Contact: Muhammad Q. Zaman, Environmental Program Manager—Telephone: 570-327-3648
08-00045A: Moxie Liberty, LLC (612 Center Street South, Suite 200, Vienna, VA 22180) has submitted an application to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for plan approval to construct a natural gas-fired combined-cycle power plant to produce 936 MW or less of electricity in Asylum Township, Bradford County. The project consists of two identical 1 x 1 power blocks, and each block includes a combustion gas turbine and a steam turbine. Each combined-cycle process will also include a heat recovery steam generator and supplemental duct burners. Additionally, one diesel-fired emergency generator, one diesel-fired fire water pump, two diesel fuel storage tanks, two lube oil storage tanks, and one aqueous ammonia storage tank were proposed to be constructed and operated. Each combined-cycle process will be rated at 468 MW or less. The heat input rating of each combustion gas turbine is 2890 MMBtu/hr (HHV) or less, and the heat input rating of each supplemental duct burner is equal to 387 MMBtu/hr (HHV) or less. This application is subject to the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) of Air Quality regulations of 40 CFR 52.21, the Nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR) regulations of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.201—27.218, and the Best Available Technology (BAT) requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12. The facility's total particulate matter (PM) including total PM10 and total PM2.5, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and greenhouse gas emissions are subject to the PSD requirements. The facility's nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds emissions are also subject to the NNSR requirements. The Department has determined that the proposed levels of the air contaminants emissions satisfy best available control technology (BACT) and Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) requirements as well as the Department's BAT requirements.
The facility is also subject to the following Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources (NSPS): 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart KKKK—Standards of Performance for Stationary Combustion Turbines codified in 40 CFR 60.4300 through 60.4420 and 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart IIII—Standards of Performance for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines codified in 40 CFR 60.4200 through 60.4219. The proposed project is also subject to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines codified 40 CFR 63.6580 through 63.6675 as applicable to the proposed diesel-fired engines. The Department has determined that this facility satisfies all applicable requirements of these subparts including Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) requirements.
Pursuant to the PSD provisions of 40 CFR 52.21 and 25 Pa. Code § 127.83, Moxie Liberty has performed dispersion modeling. The air quality analysis methodology is consistent with the ''Guideline on Air Quality Models'' codified in Appendix W to 40 CFR Part 51, associated United States Environmental Protection Agency modeling policy and guidance, and the Department's recommendations. The air quality analysis adequately demonstrates that the proposed emissions due to the project will not cause or significantly contribute to air pollution in violation of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particulate matter less than 2.5 micrometers (PM-2.5), and particulate matter less than 10 micrometers (PM-10), and the PSD standards for NO2, PM-2.5, and PM-10. In addition, the analysis adequately demonstrates that the project's proposed emissions, in conjunction with anticipated emissions due to general commercial, residential, industrial, and other growth associated with the project, will not impair visibility, soils, and vegetation. Furthermore, the effect of the project's emissions on air quality related values, including visibility, in Federal Class I areas is adequately addressed.
Based on the findings presented above, the Department intends to issue a plan approval for the proposed project. The following is a summary of the conditions that the Department proposes to place in the plan approval to be issued to ensure compliance with all applicable air quality regulatory requirements:

57-00005A: Appalachia Midstream Services, LLC (P. O. Box 54382, 6100 N. Western Avenue, Oklahoma City OK 73154) has submitted an application to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (Department) for plan approval to construct five compressor engines and one dehydration unit at their Cherry Compressor Station located in Cherry Township, Sullivan County. The respective facility is a state only (natural minor) facility for which a state only operating permit has not yet been issued.
The Department's review of the information submitted by Appalachia Midstream Services indicates that the compressor engines to be constructed will comply with applicable regulatory requirements pertaining to air contamination sources. Additionally, the Department has determined that the proposed engines satisfy best available technology (BAT) requirements, pursuant to 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12 as well as the Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines specified in 40 CFR 60, Subpart JJJJ. Pursuant to the requirements of BAT, the compressor engines are restricted to emit emissions for the following pollutants at a rate above; 0.50 g/Bhp-hr for nitrogen oxide (NOx), 0.19 g/Bhp-hr for carbon monoxide (CO), 0.16 g/Bhp-hr for volatile organic compounds (VOC, expressed as NMNEHC), and 0.04 g/Bhp-hr for formaldehyde. To demonstrate compliance with these limitations, Appalachia will be required to conduct EPA reference method testing on each engine-compressor's exhaust for NOx, CO, VOC, and formaldehyde emissions. Continuous compliance demonstration will include monitoring of operational parameters of the catalyst and testing for NOx and CO on an approximate quarterly basis. The compressor-engines are also required to use only pipeline quality natural gas as fuel for operation. Each engine-compressor has a site rating of 3,550 bhp.
Based on the findings above, the Department proposes to issue a plan approval with annual emission restrictions for all sources at the Cherry Compressor Station as well as monitoring, recordkeeping and work practice requirements to verify compliance with the annual emission restrictions.
In addition to the emission limitations above, the following is a summary of the types of conditions the Department intends to place in Plan Approval 57-00005A to ensure compliance with applicable Federal and State regulatory requirements including the best available technology requirements of 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.1 and 127.12.
Initial and subsequent testing at the exhaust of each engine-compressors using Department-approved methods on an approximate annual basis
Monitoring requirement to take representative samples of gas into the station, the inlet and outlet exhaust temperature of catalysts to demonstrate continuous compliance with the destruction efficiency of the catalyst and monitoring requirement on the engines-compressors for nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide emissions on an approximate quarterly basis
Recordkeeping requirement for engine-compressors' gas usage and operational hours including the records of all required monitoring
Work practice requirement to construct and operate in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and good air pollution control practices, minimize blowdowns and limit the emission of malodors to level undetectable outside the property
The air contaminate emissions from all sources at the proposed compressor station will be restricted to the following annual 12 consecutive month limitations; 92.4 tpy for NOx, 42.3 tpy for CO, 42.3 tpy for VOC, 1.5 tpy for sulfur oxide, 6.3 tpy for particulate matter (PM) including PM10 and PM2.5, 7.1 tpy for formaldehyde, and 22.6 tpy for hazardous air pollutants (HAP). Compliance requirements for these annual restrictions include monthly recordkeeping of emissions from each source at the proposed station
All pertinent documents used in the evaluation of the application are available for public review during normal business hours at the Department's Northcentral Regional office. Any person(s) wishing to provide the Department with additional information, which they believe should be considered prior to the issuance of this plan approval, may submit the information to the Department of Environmental Protection at the address shown in the preceding paragraph.

15-00019: Exelon Generation Company, LLC (300 Exelon Way, Suite 330, Kennett Square, PA 19348; Attn: Mr. John Tissue), for the renewal of the Title V Operating Permit. The facility is located in East Pikeland Township, Chester County. The initial permit was issued on July 2, 2000, for their electric utility power station located at 100 Cromby Road, Phoenixville, PA. The facility is a major source for all criteria pollutants. Sources include utility Boiler 1, utility Boiler 2, Cromby Auxiliary Boiler, Natural Gas Preheater, Centrifuge Dryers A and B, Reheat Burners ABC, Diesel Generator, Mechanical Collector 1, ''D'' Secondary Collector Cyclone, Electrostatic Precip 1, Wet Scrubber Train ABC, Dryer A Cyclone, Dryer B Cyclone, Baghouse 1, and SNCR for Boiler 1. Boiler 1 was previously subject to 40 C.F.R. Part 60, Subpart HHHH. Subpart HHHH has since been vacated. Boiler 1 and Boiler 2 are subject to 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart UUUUU. The Auxiliary Boiler and Natural Gas Heater are subject to 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart DDDDD. The Diesel Generator is only used for emergencies and is subject to 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ, but is exempt from having to meet the requirements of this subpart and subpart A of 40 C.F.R. Part 63, including the initial notification requirement. Boiler 1 is considered a major source of PM, SOx, CO, and NOx. The pollutants SOx and NOx are monitored using a Continuous Emission Monitoring System (CEMS), which exempts the source from Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) requirements for SOx and NOx. CAM requirements already exist for PM emissions from this source. CAM does not apply to the CO emissions. Boiler 1 and Boiler 2 are both subject to the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). Applicable conditions were already incorporated into the permit. The following are potential site-wide emission rates for this facility: NOx—5,341.1 TPY; SOx—17,781.9 TPY; PM—2,125.1 TPY; CO—679.8 TPY; VOC—32.74 TPY; HAP—137.5 TPY; and GHG—3,149,609 TPY (reported as CO2e). Allowable emissions from the facility have not increased as a result of this permit renewal. Individual limits apply to the various sources at the facility. The operating permit contains requirements to keep the facility operating within all applicable air quality requirements for this source.
The Department intends to re-issue an Acid Rain Permit for this site, as well. For the time period from January 2013 to December 2017, the Title IV Permit (ORIS number 3159) is included by reference in the Title V Operating Permit renewal. Boiler 1 and Boiler 2 are Phase II units, as defined in 40 C.F.R. Section 72.2, and are both subject to Acid Rain Program permitting for SOx. For calendar years 2013—2017, the SOx allowance allocations for Boiler 1 are 2,207 tons per calendar year. For the same time period, the SOx allowance allocations for Boiler 2 are 2,114 tons per calendar year. When the Acid Rain program was first implemented, the facility opted into the early election NOx reduction plan for Boiler 1. Boiler 1 became subject to an early election Phase I NOx limitation of 0.50 lbs/MMBtu, on an annual average basis, which was effective through 12-31-2007. Per 40 C.F.R. 76.8, on January 1, 2008, Boiler 1 became subject to a new NOx limit of 0.46 lb/MMBtu, on an annual average basis. Boiler 2 does not burn coal and is therefore only subject to the sulfur emission requirements of the Acid Rain Program. All necessary conditions and requirements will be included in the Acid Rain Permit.

RACT OP-65-000-853 (ArcelorMittal Monessen LLC, 345 Donner Avenue, Monessen, PA 15062) In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.42, 127.425 and 127.426, and 40 CFR 51.102, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is providing notice that it intends to conduct a Public Hearing on Thursday, August 30, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. Public Hearing will be held in Conference Rooms Waterfront A&B located at DEP's Southwest Regional Office, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222. DEP proposes to issue a revised Reasonably Available Control Technology Operating Permit (RACT OP-65-000-853) to ArcelorMittal LLC for the Monessen Coke Plant located in Monessen, Westmoreland County. The Public Hearing is being conducted to accept testimony regarding the proposed revised RACT OP-65-000-853 and the proposed revision to Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan (SIP). When issued, the revised RACT OP-65-000-853 will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a revision to Pennsylvania's SIP as codified at 40 CFR 52, Subpart NN. This Public Hearing is being held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed revised RACT OP-65-000-853 and the proposed SIP revision.
The Monessen Coke Plant is of a byproduct recovery design. Sources included two Coke Oven Gas Fired Boilers, Coal and Coke Handling, Coke Oven Batteries 1B and 2, Coke Quenching and a Byproduct Recovery Plant where ammonia, light oils (primarily benzene, toluene, xylene), tar, tar derivatives, heavy hydrocarbons, and other chemical compounds are recovered from Coke Oven Gas. Emissions associated with Coke Oven Batteries 1B and 2 arise from Charging, Soaking, Pushing, and Combustion Stacks.
Only the allowable emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) from the Coke Oven Batteries 1B and 2 Combustion Stacks are affected by this proposed action. Allowable VOC and NOx emissions from these sources were originally established by DEP based on the RACT Proposal submitted by Monessen, Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Sharon Specialty Steel, Inc.) in 1994. The current owner, ArcelorMittal LLC, has requested that these allowables be revised. Permittee has provided the results of 14 years of stack tests, and a revised technical feasibility analysis for possible control of NOx and VOC emissions. Based on the information provided, and the Department's analysis, revised limits for NOx and VOC emissions from the Coke Oven Batteries 1B and 2 Combustion Stacks are being proposed as shown below. These revised emission limits are not the result of any reconstruction or modification to Coke Oven Batteries 1B and 2. No equipment changes are being sought by Permittee, and none will be authorized by this action. Proposed revised RACT OP-65-000-853 includes conditions relating to emission restriction, testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and work practice standards established in accordance with the provisions of 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91—129.95.

MINING 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 Chapter 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
Limekiln PCE HSCA Site
Horsham Township, Montgomery CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department), under the authority of the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, Act of October 18, 1988, P. L. 756, No. 108, 35 P. S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305 (''HSCA''), is proposing a response action at the Limekiln PCE HSCA Site (Site) in Horsham Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
The Department, under the authority of HSCA, has been conducting an environmental investigation of the Site. This investigation included the sampling of private drinking water supply wells located along portions of Limekiln Pike, Grindleton Lane, Davis Grove Road, and Park Road in Horsham Township. Sampling revealed levels of Tetrachloroethylene (PCE) exceeding the Safe Drinking Water Maximum Contaminant Level.
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 to implement 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 a public water line, including the extension of nearby mains, and construction of laterals to connect homes to the public water supply. This proposed alternative complies with Applicable, Relevant and Appropriate Requirements (ARARs) and is feasible and cost-effective. Other possible alternatives include no action, supplying bottled water to affected residences, or the installation of point-of-entry whole house carbon filtration systems.
An Administrative Record, which contains more detailed information concerning this proposed response action, is available for public inspection. The Administrative Record may be examined from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. at the Department's office at 2 East Main Street, Norristown PA 19401. Those interested in examining the Administrative Record should contact Carly Baker at (484) 250-5730 to arrange for an appointment. Additional copies of the Administrative Record are available for review at the Horsham Township Library, 435 Babylon Road, Horsham, PA 19044.
Pursuant to Section 506(d) of HSCA, 35 P. S. § 6020.506(d), the Department shall conduct a public hearing on September 10, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at the Horsham Township Community Center, located directly behind the Horsham Township Building at 1025 Horsham Road, Horsham, PA 19044. Anyone who would like to present formal oral comments regarding this proposed response may do so by calling DEP Community Relations Coordinator Lynda Rebarchak, at (484) 250-5820 to register.
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. Members of the public may also submit written comments regarding the Department's proposed 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 October 29, 2012. Written comments should be addressed to Carly Baker, Project Officer, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401.
Anyone with questions regarding this notice should contact Carly Baker at (484) 250-5730.
LAND RECYCLING AND
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATIONUNDER ACT 2, 1995 PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P. S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of 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 act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for 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 analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, will also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. 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.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports 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.

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.

FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT SECTION 401 The Department has taken the following actions on previously received permit applications, requests for Environmental Assessment approval and requests for Water Quality Certification under section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341).
Except as otherwise noted, the Department has granted 401 Water Quality Certification certifying that the construction and operation described will comply with sections 301—303, 306 and 307 of the FWPCA (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311—1313, 1316 and 1317) and that the construction will not violate applicable Federal and State water quality standards.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704. The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, PO Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the Board through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create a right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, the appeal must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.
