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.

PA DOT Engineering District 3-0 proposes to replace a single span concrete T-beam bridge with a single span concrete box culvert. The existing bridge has a span of 19.8 Ft., a skew of 90 degrees, an underclearance of 4.56 Ft., a low chord of 1,160.22 Ft. and a hydraulic opening of 90.3 Ft2. The proposed 24 Ft X 8 Ft box culvert has a span of 24 Ft., a skew of 90 degrees, an underclearance of 6.0 Ft., a low chord of 1,160.04 Ft. and a hydraulic opening of 144 Ft2. The proposed box culvert will be located approximately 25 Ft. south of the existing structure to better align it with the stream. The proposed box culvert will be depressed approximately two feet to aid in aquatic passage. The project will include approximately 95 Ft. of R-8 Rip Rap stream bank stabilization on the upstream side of the structure and approximately 35 Ft. of R-8 Rip Rap scout protection on the outlet. The Rip Rap scour protection on the outlet will help correct an existing scour hole and mitigate the effects of increased velocities. The project will temporarily impact 0.01 acre and permanently impact 0.02 acre of jurisdictional wetlands. The wetland impact is considered Deminimus and does not require mitigation. Rockwell Creek is classified as a Warm Water Fishery by Title 25, Chapter 93 Water Quality Standards. This project will not require mitigation.

EA42-050, Allegheny National Forest. Kinzua Valley Trail—Red Bridge to Markham Run, in Hamilton Township, McKean County, ACOE Pittsburgh District (Cornplanter Bridge and Westline, PA Quadrangles N: 41°, 46`, 20"; W: 78°, 51`, 33"). To develop a 2.5 mile recreational trail from Red Bridge to Markham Run along Kinzua Creek in the Allegheny National Forest and a new trail head parking area. The project proposes improvements to 1.6 mile of existing abandoned railroad grade and creation of 0.6 mile of new trail to connect to existing facilities. Impacts resulting from this project include 26 LF permanent impact to Little Meade Run and UNT Kinzua Creek and 1.2 acre of permanent wetland impact. Proposed mitigation involves setting the culvert and grade elevations through the existing wetlands so the water surface elevation on the upslope side of the trail will be increased. It is anticipated that approximately 10.6 acres will be permanently flooded/saturated, much of which will result in the creation of new wetland area and enhancement of existing wetlands.

Downingtown, PA 19335Chester On July 29, 2014, the Southeast Regional Office approved a revision to the West Bradford Township Official Sewage Facilities Plan for the Smith Farm Subdivision. The project is located on the south side of Broad Run Road, north of Chestnut Lane, in West Bradford Township, Chester County. The revision provides for adequate sewage facilities planning to permit the development of 127 dwellings. One new single-family dwelling will be constructed on Lot 1. One new single-family dwelling will be constructed on Lot 2. Lot 3 will be conveyed to an adjacent property. Lot 4 will contain existing buildings that support the current farming and cattle operations. Lot 5 will be subdivided into 125 lots, each of which will contain a single-family dwelling. Lots 6A and 6B will remain non-building, agricultural lots.
The project will be connected to the Utilities, Inc. of Pennsylvania collection system and will generate 33,862.5 gallons of sewage per day to be treated at the Utilities, Inc. of Pennsylvania Broad Run Wastewater Treatment Facility.
The approval is conditioned upon the sludge holding tank, which is proposed to be constructed at the Broad Run Wastewater Treatment Facility, being operational prior to the occupancy of any of the proposed dwellings.
Complete copies of this Plan are available for review, upon request, at the Department of Environmental Protection, Southeast Regional Office, 2 East Main Street, Norristown, PA 19401.

Sewage flow will not increase as part of this project. The total project cost is estimated to be $1,897,500.00 and will be funded through grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development and the United States Economic Development Administration along with private funding from Autoneum North America, Inc. The Department has not identified any major environmental impacts from this plan.
LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION UNDER 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.

SPECIAL NOTICE
Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Federal Clean Water Act for the York Haven Power Company, LLC—York Haven Hydroelectric Project
PA DEP File No. EA 67-023 FERC
Docket No. P-1888-030On August 19, 2014 the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (Commonwealth) Department of Environmental Protection (Department, DEP or PADEP), issued Section 401 Water Quality Certification to York Haven Power Company, LLC (YHPC) for the York Haven Hydroelectric Project (YHHP). The DEP, by this notice, certifies that the construction, operation and maintenance of the YHHP complies with the applicable provisions of sections 301—303, 306, 307 and 316 of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311—1313, 1316, 1317, and 1326) and with appropriate requirements of state law. The Department further certifies that the operation and maintenance of the YHHP complies with applicable Commonwealth water quality standards and that the operation and maintenance of the YHHP does not violate applicable Commonwealth water quality standards provided that the operation and maintenance of the YHHP complies with the conditions proposed for this certification, including the criteria and conditions set forth below:
Compensatory Mitigation
1. YHPC will mitigate the impact to aquatic species by constructing a nature-like fishway (''NLF'') at the eastern end of the main dam apex, connecting to the south-western tip of Three Mile Island, in Londonderry Township, Dauphin County. The NLF will facilitate movement of resident and migratory aquatic species over the dam and re-establish upstream/downstream river connectivity by creating a series of steps that will distribute the change in water surface and riverbed elevations caused by the dam over approximately 450 feet of the Susquehanna River. Subsequent to construction of the NLF, YHPC will monitor the performance of the NLF. Maintenance of the NLF to its approved design configuration shall be conducted for the duration of the operation of YHHP as an electric generation facility.
2. YHPC will provide a minimum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per year for the continuation of their debris management program for debris removal projects within the Lower Susquehanna River watershed. This program will continue for the duration of this certification.
3. YHPC will also achieve certain fish passage targets for migratory fish and eels passing through the project area, and will take corrective action if the fish passage targets are not achieved.
4. YHPC will achieve minimum stream flow criteria to convey flows past the project.
5. The water quality certification will be revised in 2030, as appropriate, to address demonstrated project impacts and subject to the provisions of this certification, to establish requirements consistent with Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C Section 1341.
Any person aggrieved by this action may appeal, pursuant to Section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act, 35 P. S. Section 7514, and the Administrative Agency Law, 2 Pa.C.S. Chapter 5A, 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 Environmental Hearing Board within 30 days of receipt of written notice of this action 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 any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
If you want to challenge this action, your appeal must reach the board within 30 days. You do not need a lawyer to file an appeal with the board.
Important legal rights are at stake, however, so you should show this document to a lawyer at once. If you cannot afford a lawyer, you may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the secretary to the board (717.787.3483) for more information.
