Federal Consistency under the Coastal Zone Management Act

[44 Pa.B. 5398]
[Saturday, August 9, 2014]

 This notice is published under section 306(d)(14) of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C.A. § 1455(d)(14)), regarding public participation during consistency determinations. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Coastal Resources Management Program has received notice that the Department of Transportation (DOT) District 6-0 is proposing the SR 0095 Section BR0 project. The purpose of the SR 0095 Section BR0 project is to improve traffic movement along the I-95 mainline and establish access between the Betsy Ross Bridge and local streets. The project involves ramp reconstruction within the Betsy Ross Interchange area, including the construction of temporary roadway tie-ins to Aramingo Avenue. The proposed ramp reconfiguration for the project includes new ramp structures, structure replacement and structure rehabilitation over and along Frankford Creek. The project also involves the removal of the Thompson Street Bridge over Frankford Creek and the relocation of an existing Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) operated culvert which crosses the mainline and outlets to Frankford Creek. In addition, the project includes the construction of stormwater basins within the Betsy Ross Interchange area and new stormwater discharge culvert outfalls to Frankford Creek as a result of the relocated PWD culvert and roadway drainage design. Overall, three PWD operated outfall structures will be replaced as a result of the project and eight drainage outfalls are proposed along the banks to Frankford Creek to accommodate stormwater discharge. For the proposed culvert outfalls associated with the project, minor temporary and permanent stream impacts are anticipated.

 DOT is requesting Federal authorization from the United States Army Corps of Engineers under section 404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1344) (CENAP-OP-R-2013-00021-75). This project is subject to Department review for Federal consistency because it is a Federal license and permit activity and will have reasonably foreseeable effects on this Commonwealth's coastal resources or uses.

 In accordance with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) regulations in 15 CFR Part 930, Subpart D (relating to consistency for activities requiring a Federal license or permit), DOT District 6-0 has determined that the proposed activity will be conducted in a manner consistent with the applicable enforceable policies of the Commonwealth's NOAA-approved Coastal Resources Management Program. Interested parties may request a copy of the Federal Consistency Certification from the Department contact listed as follows.

 The Department will consider all comments received by August 25, 2014, before issuing a final Federal consistency concurrence or objection. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted. Comments, including comments submitted by e-mail must include the originator's name and address. Written comments should be submitted to Matt Walderon, Federal Consistency Coordinator, Interstate Waters Office, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8465, Harrisburg, PA 17101-8465, (717) 772-2196, RA-Fed_Consistency@pa.gov.
