Public Notice of the Renewal and Availability of NPDES General Permit No. PAG310001 for Discharges from Stripper Oil Well Facilities
The Department of Environmental Protection has renewed a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general permit for the controlled discharge of treated production fluids from primary recovery, gas drive and waterflooded stripper oil well facilities into surface waters of the Commonwealth.
This general permit applies specifically to discharges from primary recovery, gas drive and waterflood stripper oil well facilities located in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Stripper oil wells produce 10 barrels per well per calendar day or less of crude oil. Operations using tertiary recovery methods such as thermal or chemical methods, and commercial, public or offsite centralized treatment facilities are excluded from coverage under this permit. The facilities affected by the general permit are included under 40 CFR Part 435 Subpart F--Stripper Subcategory and SIC Code 1311, Crude Petroleum and Natural Gas.
An abbreviated description of the conditions of the permit are as follows:
--The permit does not authorize discharges to waters classified as ''Special Protection'' as defined in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 93;
--The effluent limitations are:
Average Instantaneous Discharge Parameter Monthly Maximum Total suspended solids, mg/l 30 60 Oil and Grease, mg/l 15 30 Total Iron, mg/l 3.5 7 Acidity, mg/l less than alkalinity pH within the limits of 6.0--9.0 Flow, gpm * *The rate of discharge (in gallons per minute) shall not exceed the amount specified on the individual approval for each outfall. The maximum volume of discharge in a day that may be approved under this general permit is 1,000 gallons.
--The discharge shall not result in a violation of the water quality criteria prescribed in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 16 and 93 for the various designated uses of the receiving stream.
--The operator shall not add any water as dilution water in order to meet the effluent limits in the permit.
--Prior to commencing any discharge, a Part II Construction/Operation Permit under section 308 of the Clean Streams Law must be obtained.
Public notice of the draft renewed general permit was made in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on August 10, 1996. Comments on the draft renewed general permit were accepted until September 10, 1996.
Unless otherwise approved by the Department for submission at a later date, applications for coverage under the general permit are to be filed at least 180 days prior to start up and commencement of discharge.
The approval for coverage under the general permit for each outfall will be valid for 5 years from the date approved by the Department. If the general permit is not renewed, the approval for coverage will expire the same date as the general permit. Operators who desire to continue to discharge will need to obtain an individual NPDES permit.
Application forms may be obtained at either regional office of the Bureau of Oil and Gas Management at the following locations:
Dept. of Environmental Protection, NW Regional Office--Oil and Gas, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335, (814) 332-6860; Dept. of Environmental Protection, SW Regional Office--Oil and Gas, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745, (412) 442-4000.
Completed applications should be submitted to the appropriate regional office. No application fee will be required for coverage under this general NPDES permit.
Each application for coverage will be reviewed for compliance with the terms of the general permit which includes verifying that the water quality standards of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 93 will not be violated. An individual approval will be issued to dischargers that qualify.
The following parties have applied for an NPDES permit to discharge stormwater from a proposed construction activity into the surface waters of the Commonwealth. Unless otherwise indicated on the basis of preliminary review and application of lawful standards and regulations, the Department of Environmental Protection proposes to issue a permit to discharge, subject to certain limitations set forth in the permit and special conditions. These proposed determinations are tentative. Limitations are provided in the permit as erosion and sedimentation control measures and facilities which restrict the rate and quantity of sediment discharged.
Where indicated, the EPA, Region III, Regional Administrator has waived the right to review or object to this proposed permit action under the waiver provision 40 CFR 123.24(d).
Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permit are invited to submit a statement to the Regional Office or County Conservation District Office indicated as the responsible office, within 30 days from the date of this public notice.

Proposed Consent Order and Agreement
Oliver Site and RSR Jones Site
Waterford Township and City of Erie, Erie CountyUnder section 1113 of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P. S. § 6020.1113) notice is hereby provided that the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has settled with Barney R. Radov (Radov) and RSR Investment Company (RSR) concerning the Department's claims against them for the Oliver Site and the RSR Jones Site in Erie County, PA.
In the past, wastes containing hazardous substances were disposed at the Oliver Site and the RSR Jones Site. These hazardous substances have contaminated the soil, surface water, sediment and groundwater at each Site. Concerning the Oliver Site, the Department has incurred more than $1 million in past costs, and it estimates that it will cost approximately $3 million more to clean-up that Site. Concerning the RSR Jones Site, the Department has incurred at least $348,000 in past costs, and it estimates that it will cost approximately $1.5 million more to clean-up that Site. However, based upon Radov's and RSR's available assets, the Department has determined that Radov and RSR cannot pay for any substantial portion of the response costs at either Site. Accordingly, the Department has agreed to enter into a financial inability to pay settlement with Radov and RSR.
Under this settlement, Radov and RSR will pay $155,150 in principal plus interest to the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Fund. RSR will also place a lien on the RSR Jones Site for $348,000. The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the Consent Order and Agreement between the Department and Radov and RSR.
The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the Consent Order and Agreement for 60 days from the date of this public notice. The Department may withdraw its consent if the comments disclose facts or considerations which indicate that this settlement is inappropriate, inadequate or not in the public interest. This settlement shall become final upon the filing of the Department's responses to any significant comments to the Consent Order and Agreement.
Copies of the Consent Order and Agreement are available for inspection at the Department's office at 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Edward Orris, Project Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481. Further information may be obtained by contacting Edward Orris at (814) 332-6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Service at 1 (800) 645-5984.

The proposed 115,200 gpd of sewage flows will be conveyed by the Lehigh County Authority Western Lehigh Interceptor by a direct gravity connection of an 8 inch sewer line into the interceptor. The City of Allentown Wastewater Treatment Plant will accept the proposed flows for treatment. Public water will be provided to the project by Lehigh County Authority. The developer has secured a BDWM-GP-5 utility line stream crossings permit from the Department to install the 8 inch sewer line across Spring Creek.

Proposed Water Management Experimental Permits for Small Flow Sewage Treatment System
The Pennsylvania Rural Electric Association (PREA) has applied for an experimental permit to construct and operate a proposed new technology demonstration project on the property of Gary Discavage, Etna Furnace, Catherine Township, Blair County, PA. The project will consist of a small flow sewage treatment system comprised of conventional septic tanks, a recirculating sand filter and an ultraviolet light for disinfection. A subsurface discharge into a disposal trench is planned. The project is designed to serve a home and a cottage and will address existing sewage problems at the project location.
Unless otherwise indicated on the basis of detailed technical review of the application and/or lack of submission of necessary pre-requisite planning approvals or municipal sponsorship/ordinance assuring proper operation and maintenance of the project, the Department has made a tentative decision to issue the experimental permit. All experimental permits represent only the conditional approval of such systems and must be promptly replaced or modified by the permittee, to the satisfaction of the Department if they fail, malfunction or cause a public nuisance. At the completion of the successful demonstration, the permit will be transferred to the property owner who will be responsible for continued compliance, operation and maintenance.
Persons wishing to comment on the proposed permit are invited to submit a written statement to Permits Section, Division of Permits and Compliance, P. O. Box 8465, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8465, within 30 days from the date of this public notice. Comments received within this 30-day period will be considered in formulating the final determination regarding this application. Comments should include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a brief statement to inform the Department of the basis of the comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based. A fact finding public meeting may be held if the Department considers the public response significant.
Following the comment period, the Department will make a final determination regarding the proposed permit action. Notice of the final determination will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at which time this determination may be appealed to the Environmental Hearing Board.
The permit application and related documents, and the proposed permit with any special conditions can be inspected at the Division of Permits and Compliance located on the 10th floor of the Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA.
