COAL AND NONCOAL MINING ACTIVITY APPLICATIONS Applications under the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1396.1—1396.19a); the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 3301—3326); The Clean Streams Law; the Coal Refuse Disposal Control Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51—30.66); and The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1—1406.20a). Mining activity permits issued in response to applications will also address the applicable permitting requirements of the following statutes: the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001—4014); the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1—693.27); and the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101—6018.1002).
The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department. A copy of an application is available for inspection at the district mining office indicated before each application. Notices of requests for 401 Water Quality Certifications are included in individual application notices, as noted.
Written comments or objections, or requests for an informal conference or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application may be submitted by aperson or an officer or head of Federal, state or local government agency or authority to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each application within 30 days of this publication or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121—77.123 and 86.31—86.34.
Written comments or objections regarding a mining permit application should contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting comments or objections, the application number and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based.
A request for an informal conference or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application, as provided by 25 Pa. Code § 77.123 or § 86.34, must contain the name, address and telephone number of the requestor; the application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.
When an NPDES number is listed, the mining activity permit application was accompanied by an application for an individual NPDES permit. The Department has made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the mining activity permit, but the issuance of the NPDES permit is contingent upon the approval of the associated mining activity permit.
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that do not exceed the technology-based effluent limitations. The proposed limits are listed in Table 1.
For noncoal mining activities, the proposed limits are in Table 2. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in coal fields) may require additional effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters. The limits will be in the ranges specified in Table 1.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur will be incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are in Technical Guidance Document 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation-Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation, and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Loads.
Persons wishing to comment on NPDES permit applications should submit statements to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each application within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. A comment must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92.61. The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

Project Description for Water Obstruction and Encroachment Permit Applications—Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-276)/Interstate 95 (I-95) Interchange Project—Bucks County, PA & Burlington County, NJ. This application is part of an overall project for associated impacts; to construct the proposed I-276/I-95 interchange between the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-276) and Interstate 95 (I-95). The project also includes relocation of the Pennsylvania Turnpike barrier toll plaza (Interchange 359), widening of I-276 from four to six lanes between Interchange 351 and the Delaware River, and construction of an additional parallel bridge across the Delaware River. In addition, I-95 would be widened to accommodate ramps and merge lanes resulting from the construction of the interchange.
The roadway construction and widening along I-276 extend approximately 9.2 miles along I-276 from just west of Interchange 351, Bensalem Township, Bucks County (Langhorne, PA USGS Quadrangle N: 1.6 inches; W: 14.8 inches), across the Delaware River Turnpike Bridge. The study limits along I-95 extend 3.2 miles from just south of Trenton Road in Middletown Township, Bucks County (Langhorne, PA USGS Quadrangle N: 3.4 inches; W: 2.9 inches), to the east bank of the Neshaminy Creek in Bristol Township, Bucks County (Beverly, PA USGS Quadrangle N: 18.8 inches; W: 3.8 inches).
The overall project proposes to permanently impact a total of 2.27 acres of wetlands (PEM/PSS/PFO) and 2,097 linear feet of perennial stream. Compensatory wetland mitigation for the entire project will occur on land owned by the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PTC) located at the corner of Zimmerman Lane and Newportville Road in Middletown Township, Bucks County; and stream mitigation will occur along Mill Creek in the Plumbridge Community in Bristol Township, Bucks County.
The project is divided into three stages of construction. Stage 1 of the project includes the completion of the Interstate 95 connections and toll system conversion. Stage 2 of the project includes completion of the remaining interchange movements and associated highway widening, while Stage 3 would include the construction of the new Delaware River Bridge and rehabilitation of the existing bridge.
The construction work for Stage 1 (Richlieu Road Bridge and Northwest Quadrant Mitigation Site) includes the following water obstruction and encroachment activities:

717-705-4802MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0
Alkalinity greater than acidity* *The parameter is applicable at all times. In addition, the Department imposes a technology-based aluminum limit of 2.0 mg/l (30 day average) to protect stream uses.
A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The BAT limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 40 CFR Part 436 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 77 are as follows:
30-day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l Alkalinity exceeding acidity* pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0
*The parameter is applicable at all times. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation—Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation, and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

HAZARDOUS SITES CLEAN-UP UNDER THE ACT OF
OCTOBER 18, 1988Notice of Proposed Interim Response Nockamixon TCE
Nockamixon Township, Bucks CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA) (35 P. S. §§ 6020.102—6020.1303) is proposing an interim response at Nockamixon TCE, Nockamixon Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
The Nockamixon TCE HSCA Site is located in Nockamixon Township, Bucks County. The Site is located along Easton, Tower, Durham Road, Tower Road, Brennan Road, Mountainview Drive, and Park Drive. The site includes approximately 11 private wells impacted with Volatile Organic Compounds above Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs). The area of the site consists mostly of rural residential properties with a few small businesses.
The Department was notified by the Bucks County Health Department in spring 2009 that contamination had been found in the groundwater of the site area. Preliminary sampling by the Bucks County Health Department showed levels that peaked at 26.8 parts per billion trichloroethylene (TCE), which is the contaminant of concern. The Department initiated an investigation in 2009 to both confirm the Health Department's results and expanding the sampling efforts in the area. This investigation is still ongoing. The Department has conducted sampling events in October 2009, April, 2010, and November 2010. A total of approximately 30 locations have been sampled by the Department. Princeton Hydro, LLC conducted a study for Lower Delaware River Wild and Scenic Management Committee and the Delaware River Greenway Partnership regarding natural gas exploration and recovery with a report dated December 2009 that also expanded the Department's sampling efforts to Park Drive.
Volatile Organic Compounds have been released in the area with an unknown source. The MCL for TCE is 5 Parts per billion (ppb). Most of the levels in residential wells for this contaminant are between 5 and 25 ppb. The highest concentration was detected at 93.4 ppb. The health threats include ingestion and inhalation. Bottled water is currently being provided to affected residents as a temporary measure.
To address the release and threat of release of hazardous substances at the Site, and corresponding threats to human health and the environment, the Department proposes a response action at the Site under Sections 501(a) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.501(a). The Department hereby proposes the installation of whole house carbon filtration units on affected private residential water supplies. This proposed alternative complies with Applicable, Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) and is feasible and cost-effective. Other possible alternatives include taking no action, the installation of a public waterline and continuing to provide bottled water.
An Administrative Record, which contains more detailed information concerning this interim response action, is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record may be examined from 8:00 am until 4:00 pm at the Department's office at 2 East Main Street, Norristown PA 19401. Those interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact the Megan Harkins at (484) 250-5721 or William Blasberg at (484) 250-5865 to arrange for an appointment. An additional copy of the Administrative Record is available for review at the Nockamixon Township Municipal Building located at 589 Lake Warren Road, Upper Black Eddy. 18972.
Pursuant to Sections 505(b) and 506(d) of HSCA, 35 P. S. §§ 6020.505(b) and 6020.506(d), the Department will conduct a public hearing on May 25, 2011 at 7:00 pm at the Nockamixon Township Municipal Building located at 589 Lake Warren Road, Upper Black Eddy. 18972. Anyone who would like to present formal oral comments regarding this proposed response may do so by registering with the Department before the meeting. Individuals may register by calling the Department's Community Relations Coordinator, Lynda Rebarchak (484) 250-5820.
Any person with a disability who wishes to attend the public hearing and will require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate in the proceedings should contact Lynda Rebarchak at the telephone number listed above or through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs. The public may also submit written comments regarding the Department's Interim Response action during the period of public comment. In accordance with Section 506(c) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.506(c), the Department has established a period for public comment that is now open until close of business July 14, 2011. Written comments should be addressed to Megan Harkins, Project Officer, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401. Anyone with questions regarding this notice should contact Megan Harkins at (484) 250-5721.

Perry Township, Berks CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (HSCA), (35 P. S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305) is proposing an interim response at the Five Locks Access Area Site (Site).
The Site is located approximately midway between Hamburg and Shoemakersville, along Five Locks Road and Water Street, at the intersection with Fisher Dam Road.

Lead-contaminated waste, soil and sediment will be removed and properly disposed off site. The response will minimally alter existing land elevations and thus should not increase the likelihood of flooding.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Section 250.8 of 25 Pa. Code and administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation; concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of reuse of the property; and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the Boles Run Watershed in Erie and Crawford Counties Pennsylvania The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the Boles Run Watershed in Erie and Crawford Counties, PA. These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included impaired stream segments in this watershed. The listings of these waterbodies were due to use impairments caused by excessive siltation from agriculture and road run off.
There currently are no state or federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment in the Boles Run Watershed. The sediment loadings were allocated among cropland, hay/pasture land, unpaved roads and stream bank categories present in the watershed. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loadings for the watershed. Overall load reductions necessary in order to meet the TMDLs are also identified.

Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the Christy Run Watershed in Butler County Pennsylvania The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the Christy Run Watershed in Butler County, PA. These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included impaired stream segments in this watershed. The listings of these waterbodies were due to use impairments caused by excessive siltation and/turbidity.
There currently are no state or federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation or turbidity. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment in the Christy Run Watershed. The sediment loadings were allocated among cropland, hay/pasture land, transitional land and streambank categories present in the watershed. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loadings for the watershed. Overall load reductions necessary in order to meet the TMDLs are also identified.
