upgrade, but not expand, a 0.75 million
gallon per day wastewater treatment
plant (WWTP), which serves Penns
Grove Borough, Salem County, New
Jersey. The WWTP upgrade will provide
two new final clarifiers with
appurtenances. The existing final
clarifiers require costly chemical
additives to meet NJPDES permit limits,
particularly during surge flow
conditions. The two new final clarifiers
should reduce or eliminate the need to
add costly chemicals to meet permit
limits. Penns Grove Sewerage Authority
requested and was granted emergency
approval by the DRBC on January 12,
2006 to implement the WWTP
improvements expeditiously, in order to
meet a construction grant deadline. The

An application to modify the Prompton
Dam to safely pass the Probable
Maximum Flood (PMF) of 111,000 cubic
feet per second (cfs), based upon revised
estimates of flow regimes for the 60square mile drainage area. The original
PMF flow of 81,500 cfs was calculated
in the year 1949, prior to advancements
in mathematical modeling. Primarily a
flood control facility, Prompton Dam is
located in Prompton Borough, Wayne
County, Pennsylvania. The lake that it
forms on the West Branch Lackawaxen
River extends into Clinton Township,
also in Wayne County. The project
involves the widening of the spillway
from 50 to 85 feet, constructing a fuseplug in the spillway, upgrading the
outlet works rip-rap, and constructing
an embankment with material that will
be excavated from the spillway. The
project is located in the drainage area of
DRBC Special Protection Waters and the
Upper Delaware Scenic and
Recreational River.
In addition to the public hearing on
the dockets listed above, the
Commission’s 1:30 p.m. business

to upgrade, but not expand, a 0.75 million gallon per day wastewater
treatment plant (WWTP), which serves Penns Grove Borough, Salem County,
New Jersey. The WWTP upgrade will provide two new final clarifiers with
appurtenances. The existing final clarifiers require costly chemical
additives to meet NJPDES permit limits, particularly during surge flow
conditions. The two new final clarifiers should reduce or eliminate the
need to add costly chemicals to meet permit limits. Penns Grove
Sewerage Authority requested and was granted emergency approval by the
DRBC on January 12, 2006 to implement the WWTP improvements
expeditiously, in order to meet a construction grant deadline. The WWTP

River. The facility is located in Buckingham Township, Wayne County,
Pennsylvania.
29. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Philadelphia District D-2005-32
CP-1. An application to modify the Prompton Dam to safely pass the

based upon revised estimates of flow regimes for the 60-square mile
drainage area. The original PMF flow of 81,500 cfs was calculated in
the year 1949, prior to advancements in mathematical modeling.
Primarily a flood control facility, Prompton Dam is located in Prompton
Borough, Wayne County, Pennsylvania. The lake that it forms on the West
Branch Lackawaxen River extends into Clinton Township, also in Wayne
County. The project involves the widening of the spillway from 50 to 85
feet, constructing a fuse-plug in the spillway, upgrading the outlet
works rip-rap, and constructing an embankment with material that will
be excavated from the spillway. The project is located in the drainage
area of DRBC Special Protection Waters and the Upper Delaware Scenic
and Recreational River.
