2. DEFINITIONS 

a. "Bypass" means the intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility. 

b. "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities 

which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and pennanent loss of natural resources which can 

reasonably be expected to occur in the. absence of a bypass. Severe property damage does not mean 

economic loss caused by delays in production. 

c. "Daily discharge" means the "discharge of a pollutant" measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour 

period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants with limitations 

expressed in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged 

over the day. For polJutants with limitations expressed in other units of measurement, the "daily discharge" 

is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. 

d. "A verage" refers to the use of an arithmetic mean, unless otherwise specified in this permit. 

e. "Geometric average (mean)" means the average of a set of n sample results given by the nth root of their 

product. 

f. "Average monthly discharge limitation" means the highest allowable average of "daily discharge" over a 

calendar month, calculated as the sum of all "daily discharge" measured during a calendar month divided by 

the number of "daily discharge" measured during that month. 

g. "Average weekly discharge limitation" means the highest alJowable average of "daily discharge" over a 

calendar week, calculated as the sum of all "daily discharge" measured during a calendar week divided by 

the number of "daily discharge" measured during, that week. 

h. "Maximum daily discharge limitation" means the highest allowable "daily discharge." 

1. "Maximum any time" (or instantaneous maximum) means the concentration not to be exceeded at any time 

in any grab sample. 

j. "Composite sample" (for all except GCIMS volatile organic analysis) means a combination of at least 8 

individual samples of at least 100 milliliters collected manually or automatically at periodic intervals during 

the operating hours of a facility over a 24 hour period. The composite must be flow-proportional; either the 

volume of each individual sample is proportional to discharge flow rates, or the sampling interval (for 

constant volume samples) is proportional to the flow rates over'the time period used to produce the 

composite. 

"Composite sample for GClMS volatile organic analysis" consists of at least four (rather than eight) aliquots 

or grab samples collected during actual hours of discharge over a 24 hour period and need not be flow 

proportioned. The four samples are composited in the laboratory immediately before analysis, and only one 

analysis performed. ' 

The maximum time period between individual samples used for any "composite sample" shall not exceed 

two hours, except that for wastes of a uniform nature the samples may be collected on a frequency of at least 

twice per working shift and shall be equally spaced over a 24-hour period (or over the operating day if flows 

are of a shorter duration).

13. Toxics Reduction Evaluation (TRE) 

Page 14g of 14 

Permit PA0004472 

A. Preliminary Water Quality Based Effluent Limitations (PWQBELs) 

1. Based on the discharge and stream data currently available to the Department, the 

PWQBELs denoted with an asterisk (*) on page 2dd of 14 are necessary to protect 

the receiving stream uses designated in Chapter 93 of the Department's Rules and 

regulations. The Final WQBELs denoted with a double asterisk (**) on page 2dd 

of 14 were developed based on sufficient discharge and stream data, and further 

site-specific data collection is not necessary. Therefore Sections A.2, C.2 and C.3 

below do not apply to the ** parameters on page 2dd of 14. 

2. Within 60 days of the permit effective date (PED), the permittee must submit 

notification to the Department verifying one of the following options has been 

selected: 

a. The permittee accepts the Department's modeling which was the basis for 

the PWQBEL's and will not proceed with the optional site-specific data 

collection activities described in C.2 and C.3 below. In this case, the 

PWQBELs on page 2dd of 14 will be considered final and enforceable 

within three years ofPED as currently shown on page 2dd of 14, and 

should be used as the basis for Phase II of the TRE. 

or 

b. The permittee agrees to conduct the optional site-specific discharge or 

stream data collection described in C.2 or C.3 below that would provide 

the Department with data for use in verifying and refining the PWQBELs. 

In this case, the PWQBELs on page 2dd of 14 would not go into effect 

until the Department modifies the permit. The permittee will be notified 

of the results of the PhaSe I review, at which time the permittee can 

proceed with Phase II. 

If the permittee fails to select one of these options within 60 days of the PED, 

option "a" is selected by default. 

3. In either case, the Permittee must conduct a TRE as outlined below. Phase I of the 

TRE has both required and optional components. The Department will review the 

Phase I report and may establish final WQBELs and compliance schedules through 

a permit modification. Any such permit modification shall be considered a formal

permitting action by the Department. The permittee shall submit progress reports to 

the Department as shown on the TRE schedule below outlining the progress being 

made to achieve the final WQBELs and/or modify the PWQBELS. 

B. TRE Submission Requirements 

1. The TRE shall be developed to: 

a. confirm and quantify the presence of the pollutants in the discharge with 

PWQBELs. 

b. verify or refine the modeling data and/or assumptions used to develop the 

PWQBELs. 

c. identify sources of the pollutants with final WQBELs or PWQBELS. 

d. recommend management practices, wastewater treatment technologies, or 

other control techniques to reduce or eliminate these pollutants.

C. Phase I 

Page 14i of 14 

Permit PA0004472 

1. The permittee is required to submit Phase I of the TRE consisting of the following 

components: 

a. influent and effluent quality review 

b. source inventory and evaluation 

c. source reduction evaluation 

d. implementation of pollution prevention, sound housekeeping practices, and 

other management practices in accordance with 40 CFR 125 Subpart K. 

2. The permittee has the option of providing all or some of the following sitespecific data as part of Phase I for use in verifying and refining the PWQBELs: 

- discharge hardness 

- discharge pollutant concentration and variability 

- design discharge flow 

-discharge mixing characteristics 

- pollutant fate characteristics 

- stream width, depth and slope 

- stream velocity 

- ambient stream data for pollutants, pH, temperature 

- instream hardness 

- water intake quality and quantity 

- treatment plant influent pollutant concentrations 

- chemical translators 

- Water Effects Ratio (WER) 

The permittee should contact the Department for guidance in determining which 

of the above data will have a significant impact on the PWQBELs and also for 

protocols on collecting and submitting the data. The Department will determine 

the adequacy of any site-specific data submitted and advise the permittee 

accordingly. If initial review of the submitted data suggests that additional data 

collection is necessary, the Department will so advise the permittee. The 

Department will notify the permittee what effect, if any, the data have on the 

PWQBELs using the procedure outlined in A.3 above. 
PARTe 

3. Site-Specific Criteria 

Page 14j of 14 

Pennit PA0004472 

The PWQBELs for benzo( a)pyrene are necessary for the protection of aquatic 

life. The pennittee may request an opportunity to demonstrate alternative, sitespecific criteria for these pollutants. The procedures for carrying out such 

demonstrations must receive written approval in advance by the Department and 

must be in accordance with the requirements of Section 93.8 of the Departments 

Rules and Regulations. 

If the pennittee chooses this option, requests for alternative, site-specific criteria 

must be submitted to the Department as part of the Phase I TRE report. Where the 

demonstration results in more stringent limitations than those previously 

established by the Department, the more stringent limitation will apply. Any less 

stringent limitations which are approved by the Department shall not violate 

applicable water criteria for the protection of human health. 

4. Alternative Site Specific Method Detection Limits (MDL) 

In some cases, the PWQBEL may be less than the Method Detection Level 

(MDL) in the Department's Policy, 25 PA Code 16. In this event, the pennittee 

has the option to demonstrate alternative, facility-specific MDLs to account for 

analytical matrix interference associated with the wastewater in question. The 

procedures for detennining MDLs, published as Appendix B in 40 CFR 136 must 

be followed and complete documentation provided. The request for approval of 

alternative facility-specific MDLs including all documentation required to support 

such a request must be submitted to the Department with the Phase I TRE report. 

The Department may grant a facility specific MDL by specifying "not detectable" 

as a WQBEL and including the numeric alternate MDL value for compliance 

purposes through the pennit modification or renewal process. 

D. Phase II 

The pennittee should not proceed with Phase II until notified by the Department to do so. 

Depending on the results of Phase I the PWQBELs may need to be modified or Phase II 

may not be necessary. 

1. Source Reduction Evaluation 

In addition to those items in C.1 above, as part of Phase II, the pennittee must 

conduct source reduction evaluations including recycle, reuse, and process! 

chemical substitution. The intent of this portion of the TRE is to investigate and 

implement all low-cost, non-structural alternatives to reduce pollutants. 
PARTC Page 14k of 14 

Permit PA0004472 

2. Final WOBEL Compliance Strategies and Schedule 

A complete TRE report must consist of identification and assessment of all 

available pollution control options (Best Management Practices and/or treatment 

technologies and other structural alternatives) and their ability to comply with the 

PWQBELs and/or fmal WQBELs on page 2dd of 14 or other WQBELs identified 

in response to Phase I. The permittee must select a specific pollution control 

option that will achieve the applicable WQBELs and specify a schedule for the 

implementation of this option. 

3. Section 95.4 Time Extension Requests 

In some cases, the fmal WQBEL may not be technologically achievable using any 

combination of control options. In this event, the permittee has the option of 

requesting an extension of time to achieve the WQBEL, provided the permittee 

demonstrates eligibility for time extension under the requirements contained in 

25 Pa. Code 95> Section 95.4 of the Department's Rules and Regulations. If the 

permittee elects to submit the 95.4 time extension request, the request must be 

submitted with Phase II of the TRE report. Forms are available from the 

Department to be used for any such requests. 

14. Outfalls 035> 045A and 057 on page 2d shall be sampled once per year for the parameters listed 

on the enclosed Data Reporting Form. The results shall be submitted to the DepartmentAttention Permits Chief within 60 days of the anniversary date of this permit on a copy of the 

Data Reporting Form. 

For the steam condensate outfalls listed on pages 2b and 2c> one outfall shall be selected as 

representative and only one sample needs to be collected over the life of this permit. The results 

shall be submitted to the Department within six months after permit effective date. 

15. Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) Minimization 

The permittee will ensure that applied chlorine dosages, used for disinfection or other purposes, 

are optimized to the degree necessary such that the total residual chlorine in the discharge does 

not cause an adverse stream impact. In doing so, the permittee shall consider relevant factors 

affecting chlorine dosage, such as wastewater characteristics, mixing and contact times, desired 

result of chlorination, and expected impact on the receiving water body. 

To reduce or eliminate the amount of chlorine discharged into water bodies, the permittee must: 

(1) improve/adjust process controls and (2) improve operation/maintenance practices. 

If the Department determines or receives documented evidence levels of TRC in the permittee's 

effluent are causing adverse impacts in the receiving water, the permittee shall institute necessary 

additional steps to reduce or eliminate such impact. 
PARTe Page 141 of 14 

Pennit PA00044 72 

16. Any overflow, increase in volume of a discharge or discharge from a bypass system caused by 

precipitation or snowmelt equal to or greater than the volume of runoff associated with 10 year24 hour event shall not be subject to the limitations set forth for Outfalls 091 and 011 except pH. 

This exemption shall be available only if the facility is designed, constructed and maintained to 

contain or treat the volume of water which would fallon the areas covered by this pennit during 

a 10-year 24-hour or larger precipitation event (or snowmelt of equivalent volume). The 

pennittee shall have the burden of demonstrating that the prerequisites to this exemption have 

been met. 

17. The pennittee may submit a request to amend this pennit to change the monitoring frequency 

and remove the effiuent limits for Outfall 091, if after four consecutive quarters of sampling, oil 

and grease, benzene, and naphthalene are not detected in any of the samples, and suspended 

solids are below 100 mg/l. 

18. Samples for oil and grease and benzene at Outfall 183 shall be collected as 3 grabs per 24 hour 

period. The individual samples shall be analyzed and mathematically composited to detennine 

compliance with the maximum daily limitation for mass. The pennittee is not required to report 

the individual results.
