Proposed Conditional State Water Quality Certification for the Emsworth Locksand Dam Hydroelectric Project, DEP File No. WQ05-003, FERC Project No. 13757-002 On March 14, 2014, FFP Missouri 5, LLC (Applicant) filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for a license to construct and operate a 24-megawatt (MW) hydroelectric facility at the Emsworth Locks and Dam, which is owned and operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), on the Ohio River, at river mile 6.2, in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania (Project). The Applicant is required pursuant to section 401(a) of the Federal Clean Water Act (act) (33 U.S.C. § 1341(a)) to provide FERC with certification from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (Commonwealth) that any discharge from the Project to waters of the Commonwealth will comply with provisions of the act relating to water quality standards, and necessary measures to achieve and maintain those standards. The Commonwealth has established such standards and programs to achieve and maintain them under State law, which have been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as consistent with the applicable provisions of the act. The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (Department) administers the Commonwealth's water quality standards programs under State law, and is responsible for the review of requests from applicants for water quality certification made pursuant to section 401 of the act.
On August 23, 2016, Rye Development, LLC provided the Department with a complete application for State Water Quality Certification, including an Environmental Assessment for the Project, on behalf of the Applicant. The Project would consist of a new 205-foot-long, 180-foot-wide intake channel to be excavated into the riverbed immediately downstream of the Corps' gate 7 and 8. Four (4) 50-foot-wide, 40-foot-high spillway gate bays would be constructed along the river side of the excavated intake channel, to pass flow equivalent to the Corps' spillway gates 7 and 8. The intake channel would lead to a concrete intake structure that would convey flows past a trash rack with 5-inch clear bar spacing, to a new reinforced concrete powerhouse that is 30 feet long, 180 feet wide and 63.5 feet in height. The powerhouse would house four equally sized horizontal pit Kaplan turbine generator units with a combined capacity of 24 MWs. Flows would exit the powerhouse into a 380-foot-long tailrace excavated into the riverbed. Project power would be transmitted from the powerhouse to a new project substation with an 88-foot-long, medium-voltage buried cable, and then from the new substation to an existing substation with a 1,893-foot-long, 69-kilovolt overhead transmission line.
The Department, by this notice, proposes to certify that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project complies with the applicable provisions of sections 301-303, 306 and 307 of the act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311—1313, 1316 and 1317), and will not violate the Commonwealth's water quality standards, provided that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project complies with the conditions for this certification as listed below, and the terms and conditions of the State law permits required to demonstrate compliance with Pennsylvania Water Quality Standards:
1. Discharge Permit—If the proposed facility will result in a discharge into waters of the Commonwealth, the Applicant shall, prior to construction, obtain and comply with a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the Department for discharges to waters of the Commonwealth pursuant to the Clean Streams Law (35 P.S. §§ 691.1—691.1001), and applicable regulations implementing the Clean Streams Law, including, but not limited to, 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91, 92a, 93 and 96. As part of the NPDES permit application for the Project, the Applicant shall provide the Department with information on the potential impacts of the Project on water quality and measures that will be taken to avoid, minimize and/or mitigate those impacts, including information on the type, volume and concentration of pollutants that may be discharged, impacts to Federal and State threatened and endangered species and other species of special concern, impacts on the flow and dissolved oxygen levels of the impacted waters, and measures to be taken to avoid water quality impacts, and impingement, entrainment, habitat destruction, and other adverse impacts on fish and wildlife species. The applicant shall also submit a plan as part of the permit application to prevent pollutants from directly or indirectly reaching waters of the Commonwealth through accident, carelessness, maliciousness, hazards of weather or from other causes consistent with 25 Pa. Code § 91.34. The Applicant shall assess impacts and develop best management practices as part of its permit application consistent with applicable Department technical guidance.

Announcement of Eligibility for Emergency Permits—Penn Jersey System, Texas Eastern, LP On September 1, 2016, Texas Eastern Transmission, LP (Texas Eastern), a subsidiary of Spectra Energy Partners, LP (Spectra Energy) requested a determination of eligibility for emergency permits under 25 Pa. Code § 105.64 permits to conduct inspection and repair of anomalies on portions of the Penn Jersey System across portions of Pennsylvania (the Project) from the Department. The Project must be completed by November 1, 2016 in order for the Penn Jersey System to meet peak demand throughout the Northeast during the winter months. The Project is required by the Amended Corrective Action Order (ACAO) issued on July 19, 2016 by the Federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). PHMSA found that the repairs are necessary to alleviate an imminent threat to life, property or the environment. Until the repairs are made, the Penn Jersey system will be required to operate at a reduced pressure which could result in gas shortages during the peak winter heating season.
Upon consideration of information submitted by Texas Eastern and Spectra Energy, including the July 19, 2016 ACOA requiring completion of the Project, the Department has determined that the Project is eligible for emergency permit coverage under 25 Pa. Code § 105.64. Texas Eastern is expected to begin submission of emergency permit requests immediately.
Questions concerning this determination can be directed to Scott Williamson, (717) 705-4799 or swilliams@pa.gov.
