The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State operating permit and Title V operating permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.
Notice is hereby given that the Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities. Although the sources covered by these applications may be located at a major facility, the sources being installed or modified do not trigger major new source review or prevention of significant deterioration requirements.
Persons wishing to file protests or comments on the proposed plan approval and/or operating permits must submit the protest or comment within 30 days from the date of this notice. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with the Department Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior to the date of the hearing.

Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, Southcentral Region, 909 Elmerton Ave., Harrisburg, PA 17110-8200.
Location: Snyder Township, Blair County, R. D. 3, Box 119, Tyrone, PA 16686.
The approved plan provided for extension of public sewer service from the existing Northern Blair County Sewer Authority system into the Bald Eagle and Vail areas of Snyder Township. The collection system will include three pump stations, force mains and an interceptor. The Department's review of the sewage facilities update revision has not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal. Any required NPDES Permits or WQM Permits must be obtained in the name of the municipality or authority as appropriate.
Location: Bedford Township, Bedford County, R. D. 1, Box 148, Bedford, PA 15522.
The plan is disapproved because Bedford Township failed to address the remaining nine plan deficiencies identified in the Department's letter dated May 13, 1989. As discussed in the Department's August 18, 1997 letter and again in a March 13, 1998 letter, failure to respond within specified time frames would result in plan disapproval. No response was received from Bedford Township. The plan deficiencies are listed as follows.
1. Section 9E of the Onlot Management Ordinance indicates that septic tanks could be put ahead of cesspools and that cesspools would otherwise be pumped. Cesspools are not adequate onlot sewage disposal systems and should be replaced with septic systems meeting Chapter 73 regulations. Issuance of a permit for a septic tank discharging to a cesspool is inconsistent with Chapter 73 regulations. It is suggested you inspect homes with cesspools and if malfunctioning, require that they be replaced with a septic system meeting Chapter 73 regulations. Also, the Department will not and cannot under current law issue permits for untreated or partially treated effluent to any waterway as per Section 10A of the ordinance. It is suggested this be changed to no discharges to the waters of this Commonwealth will be permitted except under permit by the Department of Environmental Protection. Please properly modify these sections of the ordinances.
2. There is no set implementation date for the proposed Onlot Management Districts and the proposed capped sewer ordinance. Please indicate when these will take effect. Please provide dates when these ordinances will take effect.
3. The addendum of March 1989 was not adopted by the municipality, please adopt this document prior to its resubmission. Please provide a completed resolution of adoption.
4. The implementation schedule does not indicate how the projects will be funded and the sources of financing were not indicated. Please provide this information.
5. Table SSA shows a list of 13 need areas, alternatives and Estimated User Cost. Table TTA shows an implementation schedule for 5 need areas. What is proposed for the other 8 areas? Needs not cost must dictate priorities. Please address.
6. Needs documentation is not substantiated by the plan. There were no surveys of the existing onlot systems, there were no indication of where onlot repairs were permitted and whether these repairs meet Chapter 73 standards or utilized best technical guidance, where cesspools, seepage pits and other inadequate means of sewage disposal exists, and where complaints were received about sewage malfunctions. Please provide this documentation.
7. There is no analysis of the groundwater sampling received. Where problems now exist or in marginal areas of groundwater quality, what requirements will the municipality place on new land development? Please address.
8. How membership in the OLMD will be required is not clear. How will this be enforced? Please clarify.
9. The sewage agreements with Bedford Borough only covers the Turnpike/City Industrial Park Collection System. What about agreements for other areas of the Township? Please provide these agreements.
