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); and The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001); 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--1406.21). Mining activity permits issued in response to the applications will also address the applicable permitting requirements of the following statutes: the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015); the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1--693.27); and the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003).
The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District Mining Office indicated above each application. Where a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for certification.
Written comments or objections or requests for informal conferences on applications may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the same address 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 (relating to public notices of filing of permit applications, opportunity for comment and informal conferences).
Where any of the mining activities listed will have discharges of wastewater to streams, the Department will incorporate NPDES permits into the mining activity permits issued in response to these applications. NPDES permits will contain, at a minimum, technology-based effluent limitations as identified in this notice for the respective coal and noncoal applications. In addition to the above, more restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining which may occur will be incorporated into a mining activity permit, when necessary, for compliance with water quality standards (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 93 and 95). Persons or agencies which have requested review of the NPDES permit requirements for a particular mining activity within the above-mentioned public comment period will be provided with a 30-day period to review and submit comments on those requirements.
Written comments or objections should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; 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. Requests for an informal conference must contain the name, address and telephone number of requestor; 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.

E46-937. Upper Gwynedd Township, Parkside Place, P. O. Box 1, West Point, PA 19486, Upper Gwynedd Township, Montgomery County, ACOE Philadelphia District.
To relocate, construct and maintain an approximately 1,300 linear-foot section of Moyer Boulevard located approximately 700 feet northeast of an existing intersection with West Point Pike. The limit of this work will begin (Lansdale, PA Quadrangle N: 15.2 inches; W: 6.5 inches) and will end (Lansdale, PA Quadrangle N: 14.5 inches; W: 6.41 inches). The alignment of the relocated roadway will affect a total of 440 linear feet of two unnamed tributaries of Wissahickon Creek (TSF).
Work will consist of the following activities:
1. To extend and maintain an existing 80-foot long 36-inch diameter pipe in the tributary beneath Moyer Boulevard. The existing pipe will be extended 189 feet downstream with a 34-inch by 53-inch elliptical reinforced concrete pipe. The connection between the existing and proposed pipes will be made with the installation of a concrete inlet at the outfall of the exiting pipe. A concrete end wall will be installed at the outfall of the proposed pipe and 65 linear feet of stream channel will be protected with Class R-5 Rock rip-rap.
2. To install and maintain 128 linear feet of 48-inch by 76-inch elliptical reinforced concrete pipe in the tributary beneath the proposed relocated road. Concrete end walls will be installed on each end of the proposed pipe and approximately 10 linear feet of stream channel will be protected with Class R-5 rip-rap both upstream and downstream of the end walls. This pipe will be installed between Construction Stations 19+43 and 20+33.
3. To extend and maintain an existing 125-foot long culvert consisting of twin 33-inch diameter pipes in the tributary beneath West Point Pike. The existing twin pipes will be extended 25 feet downstream by twin 36-inch diameter reinforced concrete pipes. A concrete end wall will be installed at the outfall of the twin pipes. Ten linear feet of stream channel will be protected with Class R-5 rip-rap.

The stream mitigation project will impact 1.16 acres of riparian palustrine emergent wetlands. Wetland impacts are associated with placement of fill, stream bank grading and construction of at-grade crossings for the purpose of limiting stream access points for property owners and livestock. The stream improvements will involve minor grading within the floodplain of the northern Bald Eagle Creek and its tributaries. The grading will involve 15,794 cubic yards of excavation (cut) and 11,728 cubic yards of fill in the floodplain, which corresponds to the construction activities resulting in a net excavation of 4,066 cubic yards for the project. The project improvements will provide opportunity for wetlands to reestablish along the stream floodplains.
