existing sequencing batch reactor plant will be supplemented by a 0.1 
mgd biologically engineered single sludge treatment system, which is a 
modification of the conventional activated sludge process. The existing 
chlorine disinfection system will be replaced by an ultraviolet light 
system and the existing headworks will be replaced by a new Rotomat 
unit. The project is located off the intersection of Main Street and 
Wolf Creek Road in Upper Bern Township upstream from Blue Marsh 
Reservoir in the Tulpehocken Creek Watershed. The WWTP will continue to

    19. Mirant NY-Gen, LLC D-2001-38 CP-1. An application for approval 
of the continued operation and remediated control measures of the 
applicant's Mongaup hydropower and reservoir system. The project is 
located in the Mongaup River Watershed in Orange and Sullivan Counties, 
New York in the drainage area of the Upper Delaware portion of DRBC's 
Special Protection Waters. The project facilities include the Toronto, 
Cliff Lake and Swinging Bridge Reservoirs, the latter of which provides 
hydroelectric power and receives flows from the former. In addition, 
the applicant makes releases from and generates hydroelectric power via 
its Mongaup Falls and Rio Reservoir facilities, also in the Mongaup 
River Basin. This application modifies an application originally 
noticed on August 20, 2001, which requested approval of an operating 
plan for the applicant's Mongaup hydropower and reservoir system. 
Mirant's Swinging Bridge Reservoir has two powerhouses (Units No. 1 and 
2). The modified application includes eliminating the use of Unit No. 1 
by filling the gate tower, penstock and tunnel with lightweight 
concrete. As a result, Unit No. 2 operating time is proposed to be 
increased from 13% to 30% and to use approximately 97% of the available 
inflow to the site, with only minor losses of power generation 
capability. Remedial control measures, including sinkhole back-filling, 
filter installation to stabilize material movement, and the conduit-
related grouting, are being undertaken with the approval of the Federal 
Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to provide structural repair at the 
dam, which had undergone subsidence. Mirant determined that complete 
filling of the conduit would further assure that future subsidence 
would not recur. Mirant applied for an Emergency Certificate from DRBC 
to implement the Swinging Bridge Dam modification project in an 
expeditious manner. The Emergency Certificate was approved by the DRBC 
on February 13, 2007. The project will not change reservoir volumes or 
affect reservoir level maintenance, and will not change the regulated 
flow from the Mongaup River System to the Delaware River.
    20. Pocono Manor Investors, LP. D-2006-26-1. An application for 
approval of the existing Pocono Manor Resort WWTP discharge of 0.140 
mgd. The WWTP will continue to discharge to Swiftwater Creek, which is 
a tributary to the Brodhead Creek. The Brodhead Creek is a tributary to 
the Middle Delaware River Special Protection Waters. The facility is 
located in Pocono Township, and currently serves Pocono Manor Village 
and the Pocono Manor Inn. The facility was built to service the 3,000 
acre Pocono Manor property that is located in Pocono Township, Mount 
Pocono Borough and Tobyhanna Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania.
    21. Alcan Global Pharmaceutical Packing, Inc. D-2006-30-1. An 
application for the approval of the existing discharge from the 
applicant's Millville Tube Drawing facility. The facility discharges 
84,500 gpd of contact and non-contact cooling water to Petticoat 
Stream, which is a tributary of the Maurice River. The facility 
manufactures pressed and blown glassware, and cooling water is used to 
cool the glass furnace and compressors. The facility is located in 
Millville City, Cumberland County, New Jersey.
    22. Hudson Valley Foie Gras, LLC D-2006-37-1. An application for 
approval to increase an existing discharge from the applicant's WWTP 
from 4,000 gpd to 20,000 gpd. The WWTP will continue to discharge to 
the Middle Mongaup River, which is a tributary of the Mongaup River. 
The Mongaup River is a tributary to the Upper Delaware River which is 
designated as Special Protection Waters. The facility is located in 
Ferndale, Sullivan County, New York.
    23. Joshmor, Inc. D-2007-5-1. An application for approval to 
construct a 0.047 mgd WWTP to serve 207 single family homes in the 
proposed Emerson Chase Development. The project is located in the

County, Pennsylvania. Following treatment in a

[[Page 19890]]

3-cell lagoon and a filter system, disinfected effluent will be spray 
applied to approximately 13 acres of adjacent woodland in the drainage 
area of the Middle Delaware portion of DRBC's Special Protection 
Waters. Because the proposed lagoon will be lined with synthetic 
material and will provide up to 177 days of storage, no discharge to 
McMichael Creek is proposed.
    24. Golden Pheasant Golf Course D-2007-9-1. An application for 
approval of a surface water withdrawal project to supply up to 15.4 mg/
30 days of water to the applicant's golf course irrigation system from

to Outfall 001A. The applicant also discharges to Cub Swamp, a 
tributary of Dividing Creek, through Outfall 002A during 10-year storm 
events. The facility is located in the tidal Delaware Bay Watershed in 
Commercial and Downe townships, Cumberland County, New Jersey.
