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 
proposed Delaware Estuary toxics management issues, plans for DRBC's 
35th anniversary and an opportunity for public dialogue.
    The subjects of the hearing will be as follows:

Applications for Approval of the Following Projects Pursuant to Article 
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.
    3. Logan Wells Water Company D-94-38 CP. An application for

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

entailing operation of an existing oil-fired steam turbine formerly 
owned and operated by PECO Energy at the Schuylkill Generation Station

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.

River, near the southwest corner of North Whitehall Township.
    8. C & M Developers, Inc. D-95-18 CP. An application for approval 
of a ground water withdrawal project to supply up to 4.32 mg/30 days of 
water to the applicant's distribution system from new Well No. 3, and

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.
    9. Chester Cogeneration Limited Partnership (CCLP) D-95-30. An

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-
