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 AT&T 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. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.

 For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.

 Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

 (Trout Run, PA Quadrangle N: 41° 22` 35"; W: 77° 04` 00").

 To stabilize and improve aquatic habitat along a 4,800-foot section of Lycoming Creek. The project will involve relocation of the stream to a relic channel. A total of nine rock vanes and six log vanes will be constructed throughout the length of the reconstructed channel. The stream restoration work will result in impacts to 3,300 linear feet of Lycoming Creek, and 1.35 acres of PEM/PEM-SS wetlands. The wetland area that will be created in the abandoned stream channel will exceed the wetland acreage affected by the channel relocation. This activity has been authorized under Section 105.12(a) (16) as a restoration waiver. This environmental assessment grants Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act [33 U.S.C.A. 1341(a)].

 The Little Schuylkill River TMDL, originally approved by USEPA in March 2007, has been revised to reflect the inclusion of wasteload allocations for additional NPDES permits not included in the originally approved TMDL.

 The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL, contact Jennifer Orr, TMDL Development Section, Watershed Protection Division, Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, P. O. Box 8555, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8555, (717) 772-5670, e-mail jeorr@state.pa.us.

 Written and Email comments will be accepted at the above addresses and must be received by October 30, 2009. Comments will not be accepted by facsimile or voice mail. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to EPA for approval.

Availability of Final Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs)

 The Department of Environmental Protection has developed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the watersheds listed below. The TMDL sets the pollutant loading amounts for impaired waters that are allocated among the sources in the watershed. These TMDLs have been approved by EPA and satisfy the Department's obligations under section 303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act.
