The project boundary consists of a 25.24 mile long by 50 foot permanent operational right-of-way. The purpose of the Constitution Pipeline is to provide 650,000 dekatherms per day of new firm natural gas transportation capacity from three reception points in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, to a proposed interconnection with the existing Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P. in Schoharie County, New York. The project also includes various aboveground facilities, including pig launcher and receiver facilities, meter stations, MLV's, access roads and contractor yards, which are proposed to be constructed to support the pipeline construction in Pennsylvania.
The Department, by this notice, proposes to certify that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project complies with the applicable provisions of sections 301—303, 306 and 307 of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311—1313, 1316 and 1317). The Department further proposes to certify that the construction, operation and maintenance of the projects complies with Commonwealth water quality standards and that the construction, operation and maintenance of the projects does not violate applicable Commonwealth water quality standards provided that the construction, operation and maintenance of the projects complies with the conditions proposed for this certification, including the criteria and conditions of the following permits:
1. Discharge Permit—Constitution Pipeline Company shall obtain and comply with a PADEP National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit for the discharge of water from the hydrostatic testing of the pipeline pursuant to Pennsylvania's Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and all applicable implementing regulations (25 Pa. Code Chapter 92a).
2. Erosion and Sediment Control Permit—Constitution Pipeline Company shall obtain and comply with PADEP's Chapter 102 Erosion and Sediment Control General Permit for Earth Disturbance Associated with Oil and Gas Exploration, Production, Processing or Treatment issued pursuant to Pennsylvania's Clean Streams Law and Storm Water Management Act (32 P. S. §§ 680.1—680.17) and all applicable implementing regulations (25 Pa. Code Chapter 102).
3. Water Obstruction and Encroachment Permits—Constitution Pipeline Company shall obtain and comply with a PADEP Chapter 105 Water Obstruction and Encroachment Permits for the construction, operation and maintenance of all water obstructions and encroachments associated with the project pursuant to Pennsylvania's Clean Streams Law, Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 673.1—693.27), and Flood Plain Management Act (32 P. S. §§ 679.101—679.601.) and all applicable implementing regulations (25 Pa. Code Chapter 105).
4. Water Quality Monitoring—PADEP retains the right to specify additional studies or monitoring to ensure that the receiving water quality is not adversely impacted by any operational and construction process that may be employed by Constitution Pipeline Company.
