Schuylkill River. The facility is located
in Lower Frederick Township,
Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
7. West Grove Borough Authority D–
87–24 CP–2. An application for approval

modification to include an additional
well that will transfer approximately 0.6
mg/30 days of ground water from the
Susquehanna River Basin to the
Delaware River Basin. The transferred
water will be distributed within the
project service area and, with the
exception of some operational loss, will
be returned to the Susquehanna River
Basin as wastewater. In periods of
increased service area demand, the
Authority will transfer as much as 4.56
mg/30 days of ground water from the
Susquehanna Basin into the Delaware
Basin, and wastewater exportation will
increase to as much as 4.35 mg/30 days.
The project is located in Butler, Cass,
Foster and New Castle townships,
Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. A
Notice of Application Received (NAR)
was issued for this project on February
10, 2009. This second NAR has been
revised to reflect an increase in the
amount of wastewater proposed to be
exported from the basin.
9. Pennsylvania American Water
Company D–91–14–2. The purpose of
this project is to change the treatment
technology at the docket holder’s
WWTP from a Rotating Biological

capacity of 0.6 mgd is proposed, and the
discharge will continue to be conveyed
to infiltration basins in the South
Branch Rancocas Creek Watershed. The
treatment plant will continue to serve
the Kings Grant section of Evesham
Township, Burlington County, New

approval of modifications to the Borough of West Grove's WWTP. The
applicant proposes to upgrade the facility's contact aeration basin
system, including the installation of a sewage grinder and return
activated sludge lines, and the replacement of biological media and
aeration diffusers. The facility's annual average flow of 0.250 mgd and
hydraulic design capacity of 0.288 mgd will remain unchanged. The WWTP
will continue to discharge to the Middle Branch White Clay Creek, a
tributary of the Christina River. The facility is located in London
Grove Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania.
8. Schuylkill County Municipal Authority D-90-49 CP-4. An
application for approval of a docket modification to include an
additional well that will transfer approximately 0.6 mg/30 days of
ground water from the Susquehanna River Basin to the Delaware River
Basin. The transferred water will be distributed within the project
service area and, with the exception of some operational loss, will be
returned to the Susquehanna River Basin as wastewater. In periods of
increased service area demand, the Authority will transfer as much as
4.56 mg/30 days of ground water from the Susquehanna Basin into the
Delaware Basin, and wastewater exportation will increase to as much as
4.35 mg/30 days. The project is located in Butler, Cass, Foster and New
Castle townships, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. A Notice of
Application Received (NAR) was issued for this project on February 10,
2009. This second NAR has been revised to reflect an increase in the
amount of wastewater proposed to be exported from the basin.
9. Pennsylvania American Water Company D-91-14-2. The purpose of
this project is to change the treatment technology at the docket
holder's WWTP from a Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) to a
Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR). Additionally, the existing WWTP has a
hydraulic design capacity of 0.135 mgd. The docket holder's NPDES
permit has effluent limits based upon a 0.275 mgd discharge. The docket
holder is seeking DRBC approval for expansion to 0.275 mgd. The project
is located approximately 2000 feet east of Blue Mountain Lake and
approximately 500 feet west of the Smithfield Township line in DRBC
Water Quality Zone 1D at River Mile 213.0-5.3-2.9 (Delaware River--
Brodhead Creek--Sambo Creek). Sambo Creek is a tributary of the section
of the non-tidal Delaware River known as the Middle Delaware, which is
designated as Special Protection Waters with the classification
Outstanding Basin Waters.
10. Evesham Municipal Utilities Authority D-91-15 CP-2. An
application to upgrade the Kings Grant wastewater treatment plant to
replace treatment process tanks nearing the end of their useful life
with a more cost effective and efficient treatment process. No increase
in the existing permitted capacity of 0.6 mgd is proposed, and the
discharge will continue to be conveyed to infiltration basins in the
South Branch Rancocas Creek Watershed. The treatment plant will
continue to serve the Kings Grant section of Evesham Township,
Burlington County, New Jersey.
11. Shoemakersville D-93-74 CP-2. The purpose of this project is to
recognize the increase in capacity of the Shoemakersville WWTP's
hydraulic load from 0.60 mgd to 0.75 mgd. Additionally, a TDS
determination was submitted, requesting approval of monthly average and
instantaneous maximum concentration values of 2,131 mg/l and 3,844 mg/
l, respectively. The project is located on the Schuylkill River at
River Mile 92.47--92.3, in the Borough of Shoemakersville, Berks
County, Pennsylvania.
12. Town of Georgetown D-94-37 CP-2. An application for the renewal
of a ground water withdrawal project and to increase the withdrawal
from 24.8 mg/30 days to 43.2 mg/30 days to supply the applicant's
public water supply distribution system from existing wells nos. 1, 1A
and 2R in the Columbia and Manokin Formations. The project involves the
exportation of water from the Delaware Basin, and the exportation of
100 percent of the wastewater generated by in-basin needs. The ground
water withdrawal project is located in the Broadkill-Smyrna Watershed
in the Town of Georgetown, Sussex County, Delaware.
13. East Penn Manufacturing D-2003-23-2. An application for
approval of a ground water withdrawal project to supply up to 21.6 mg/
30 days of water to the applicant's on-site industrial plant processes
and potable supply from new Well No. 10 and to increase the existing
withdrawal from all wells from 15 mg/30 days to 20 mg/30 days. The
increased allocation is requested in order to meet projected increases
in production facility needs and to provide redundancy within the water
supply system. The project well is located in the Leithsville Formation
in the Moselem Creek Watershed in Richmond Township, Berks County,
Pennsylvania.
14. West Deptford Energy Station D-2008-27-1. An application to
approve the cooling water withdrawal and industrial wastewater
discharge associated with the construction of a new gas fired, 1,500
megawatt combined cycle power generation facility known as the West
Deptford Energy Station (WDES). The WDES will withdraw an average of
222.6 mg/30 days and maximum of 287.7 mg/30 days of treated effluent
from the Gloucester County Utilities Authority (GCUA) wastewater
treatment plant's effluent pipeline as a cooling water source. The WDES
will also discharge a monthly average of 2.0 mgd (2.6 mgd daily
maximum) of industrial wastewater back to GCUA's existing effluent
pipeline (WDES Outfall No. DSN002A) and the two combined effluents will
discharge from GCUA's existing outfall (No. DSN001A). The facility is
located
[[Page 18364]]

of an existing ground and surface water withdrawal project to continue
to supply up to 215 mg/30 days of water to the applicant's industrial
facility from existing Well No. 1 and Intake No. 1. The project is
located in the Cohansey Formation in the Rancocas Creek Watershed in
Woodland Township, Burlington County, New Jersey.
