Certification Request Initiated by: Erie Western Pennsylvania Port Authority, Raymond P. Schreckengost, Executive Director, 17 West Dobbins Landing, Erie, PA 16507-1424.
Date of Initial Pennsylvania Bulletin Notice: March 4, 2000.
Project Description: The Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has requested a State certification, under Section 401(a) of the Federal Clean Water Act (35 U.S.C.A. § 1341(a)) that the discharge of dredged material from the East Avenue Launch Ramp 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 into 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 approximately 450 cubic yards of basin sediments from the East Avenue Launch Ramp (Erie North, PA N: 3.6 inches; W: 8.9 inches) discharged into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (Erie North, PA N: 4.7 inches; W:10.3 inches) will have a relatively insignificant effect on the water quality of Lake Erie. This 401 Water Quality Certification is only for this single activity. Any subsequent dredging of the East Avenue Launch Ramp basin and use of the CDF will require separate 401 Water Quality Certification.
Location: Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (Erie North, PA N: 4.7 inches; W: 10.3 inches).
Final Action on Request: Certification granted. This is a one-time certification for the above described project.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) under section 401(a) of the Federal Clean Water 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 that act, and that the construction will not violate applicable Federal and State water quality standards, provided the following requirements are met.

Date of Initial Pennsylvania Bulletin Notice: March 4, 2000.
Project Description: Section 401 Water Quality Certification for the dredging of approximately 1,175 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).

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.'' It was also requested that 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.
Final Action on Request: Certification granted. This is a 1-year certification for the above described project.
