Public water supply storage has been provided in Hibernia Reservoir and water will be released to Birch Run, a tributary of west branch Brandywine Creek on which Hibernia Dam is located, to compensate for the project withdrawal during periods of low flow. The STP is situated approximately 2,000 feet west of the Pennsylvania Turnpike Extension and just off Schneck Road in North Whitehall Township. The STP will discharge to an unnamed tributary of Coplay Creek in the Lehigh River watershed after providing advanced secondary biological treatment with a modified extended aeration activated sludge process followed by tertiary filtration and disinfection by chlorine contact. Surface water is used for irrigation and the increase will serve expanded operations of the applicant's facility, including a ten-hole short course, turf nurseries and several practice areas. Documents relating to these items may be examined at the Commission's offices.
