Conference Room of the Commission's offices at 25 State Police Drive,
West Trenton, New Jersey.
An informal conference among the Commissioners and staff will be
held at 10 a.m. at the same location and will include discussion of

35th anniversary and an opportunity for public dialogue.
The subjects of the hearing will be as follows:

10.3, Article 11 and/or Section 3.8 of the Compact
1. Homestead Water Utility Co., Inc. D-81-73 CP RENEWAL-2. An
application for the renewal of a ground water withdrawal project to
supply up to 12.8 million gallons (mg)/30 days of water to the
applicant's distribution system from Well Nos. 1 and 2. Commission
approval on September 28, 1988 was limited to five years. The applicant
requests that the total withdrawal from all wells remain limited to
12.8 mg/30 days. The project is located in Mansfield Township,
Burlington County, New Jersey.
2. Delaware County Solid Waste Authority D-89-18 CP (Revised). An
application to revise the applicant's 0.08 million gallons per day
(mgd) capacity landfill leachate treatment plant project by relocation
of the proposed outfall, with effluent diffuser, to a point in Oley
Township, one mile further downstream on the Manatawny Creek than
previously considered for a total dissolved solids (TDS) determination
in Docket No. D-89-18 CP. A new TDS determination has been requested
for the new location. The tertiary treatment system will continue to
serve the Colebrookdale Landfill site situated along Schenkel Road in
Earl Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The Colebrookdale Landfill
accepts non-hazardous municipal solid wastes generated in Delaware and
Berks Counties, Pennsylvania.

existing withdrawal limit of 35.1 mg/30 days from all wells to 41 mg/30
days. The project is located in Logan Township, Gloucester County, New
Jersey.
4. Logan Township Municipal Utilities Authority D-95-7 CP. A
project to upgrade and expand the applicant's existing 1.0 mgd sewage
treatment plant (STP) to 2.0 mgd and provide service for growth in
portions of Logan and Woolrich Townships. The project STP is located in
the Township of Logan, Gloucester County, New Jersey, approximately
2,000 feet west of High Hill Road and just south of the Pennsylvania-
Reading Railroad right-of-way through Maple Swamp. The applicant's
discharge will continue to be on the Delaware River in Water Quality
Zone 4 via an existing outfall pipe.

entailing operation of an existing oil-fired steam turbine formerly
owned and operated by PECO Energy at the Schuylkill Generation Station
located on Christian Street on the east bank of the Schuylkill River in
the City of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The applicant will continue to
utilize PECO's existing intake and discharge facilities on the
Schuylkill River (which [[Page 32308]] will remain PECO's), sell steam
energy to the City of Philadelphia and electrical power to PECO. The
power facilities (55 megawatts) utilize approximately 7 mgd of water,
withdrawn from the Schuylkill River, of which approximately 1 percent
is consumptive.
7. KidsPeace Corporation, Inc. D-95-14. A project to expand an
existing 0.062 mgd STP to 0.15 mgd to serve the applicant's Orchard
Hills Camp in North Whitehall Township, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania.

days. The project, which will serve the Cabin Run and proposed Landis
Greene Estates residential communities, is located in Plumstead
Township, Bucks County, in the Southeastern Pennsylvania Ground Water
Protected Area.

application for operation of an existing 66 megawatt cogeneration plant
currently owned and operated by Scott Paper Company (Scott) to continue
to serve Scott's paper mill operation with both steam and electricity.
The applicant, CCLP, will continue to provide Scott's steam and
electricity needs, and will provide PECO with electric power not used
by Scott. No new withdrawal or discharge is proposed. CCLP will be
provided approximately 0.81 mgd of water via Scott's existing intake on
the Delaware River. Consumptive use will remain at approximately 0.36
mgd. The project is located in the City of Chester, Delaware County,
Pennsylvania.
10. Grays Ferry Cogeneration Partnership D-95-32. A proposed
cogeneration project to provide 173 megawatts of electric power
utilizing a combustion turbine and steam turbine. Steam energy will be
supplied to a steam host projected to be Trigen-Philadelphia Energy
Corporation, which distributes steam to buildings in the Philadelphia
area. Situated on a portion of the Schuylkill Generation Station
formerly owned by PECO, the project site is located at 2600 Christian
Street just east of the Schuylkill River in the City of Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. Electric power will be purchased by PECO. For once-
through cooling, the project will use up to 80 mgd of surface water
withdrawn via PECO's existing Schuylkill River intake and approximately
3.8 mgd of water supplied by the City of Philadelphia. Maximum
consumptive use is expected to be 0.24 mgd. Wastewaters will be
discharged to the Schuylkill River via PECO's existing discharge
facilities with no significant change expected in the discharge
characteristics.
Documents relating to these items may be examined at the
Commission's offices. Preliminary dockets are available in single
copies upon request. Please contact George C. Elias concerning docket-
