S. §§ 693.1--693.27).
Regional Office: Regional Manager, Water Management Program Northwest Region, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.
Certification Request Initiated by: Erie Western Pennsylvania Port Authority, Raymond P. Schreckengost, Executive Director, 17 West Dobbins Landing, Erie, PA 16507-1424.
Project Description: The Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has requested a State certification under section 401(a) of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341(a)) that the dredging of the East Avenue Launch Ramp basin and the discharge of this dredged material into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) will comply with the applicable provisions of sections 301--303, 306 and 307 of the Federal Clean Water Act.
This request was necessitated by conditions imposed by the Department's Water Obstruction and Encroachment Permits E25-404A and E25-581 issued to the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority requiring Federal Water Act Section 401 certification for the disposal of dredged material in the CDF prior to each dredging and disposal event. The Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has sampled and tested the sediments in accordance with Attachment A ''Sample Collection and Testing Protocol'' of both Water Obstruction and Encroachments Permits E25-404A and E25-581. Laboratory testing was conducted in accordance with the United States Army Corps of Engineer's Inland Testing Manual and the document ''Ecological Evaluation of Proposed Discharge of Dredged or Fill Material in Navigable Waters.'' Based upon this sampling and laboratory testing, the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority indicates that the dredging of this approximately 1175 cubic yards of basin sediments from the East Avenue Launch Ramp basin (Erie North, PA Quadrangle N: 3.6 inches; W: 8.9 inches) and the discharge of this dredged material into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (Erie North, PA N: 4.7 inches; W: 10.3 inches) will not degrade the water quality of Lake Erie or Presque Isle Bay. The Erie-Western Port Authority has also requested because of reported aggravated accumulation of basin sediments the past 2 years, this Section 401 Water Quality Certification allow for subsequent dredging of the East Avenue Launch Ramp and discharge of that material into the CDF for 1 year after final certification without additional sampling and testing. Any subsequent use of the CDF for the discharge of dredged materials from the East Avenue Launch Ramp past this 1 year certification period will require a separate 401 Water Quality Certification.

PLAN APPROVAL
Plan approval granted under the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20).
Northeast Regional Office: Water Management Program Manager, 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18711-0790, (570) 826-2511.
Borough of Weissport, Carbon County.
The Department has reviewed the Official Sewage Facilities Plan Update Revision (Plan Update Revision) dated July 1998 and revised January 2000 (received by the Department on January 20, 2000), as submitted by Spotts, Stevens & McCoy, Inc., on behalf of the Borough of Weissport (Borough).
The Department's review has found that the Plan Update Revision is acceptable and hereby grants planning approval. This review has also not identified any significant environmental impacts resulting from this proposal.
The Plan Update Revision calls for replacement of the Borough's entire existing wastewater collection system. The selected wastewater disposal alternative is described in the Plan Update Revision as ''Gravity Sewerage Alternative No. 1.'' The alternative also proposes a limited rehabilitation of the Weissport Borough Municipal Authority's (Authority) existing main pumping station.
Replacement of the Borough's entire wastewater collection system was found to be the only cost-effective alternative which would successfully eliminate excessive amounts of infiltration/inflow (I/I) from the Borough's wastewater collection system. Elimination of the excessive amounts of I/I is required to eliminate the existing hydraulic overload at the existing Lehighton Sewerage Authority's Wastewater Treatment Facility. Wastewater from the proposed, replacement collection system will be discharged to the existing Lehighton Sewerage Authority's Wastewater Treatment Facility for treatment and discharge. Upon completion of the proposed Central Carbon Municipal Authority's (CCMA) Wastewater Treatment Facility, wastewater from the Borough's wastewater collection system will be conveyed to and treated at the CCMA facility.
Financing of the proposed wastewater construction improvements is to be provided by the United States Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service. The Borough plans also to apply to the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority (PENNVEST) for financing of the system as a secondary or backup financing source.
In accordance with the provisions of the Pennsylvania Sewage Facilities Act (35 P. S. §§ 750.1--750.20(a)) (Act 537), and Chapter 71 of the Department's regulations (25 Pa. Code Chapter 71), the Department will hold the Borough of Weissport and the Weissport Borough Municipal Authority responsible for the complete and timely implementation of the Plan Update Revision's selected wastewater disposal alternative, as listed in the Plan Update Revision, and its corresponding Schedule of Implementation.
Please be advised that any additional wastewater-related improvements, additions, deletions or changes outside of those explicitly described in the Plan Update Revision and its correspondence, must be in compliance with the Department's regulations and be submitted to and approved by the Department in writing.
This approval correspondence covers only the wastewater planning aspects of the selected wastewater disposal alternative as it relates to the Borough's Official Sewage Facilities Plan. Implementation of the selected wastewater disposal alternative will require a Water Management Part II Permit for the construction and operation of the proposed sewage facilities. The permit application must be submitted in the name of the Borough or Authority, as appropriate. Issuance of a Part II Permit will be based upon a technical evaluation of the permit application and supporting documentation. Starting construction prior to obtaining a Part II Permit is a violation of The Clean Streams Law. Please include a copy of this approval correspondence with the Water Management Part II Permit Application when it is submitted to this office.
Other Departmental permits may be required for construction if encroachment to streams or wetlands will result. Information regarding the requirements for such permits or approvals can be obtained from the Northeast Regional Office's Soils and Waterways Section at the letterhead address or by telephoning (570) 826-2511.
