combined rate of 130 and 200 gpm, respectively, as described in Docket 
No. D-93-34(G). The water withdrawn will be treated by filtration, 
ultra-violet peroxidation and air-stripping prior to return to the 
ground water via large diameter recharge wells, as described in Docket 
D-93-34(D). The project is located in the City of Millville, Cumberland 
County, New Jersey.
    8. Ashland Chemical Inc. D-93-48. An application to replace the

suspended solids in the treated effluent. The IWTP serves only the 
applicant's licorice extract manufacturing operations at the plant site 
located on Jefferson Avenue between 3rd Street and the Delaware River 
in the City of Camden, Camden County, New Jersey. The treated effluent 
will continue to discharge to the Delaware River via the existing

    10. Lake Adventure Community Association D-93-62. A project to 
upgrade and expand the applicant's existing 0.065 mgd secondary sewage

will be discontinued. The existing spray irrigation system will 
continue in use but with the addition of a seasonal alternate surface 
water discharge (primarily for winter discharge) to an unnamed 
tributary in the Birchy Creek Watershed in Dingman Township, Pike 
County, Pennsylvania. The proposed STP will continue to serve the 
applicant's residential development in Dingman Township situated 
approximately one-half mile south of Interstate Route 84 and near the 
western boundary of Dingman Township.
    11. Sun Pipe Line Company D-93-64. A project to construct a 
petroleum products pipeline which will cross the Delaware River between 
Paulsboro Borough, Gloucester County, New Jersey and Tinicum Township, 
Delaware County, Pennsylvania. There will also be a crossing of the 
Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, just north of 
Interstate Route 95 and a crossing of Raccoon Creek in Logan Township, 
Gloucester County, New Jersey. All crossings will be done via 
directional drilling with no excavation in the river beds. The proposed 
crossings will provide interconnections for a 21-mile length of 
petroleum product pipeline serving Sun Oil Company's Marcus Hook and 
Philadelphia refineries.
