Except as otherwise noted, the Department has granted 401 Water Quality Certification certifying that the construction and operation described will comply with 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 that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704. The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, PO Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483.

The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create a right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, the appeal 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 free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

Request for Comments and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the Octoraro Creek Watershed The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) held a public meeting on June 18th, 2013, at 2:30 p.m., at the East Drumore Township Building, 1246 Robert Fulton Highway, Quarryville, PA 17566. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL developed for the Octoraro Creek Watershed. In accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act, stream segments in the Octoraro Creek Watershed have been identified as impaired due to high levels of nutrients and sediment, as a result of agricultural land use.
The proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings to meet water quality standards at specified points in the Octoraro Creek Watershed for nutrients and sediment. Loads have been allocated to nonpoint sources. The TMDLs were established using ArcView Generalized Watershed Loading Function (AVGWLF) and Load Duration, PADEP-approved methods.
The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from PADEP. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on PADEP's website (www.dep.state.pa.us/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/). To request a copy of any of the TMDLs, contact Bill Brown, PADEP, Water Quality Assessment and Standards, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8467, Harrisburg, PA 17105, (717) 783-2951.
Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked no later than February 4th, 2014. PADEP will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval.
