25 Pa. Code § 109.1105 - Permit requirements
(a)
General permit requirements. A person may not construct,
substantially modify or operate corrosion control treatment facilities to
comply with this subchapter without having obtained the appropriate permit
approvals under Subchapter E (relating to permit requirements) and this
section.
(b)
Construction
permits and permit amendments. The water supplier shall submit an
application for a public water system construction permit for a newly-created
system or an amended construction permit for a currently-permitted system for
corrosion control treatment facilities by the applicable deadline established
in §
109.1102(b)(2)
(relating to action levels and treatment technique requirements), unless the
system complies with paragraph (1) or (2) or otherwise qualifies for a minor
permit amendment under §
109.503(b)
(relating to public water system construction permits). The permit application
must comply with §
109.503 and contain the applicable
information specified therein. The application must include recommended water
quality parameter performance requirements for optimal corrosion control
treatment as specified in §
109.1102(b)(5)
and other data, information or documentation necessary to enable the Department
to consider the application for a permit for construction of the facilities.
(1)
Community water system minor
permit amendments. Until August 18, 2018, a community water supplier
may submit a written request for an amended construction permit to the
Department if the system satisfies the conditions under subparagraphs (i)-(iv).
A request for an amended construction permit under this paragraph must describe
the proposed change in sufficient detail to allow the Department to adequately
evaluate the proposal.
(i) The system is a
small water system.
(ii) The
sources of supply for the system are not surface water sources.
(iii) Except for corrosion control treatment,
the sources require treatment no greater than disinfection to provide water of
a quality that meets the MCLs and treatment technique requirements established
under Subchapter B (relating to MCLs, MRDLs or treatment technique
requirements).
(iv) The proposed
corrosion control treatment is limited to alkalinity or pH adjustment, or
both.
(2)
Nontransient noncommunity water system permits. Until August
18, 2018, a nontransient noncommunity water supplier is not required to obtain
a construction permit or permit amendment under subsection (b) if the system
satisfies the following specifications and conditions:
(i) The system is a small water
system.
(ii) The sources of supply
for the system are not surface water sources.
(iii) Except for corrosion control treatment,
the sources require treatment no greater than disinfection to provide water of
a quality that meets the MCLs and treatment technique requirements established
under Subchapter B.
(iv) The
proposed corrosion control treatment is limited to alkalinity or pH adjustment,
or both.
(v) The water supplier
files a brief description of the proposed treatment, including recommended
water quality parameter performance requirements for optimal corrosion control
treatment as specified in §
109.1102(b)(5),
on forms acceptable to the Department. Descriptions of modifications shall be
submitted and approved by the Department prior to
construction.
(3)
Beginning August 19, 2018, community water systems and nontransient
noncommunity water systems required to install optimal corrosion control
treatment in accordance with §
109.1102(b) shall
obtain a construction and operation permit.
(c)
Operation permits.
Except for nontransient noncommunity water systems complying with subsection
(b)(2), the water supplier shall obtain an operation permit or amended
operation permit following completion of construction and prior to initiation
of operation of corrosion control treatment facilities. The permit will be
issued in accordance with §
109.504 (relating to public water
system operation permits). The Department will not issue an operation permit
under this subchapter unless the water system complies with the operation and
maintenance plan requirements under §
109.1107(b)
(relating to system management responsibilities) and the operator certification
requirements under §
109.1107(c). The
water supplier for a community water system or nontransient noncommunity water
system shall submit a request for Department designation of optimal corrosion
control treatment performance requirements in accordance with §
109.1102(b)(2)
and the Department will issue an amended operation permit designating the
performance requirements as specified in §
109.1102(b)(5).
