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.
Actions on applications for the following activities filed under the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1—693.27), section 302 of the Floodplain Management Act (32 P.

To operate and maintain: 1) a 30-foot by 12-foot manufactured steel beam portable bridge with a wood deck, an 18-foot clear span, and a 26-inch underclearance over Laurel Run; and 2) a 100-foot long rock lined road-side ditch that outlets into Laurel Run at the upstream left edge of the bridge, for the purpose of permanently maintaining an existing bridge for future timbering and taking care of wildlife food plots located 1/2 mile down Gettig Lane from SR 445 and 775 feet north under an existing power line. This permit was issued under Section 105.13(e) ''Small Projects.'' This permit also includes 401 Water Quality Certification.
E14-530. Department of Transportation, Engineering District 2-0, 1924 Daisy Street Extension, Clearfield, PA 16830.

The applicant proposes to replace a single span, single lane I-beam bridge with a single span, two lane concrete box culvert over an Unnamed Tributary to Cedar Run (also known as Mackey Run). The proposed box culvert will be located approximately 150 feet north of the existing structure along the existing roadway alignment. Approximately 250 feet of stream will be relocated and will result in a loss of approximately 84 feet of stream. The stream relocation will eliminate two 90° curves as well as two culverts used to access the adjacent property. The stream relocation will utilize a natural stream design featuring a low flow channel and log structures to provide aquatic habitat and stream stability. The Unnamed Tributary to Cedar Run is classified as a Cold Water Fishery by 25 Pa. Code Chapter 93. This project does not propose to impact any jurisdictional wetlands. This permit also includes 401 Water Quality Certification.

This permit was issued under Section 105.13(e) ''Small Projects.''

Construction of the natural gas pipeline and associated right-of-ways will require nineteen (19) stream and ten (10) wetland crossings as follows:

All pipeline crossings shall be placed beneath streambeds and wetlands so there will be a minimum of 3 feet of cover between the top of the pipe and the lowest point in the streambed or wetland. Trench plugs or clay dikes shall be used at every waterway and wetland crossing to ensure the existing hydrology is not altered. As proposed, the project will not impact any wetlands or streams.
