  5. Aqua Pennsylvania, Inc., D-2003-033 CP-3.  An application to renew the approval of an existing groundwater withdrawal with an increase in allocation from 24.13 million gallons per month (mgm) to 26.24 mgm from 11 existing wells for the purpose of public water supply. The wells are completed in felsic gneiss, intermediate gneiss and graphitic gneiss within the West Branch Brandywine and East Branch Brandywine Watersheds, in East Brandywine, West Brandywine and Honey Brook Townships, Chester County, Pennsylvania.

  6. Green Walk Trout Hatchery, Inc., D-2006-008-3.  An application to renew the approval of an existing groundwater withdrawal of up to 13.392 mgm to supply the applicant's trout hatchery from existing Wells W-2, W-5 and W-6. The project wells are screened in the unconsolidated deposits overlying the Martinsburg Formation. The requested allocation is not an increase from the previous allocation. The project wells are located in the Waltz Creek Watershed in Washington Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania within the drainage area of the section of the main stem Delaware River known as the Lower Delaware which the Commission has classified as Special Protection Waters.

  7. Camp Lohikan, D-2009-024-4.  An application to renew the approval of the applicant's existing 0.03 mgd WWTP and its land discharge via spray irrigation. Treated effluent will continue to be spray irrigated to two spray fields located in the Equinunk Creek watershed, within the drainage area to the section of the main stem Delaware River known as the Upper Delaware, which the Commission has classified as Special Protection Waters, in Buckingham Township, Wayne County, Pennsylvania.

  8. Parkland School District, D-2013-007 CP-3.  An application to approve the applicant's proposed construction project of two (2) new sequencing batch reactors (SBR), new tertiary filter, new ultraviolet disinfection and ancillary equipment to increase the design hydraulic capacty to 55,000 gpd average (0.55 mgd), 82,500 gpd (0.0825 mgd) peak, and organic capacity to 80 lbs/day CBOD5. Currently, the WWTP is not able to meet its current NPDES Permit limits for total nitrogen due to an increased organic and hydraulic loading to the WWTP that currently exceeds the original design. The WWTP will continue to discharge treated effluent into Jordan Creek, a tributary of the Lehigh River, at River Mile 183.7 - 16.3 - 8.6 (Delaware River - Lehigh River - Jordan Creek), via Outfall No. 001, located in South Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, within the drainage area of the section of the non-tidal Delaware River known as the Lower Delaware, which is classified as Special Protection Waters.
