Code §§ 127.44, 127.45, 127.48, 92a.82 and 92a.83 that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will hold a public hearing on Wednesday January 21, 2015, from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. at South Huntingdon Township Turkeytown Volunteer Fire Department at 90 Supervisor Drive West Newton, PA 15089. There will be an open house immediately preceding the public hearing beginning at 6:00 p.m.
The hearing is to take testimony concerning the DEP's intent to issue plan approval no. 65-00990C and NPDES Permit PA0254771 to Tenaska Pennsylvania Partners, LLC (Tenaska) for the construction, temporary operation (plan approval), the discharge of treated cooling tower blowdown, low volume wastewater and stormwater to the Youghiogheny River (NPDES) from a proposed 930—1,065 MW combined cycle natural gas-fired electric generating facility known as the Westmoreland Generating Station in South Huntingdon Township, Westmoreland County. In addition, the NPDES permit authorizes discharges of stormwater from parking lots and vegetated areas to Barren Run and an Unnamed Tributary to the Youghiogheny River. The DEP published a separate notice of intent to issue this plan approval in today's Pennsylvania Bulletin to allow for public comment regarding this proposal. In accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82 the Department published a separate notice of the draft NPDES permit in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on March 8, 2014 and again on July 12, 2014 to allow for public comment regarding this proposal. Appointments may be made to review the DEP files on this case by calling the File Review Coordinator at 412-442-4000.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 127.48, 127.49, 92a.82 and 92a.83 the DEP will accept and record testimony concerning Tenaska's applications. Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Community Relations Coordinator John Poister at 412-442-4203 before 3:00 p.m. on January 21, 2015. Individuals who do not register may also present testimony the day of the hearing. Organizations are encouraged to designate one witness to present testimony on behalf of the organization. Persons unable to attend the hearing may submit three copies of a written statement and exhibits within 10 days thereafter to the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Air Quality Program or Clean Water Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA, 15222. Written submittals must contain the name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the comments, identification of the proposed Plan Approval (PA-65-00990C) or NPDES Permit (PA0254771) and a concise statement of the objections to the plan approval or NPDES Permit issuance and the relevant facts upon which the objections are based.

Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Developed for the Portion of the Anderson Creek Watershed Affected by Nutrient Impairment (Subbasin 2—Kratzer and Bilger Runs); Grampian Township, Clearfield County The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments as of December 20, 2014 for the proposed TMDL developed for the portion of the Anderson Creek watershed affected by nutrient impairment, Grampian Township, Clearfield County, PA. This TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The 2012 Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included impaired stream segments in this watershed. The listings of these waterbodies were due to aquatic impairments caused primarily by agricultural activities and some on-site wastewater (as of the 2003 TMDL report). There are currently no state or federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for total phosphorus. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria.
This proposed TMDL sets allowable loadings within the specifically impaired stream segments of the portion of the Anderson Creek watershed (Subbasin 2 - Kratzer and Bilger Runs). The loading was allocated among the land uses of cropland, hay/pasture land, and associated transitional/disturbed land present in the watershed. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University. The following table shows the estimated current loadings for the watershed. Overall load reductions necessary in order to meet the TMDLs are also identified.

Department of Environmental Protection to Withdraw the Sediment and Nutrient TMDLs for
Chickies Creek WatershedPennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to withdraw, subject to United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval, the established sediment and nutrient Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the Chickies Creek (aka Chiques Creek) watershed. DEP developed, and EPA approved, sediment and nutrient TMDLs for the Chickies Creek watershed on April 9, 2001. DEP will work with stakeholders and other agencies to develop an alternative pollutant reduction plan for the watershed.
The Rationale for Withdrawal document can be accessed through the DEP website (http://www.dep.state.pa.us), DEP keyword: TMDL. Select Chickies Creek TMDL by name.
Please direct any questions about the Chickies Creek TMDL withdrawal to Mr. Bill Brown at (717) 783-2951 or willbrown@pa.gov.
