constructed discharge cove in DRBC
Water Quality Zone 2. The 0.1 mgd LTP
serves the GROWS and Tullytown
Sanitary Landfills and is located off
Bordentown Road in Falls Township,
Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The LTP
utilizes best available treatment
technology to remove organic and
inorganic contaminants, with the
exception of total dissolved solids
(TDS). The docket holder has requested
that its docket be modified to allow an
interim average concentration of up to
15,000 milligrams per liter (mg/l) of

increase from the current limit of 10,000
mg/l as an average. Approximately
3,000 mg/l of TDS is added to the
leachate treatment process to facilitate
ammonia stripping, metals prescription
and sludge conditioning. The proposed
LTP discharge is expected to increase
background TDS in the estuary by less
than 0.5 percent. An environmental
study will be conducted to demonstrate
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:16 Sep 11, 2006
Jkt 208001
that no adverse impact will occur to
aquatic life in the discharge cove before
an application to increase the LTP
effluent TDS concentration to 19,100
mg/l is considered. The project involves
no expansion of the treatment facilities
or treatment capacity.
8. Mount Airy #1, LLC D–89–37–2. An
application for approval of a ground
water withdrawal project to supply up
to 9.5 mg/30 days of water to the
applicant’s distribution system from
new Wells Nos. 1 and 2. The project is
located in the Long Run Member of the
Catskill Formation in the Forest Hills
Run Watershed in Paradise Township,
Monroe County, Pennsylvania.
9. Town of Smyrna D–93–72 CP–2. An

Smyrna, Kent County, Delaware.
10. Degussa Corporation D–96–11–2.
An application to expand the industrial
waste treatment plant’s (IWTP) existing
discharge to the Delaware River from
0.95 mgd to 1.15 mgd. In conjunction
with the expanded discharge, the
applicant also has requested a new
determination of the IWTP’s allowable
Total Dissolved Solids limit. The
facility, which will continue to serve
only the applicant’s silica production
operations, is located in the City of
Chester, Delaware County,
Pennsylvania.
11. Moyer Packing, Rendering and
Beef Facility D–96–21–2. An application
to re-establish the DRBC’s industrial
wastewater treatment plant (IWTP)
effluent Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
determination of 3,100 mg/l, issued to
Moyer Packing Company (MOPAC) in
1985. The TDS determination was later
replaced by an osmotic pressure limit
contained in the facility’s NPDES
Permit. DRBC staff has determined that
the effluent TDS limit of 3,100 mg/l is
not protective of a downstream
agricultural use and is recommending
that the Commission rescind the TDS
limit currently in effect and impose the
Commission’s basinwide TDS standard
of 1000 mg/l, unless the applicant
provides the downstream irrigation user
with an alternative water source. No
increase of MOPAC’s 0.75 mgd IWTP
capacity is proposed. The IWTP will
continue to serve only the MOPAC meat
packing and rendering facility, which is
located in Franconia Township,

metals prescription and sludge conditioning. The proposed LTP discharge
is expected to increase background TDS in the estuary by less than 0.5
percent. An environmental study will be conducted to demonstrate that
no adverse impact will occur to aquatic life in the discharge cove
before an application to increase the LTP effluent TDS concentration to
19,100 mg/l is considered. The project involves no expansion of the
treatment facilities or treatment capacity.
8. Mount Airy #1, LLC D-89-37-2. An application for approval of a
ground water withdrawal project to supply up to 9.5 mg/30 days of water
to the applicant's distribution system from new Wells Nos. 1 and 2. The

10. Degussa Corporation D-96-11-2. An application to expand the
industrial waste treatment plant's (IWTP) existing discharge to the
Delaware River from 0.95 mgd to 1.15 mgd. In conjunction with the
expanded discharge, the applicant also has requested a new
determination of the IWTP's allowable Total Dissolved Solids limit. The
facility, which will continue to serve only the applicant's silica
production operations, is located in the City of Chester, Delaware
County, Pennsylvania.
11. Moyer Packing, Rendering and Beef Facility D-96-21-2. An
application to re-establish the DRBC's industrial wastewater treatment
plant (IWTP) effluent Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) determination of
3,100 mg/l, issued to Moyer Packing Company (MOPAC) in 1985. The TDS
determination was later replaced by an osmotic pressure limit contained
in the facility's NPDES Permit. DRBC staff has determined that the
effluent TDS limit of 3,100 mg/l is not protective of a downstream
agricultural use and is recommending that the Commission rescind the
TDS limit currently in effect and impose the Commission's basinwide TDS
standard of 1000 mg/l, unless the applicant provides the downstream
irrigation user with an alternative water source. No increase of
MOPAC's 0.75 mgd IWTP capacity is proposed. The IWTP will continue to
serve only the MOPAC meat packing and rendering facility, which is
located in Franconia Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. IWTP
