   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.

Additional distribution system mains were installed along both sides of SR 0611 in Tannersville Village. The water service area and storage tank are supplied by a duplex booster pump station providing water out of the existing SMA distribution system. The pump station is equipped with telemetry controls, monitoring/alarm systems, and an emergency generator. The project also included 24 regulated stream crossings. Multiple crossings of SR 0611, S.R. 0314 and other State highways were performed via boring installation.
