Project Description: REMA has requested a section 401 State Water Quality Certification for the operation of the Piney Hydroelectric Project (Project) (FERC Project No. 309-PA) near the Borough of Clarion in Piney Township, Clarion County, ACOE Pittsburgh District (Clarion, PA Quadrangle N: 12.125 inches; W: 8.125 inches). REMA is seeking a license with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to operate Piney Dam. The Project currently operates as a peaking/load-regulating dam with restrictions on the summer and winter impoundment drawn down levels and minimum conservation releases. Under the current mode of operation, water is released from the Project during periods of power generation and when the storage capacity of the reservoir is exceeded. Minimum conservation releases of 100 cubic feet per second (cfs) from May 1 through October 31 and two 4-hour blocks of 500 cfs from November 1 through April 30 are also provided during periods of nongeneration. Final action on request September 3, 2002.
Except as otherwise noted, the Department, under section 401(a) of the Federal Clean Water Act (act) (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341(a)), certifies that the construction and operation herein described will comply with the applicable provisions of sections 301--303, 306 and 307 of the act and that the construction will not violate applicable Federal and State water quality standards, provided the following requirements are met:
a. REMA operates the project as run-of-river from April 1 through June 20.
b. The minimum release from the project from June 21 through October 31 will be 174 cfs or the calculated flow into the project, whichever is less.
c. Provided sufficient inflow to the project exists, REMA, on three Saturdays, between June 21 and October 31, releases 600 cfs of water for 4 consecutive hours for recreational drift boating purposes.
d. REMA maintains project impoundment levels from June 21 through March 31 in a manner to protect Statewide water uses in the reservoir.
e. REMA maintains current releases from November 1 through March 31.
f. Monitoring for dissolved oxygen and temperature, during the summer months, is conducted 3 days a week prior to, during and following an electric generation event.
g. Monitoring of fish and benthic macroinvertebrate communities above and below the project is conducted.
Final or proposed action on certain other certification requests for projects which require both a Water Obstruction and Encroachment permit and either a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers individual permit or a Nationwide Permit 14, 18 or 26 will be published with Actions of Applications filed under the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1--693.27).
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the Environmental Hearing Board (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 any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals 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 free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.
