1. Philadelphia Suburban Water

Company D–98–11 CP. An application

to withdraw up to 4.0 million gallons

per day (mgd) from East Branch

Brandywine Creek for public water

supply when stream flow exceeds 25

River at Chadds Ford. The applicant

proposes to serve East Brandywine and

West Brandywine Townships, and

potentially, Wallace Township, all in

Chester County, Pennsylvania. The

intake will be situated on the east bank

of the East Branch Brandywine Creek

just south of Marshall Road in Wallace

Township. On an annual average use

basis, withdrawal is expected to average

approximately 0.76 mgd. When

available, the raw water will be

conveyed for storage in a nearby

abandoned quarry (known as Cornog

Quarry) with an estimated storage

capacity of approximately 100 million

gallons. Withdrawals ranging from 0.5

mgd to 1.0 mgd will then be made from

the quarry, treated by a proposed new

filter plant, and distributed to the

project service area.

Sewer Authority D–98–48 CP. A project

to rerate the applicant’s existing sewage

treatment plant (STP) from an annual

average 7.0 mgd flow to 7.173 mgd; the

maximum monthly flow rate will be

9.08 mgd. The additional capacity is

needed due to growth within the

existing service area of the Borough of

Hatboro and portions of Horsham,

Upper Dublin and Upper Moreland

Townships, Montgomery County,

Pennsylvania, and a portion of

Warminster Township, Bucks County,

Pennsylvania. The STP will continue to

nominal 500 megawatt natural gas-fired

electric power plant to be located on a

25.5 acre site between Route 291 and

primarily supply the PennsylvaniaJersey-Maryland grid. The Philadelphia

Suburban Water Company will supply

up to 6 mgd of water to the facility; and

the applicant projects up to 4.7 mgd will

be consumed. Approximately 1.3 mgd of

process and sanitary wastewater will be

conveyed to the DELCORA sewerage

system which discharges to the

Delaware River in Water Quality Zone 4.

application to upgrade and expand the

applicant’s existing 0.07 mgd secondary

treatment STP to provide tertiary

treatment of 0.125 mgd to four

retirement communities in Kennett and

Pennsbury Townships, Chester County,

Pennsylvania. Effluent will continue to

be applied to the applicant’s existing

nine-acre spray field and a proposed

additional spray irrigation site located

approximately one-quarter mile east of

State Routes 1 and 52 in Kennett

Township. However, during the months

of November through April, effluent

will be discharged to an unnamed

tributary of Bennetts Run in the

Brandywine Creek watershed.

7. Philadelphia Suburban Water

Company D–99–69 CP. An application

to transfer up to 9.5 mgd of potable

water to the applicant’s public water

distribution system via an

interconnection with the City of

Philadelphia Water Department. The

provide an additional source of water to

serve projected demand in its Southern

Division service area. The proposed

Philadelphia-Delaware County border

off the Interstate 95 and State Route 291

interchange near the Philadelphia
