Federal Consistency under the Coastal Zone Management Act [44 Pa.B. 3635]
[Saturday, June 14, 2014]This notice is published under section 306(d)(14) of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C.A. § 1455(d)(14)), regarding public participation during consistency determinations. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Coastal Resources Management Program has received notice that the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority (EWPPA) is seeking United States Army Corp of Engineers authorization for the installation of mooring pilings to accommodate larger vessels in the West Canal Basin in Erie, PA. The proposed installation will include two 7-inch diameter pilings to enhance the port's ability to provide mooring for large vessels while protecting the existing header dock from damage.
This project is subject to Department review for Federal consistency because it is a Federal license and permit activity and will have reasonably foreseeable effects on this Commonwealth's coastal resources or uses.
In accordance with 15 CFR Part 930, Subpart D (relating to consistency for activities requiring a Federal license or permit), EWPPA has certified that the proposed activity will be conducted in a manner consistent with the applicable enforceable policies of the Commonwealth's approved Coastal Resources Management Program. Interested parties may request a copy of the Federal Consistency Certification from the Department contact listed as follows.
The Department will consider all comments received by June 30, 2014, before issuing a final Federal consistency concurrence or objection. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted. Comments, including comments submitted by e-mail, must include the originator's name and address. Written comments should be submitted to Matt Walderon, Federal Consistency Coordinator, Interstate Waters Office, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8465, Rachel Carson State Office Building, Harrisburg, PA 17101-8465, (717) 772-2196, RA-Fed_Consistency@pa.gov.
