The Bangor district is divided into the Bangor main system, and the West Bangor system. SOURCE OF SUPPLY Supply to the Bangor main system is from multiple sources that flow to the Bangor Treatment plant prior to entering the distribution system. The treatment plant receives raw water from the 0.92 MG Lower Handelong Reservoir which is located adjacent to the plant and acts as a collecting basin for multiple raw water sources. The West Fork of Martin’s Creek flows into the Lower Handelong Reservoir, along with the Handelong Well #2 which pumps directly into the Lower Handelong Reservoir. Additionally, the Stofflet Well, Joseph Handelong Wells 1&2 and the Labar Well are all located offsite and are piped in a common pipeline to the Lower Handelong Reservoir. The Pritchard Well, the Getz Wells 1 and 2, the Oxford Reservoir and the Smith Reservoir are all located offsite and piped directly to the treatment plant in a common pipeline or can also be diverted to the Lower Handelong Reservoir if needed. Supply to the West Bangor service system is from six wells located just northwest of the village of West Bangor. The six (6) wells have a total permitted capacity of 0.289 MGD. The North Garibaldi Booster Station facilitates the transfer of water from the Bangor main service system into the West Bangor service system. This pump station will supplement the supply from the West Bangor wells when delivery from the wells is inadequate to meet system demands. TREATMENT The Bangor system is served by two (2) separate treatment plants, the Bangor Treatment plant and the West Bangor treatment plant. The Bangor Treatment Plant is located along Route 191 in Upper Mt. Bethel Township and has a reliable treatment capacity of 2.5 M.G.D. Raw water is transported from the Lower Handelong reservoir to the plant via 10" and 12” mains. Plant influent flow is measured and then chlorine, caustic soda, liquid alum, and a liquid polymer are all added prior to filtration. Treated water then flows into three (3) multi-media filter units designed to filter at a maximum rate of 3.2 million gallons per day.

    1226 RULES AND REGULATIONS Title 25—ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION [25 PA. CODE CH. 93] Corrective Amendment to 25 Pa. Code § 93.9j The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has discovered a discrepancy between the agency text of 25 Pa. Code § 93.9j (relating to Drainage List J) as deposited with the Legislative Reference Bureau (Bureau) and published at 32 Pa.B. 4695, 4699 (September 28, 2002) and the official text as published in the Pennsylvania Code Reporter (Master Transmittal Sheet No. 337, December 2002), and as currently appearing in the Pennsylvania Code. When the amendments made by the Department at 32 Pa.B. 4695 were codified, an entry for the Lackawanna River in Luzerne County and an unnamed tributary to it were never deleted as proposed. Therefore, under 45 Pa.C.S. § 901: The Department has deposited with the Bureau a corrective amendment to 25 Pa. Code § 93.9j. The corrective amendment to 25 Pa. Code § 93.9j is effective as of December 7, 2002, the date the defective official text was announced in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The correct version of 25 Pa. Code § 93.9j appears in Annex A, with ellipses referring to the existing text of the regulation. Annex A TITLE 25. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION PART I. DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Subpart C.

(100 words or less) The amendments to Chapter 93 reflect the list of recommended redesignations of streams as embedded in the attached Water Quality Standards Review Stream Redesignation Evaluation Report. The proposed regulation will update and revise stream use designations in 25 Pa. Code § 93.9d, 93.9f, 93.9j, 93.9k, 93.91, 93.9m, 93.9p, 93.9q, 93.9r, and 93.9t. These changes will not impose any new operating requirements on existing wastewater discharges or other existing activities regulated by the Department under existing permits or approvals. If a new, increased or additional discharge is proposed by a permit applicant, more stringent treatment requirements and enhanced best management practices (BMPs) may be necessary to maintain and protect the existing quality of those waters.
