FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT SECTION 401 The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has taken the following actions on previously received permit applications, requests for Environmental Assessment approval and requests for Water Quality Certification under section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341).
Except as otherwise noted, the Department has granted 401 Water Quality Certification certifying that the construction and operation described will comply with the applicable provisions of sections 301--303, 306 and 307 of the FWPCA (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311--1313, 1316 and 1317) and that the construction will not violate applicable Federal and State water quality standards.
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 should 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.

The work involves the following:
1. To relocate 450 linear feet of an intermittent reach of an unnamed tributary of Pickering Creek (HQ-TSF) by constructing 540 linear feet of new stream channel along station 34+00 to 38+50 of the proposed Eagle Loop Road.
2. To construct and maintain approximately 32 linear feet of twin 29-inch by 42-inch CMP arch culverts in the relocated channel referenced in Item 1 associated with the construction of a pedestrian trail.
3. To relocate and modify approximately 1,170 linear feet of an intermittent reach of an unnamed tributary of Pickering Creek associated with the construction of the Park Road extension to connect Pottstown Pike (SR 0100) with the proposed Eagle Loop Road.
4. To construct and maintain approximately 94 linear feet of a 78-inch CMP culvert crossing of an intermittent reach of an unnamed tributary of Pickering Creek which will be relocated as referenced in Item 3 at station 38+40 of the proposed Eagle Loop Road. In addition to the 78-inch CMP culvert, an energy dissipation apron will be placed with the extents of Endwall 3.
5. To construct and maintain approximately 99 linear feet of 54-inch CMP culvert conveying stormwater runoff from the north and west of the intersection of Park Road and the Eagle Loop Road. In addition to the 54-inch CMP culvert, R-3 riprap will be placed within the extents of Endwall 4 for energy dissipation.
6. To place and maintain fill in 0.17 acre of wetland (PFO) at road station 19+50 to 21+50.
The project proposes to temporarily impact approximately 1,620 linear feet of stream, permanently impact approximately 200 linear feet of intermittent reaches of an unnamed tributary of Pickering Creek and 0.17 acre of adjacent wetland (PFO). The permittee will compensate for wetland losses by providing the construction of 0.34 acre of replacement wetlands (PEM/FO) offsite.
The issuance of this permit also constitutes approval of a Water Quality Certification under section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Pennsylvania Wetland Replacement Project The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has approved the following wetland restoration project for funding under the Pennsylvania Wetland Replacement Project (PWRP). The PWRP is a jointly managed fund between the Department and the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation established to offset wetland losses. Construction for the following project is anticipated to begin in the fall 2004. For further information, contact Alissa Myers, Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Waterways, Wetlands and Erosion Control, P. O. Box 8775, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8775, (717) 787-6827, almyers@state.pa.us.
Project No. D03G23-002. Sponsored by Radnor Township, the primary objective of this two-phase, 1.0+ acre emergent wetland creation in the Valley Run Watershed of the Delaware River drainage is wildlife habitat and education. The project is in Radnor Township, Delaware County.
BUREAU OF DEEP MINE SAFETY
Approval of Request for Variance The Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety (Bureau) has approved AMFIRE Mining Company's request for a variance from the requirements of section 242(c) of the Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Mine Act (act) at the Madison Mine. This notification contains a summary of this request and the basis for the Department's approval. A complete copy of the variance request may be obtained from Allison Gaida, (724) 439-7469 or from the Bureau's website: www.dep. state.pa.us/dep/deputate/minres/dms/dms.htm.
Summary of the Request: AMFIRE Mining Company, LLC requested a variance from section 242(c) of the act to allow for the common ventilation of belt conveyor entry with other entries at the Madison Mine. The proposal accords protections to persons and property substantially equal to or greater than the requirements set forth in the act.
The basis for the Bureau's tentative approval is summarized as follows:
1. The Pyott-Boone 9500 CO Monitoring System will provide advance warning of a developing mine fire originating in the conveyor belt entry. When maintained and operating correctly, this system provides warnings much earlier than the point type heat sensors.
2. Common entries would permit the larger section mantrip and scoops access to belt entry for transportation of personnel and supplies.
3. The operator will maintain a separate isolated intake escapeway that is at a higher air pressure than the belt and common entries.
4. The plan provides for the common entries to serve as an alternate intake escapeway. There will be a total of three separate, isolated escape routes.
This approval is limited to a variance from section 242(c) of the act requiring that the belt entry is isolated from other entries. All other terms and requirements of section 242(c) of the act shall remain in effect. Continued authorization for operation under the approval is contingent upon compliance with the measures described in the plan and the following conditions:
1. All mine employees shall be task trained in the Pyott Boone Model 9500 CO monitoring system alert and alarm response procedures. These procedures shall also be included in the 8-hour annual retraining.
2. A test button shall be installed to allow a daily function check of the outside surface alarm system. A competent person shall make this daily function test and a record of this test shall be maintained on file at the mine.
3. As part of the requirements of section 228 of the act, all belt entries, common entries and unfenced roadways shall be preshifted in their entirety.
4. A preshift date board should be placed at each CO sensor location.
5. Designated areas shall be established at strategic locations along the belt entry and common entry to determine whether the air is traveling in the proper course and normal volume. This air reading shall be taken by a scientific means (anemometer, chemical smoke tube and velometer).
