LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P. S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Section 250.8 of 25 Pa. Code and administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation; concentration ofregulated substances in environmental media; benefits of reuse of the property; and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office.

The proposed project starts at existing compressor Station 317 at mile post MP 317 0+00 at a point along the existing 300 line pipeline, Sta. 0 + 00 (MP 0) (Canton, PA Quadrangle N: 41°44`17.04", W: 76°47`54.07") and ends at a point at the Pennsylvania/New York Border at Sta. 1979 + 13 (MP 37.48) (Susquehanna, PA Quadrangle N: 41°59`56.57", W: 75°32`28.28").
On October 9, 2015, Applicant filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C. § 717f) seeking a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to construct and operate it Project (FERC Docket No. CP 16-21). The FERC Environmental Assessment for the Project, when available, may be viewed on FERC's website at www.ferc.gov (search eLibrary; Docket Search; CP 16-21).
On November 25, 2015, Applicant requested a state water quality certification from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), as required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1341), to ensure that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project will protect water quality in Pennsylvania through compliance with State water quality standards and associated State law requirements, which are consistent with the requirements of the Clean Water Act.
The Project, as proposed, includes approximately a 78.42 mile long, 36-inch and 30-inch pipeline (Pennsylvania Portion) for the purpose of transporting natural gas from a point at existing compressor Station 317 at mile post MP 317 0+00 along the 300 line pipeline, Sta. 0 + 00 (MP 0) to a point along the Pennsylvania/New York Border at Sta. 1979 + 13 (MP 37.48). The Project, as proposed, will require approximately 1,754 acres of earth disturbance, and impacts to 2,896 linear feet of UNT's to South Branch Sugar Creek, North Branch Towanda Creek, Little Tuscarora Creek, Fargo Creek, Transue Creek, White Creek, East Branch Martins Creek, East Lake Creek, Lewis Creek, and Mud Creek, Preacher Brook, French Run, Towanda Creek, Ellis Creek, Bennetts Creek, Susquehanna River, Brewer Creek, Wyalusing Creek, Mill Creek, Dug Road Creek, Tuscarora Creek, Little Meshoppen Creek, Nick Creek, Riley Creek, Meshoppen Creek, Hop Bottom Creek, Martins Creek, Meylert Creek, Wellmans Creek, Salt Lick Creek, Drinker Creek, Canawacta Creek, Starrucca Creek, Little Roaring Brook and unnamed tributaries (CWF, WWF, TSF, HQ-CWF), 31 acres of floodway impacts, 55.77 acres of temporary PEM/PSS/PFO wetland impacts, and 4.38 acres of PSS/PFO impacts.
