

       The TMDL can be viewed and printed by accessing the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL).

       Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by November 20, 2008. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
