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.

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.

General Description: The Central Susquehanna Valley Transportation (CSVT) Project is a four lane limited access freeway that will connect the end of the Selinsgrove Bypass (US Routes 11 & 15) in Snyder County to the southern end of the SR 147 freeway in Northumberland County. The project has been divided into two sections for final design and construction purposes. The Southern Section starts at the Selinsgrove Bypass and continues to just south of SR 1022, County Line Road. The Northern Section starts at SR 1022, crosses the West Branch of the Susquehanna River near Winfield and continues north to SR 147.
This project was previously permitted as E49-333. This advertisement is for the amendment of that permit to include the following
1. Unnamed Tributary to the Susquehanna River (Channel 43) The previously permitted Stream enclosure at Station 1045+00 will be changed from a 60 inch Corrugated Metal pipe to a 72 inch Reinforced Concrete pipe with a 66 inch Corrugated Metal pipe inserted inside the 72 Inch Reinforced Concrete Pipe. This will result in no changes to the temporary or permanent impacts to the stream.
2. Unnamed Tributary to the Susquehanna River (Channel 42) The previously permitted Stream enclosure at Station 1005+00 will be changed from a 75 x 45 inch Reinforced Concrete pipe to a 76 x 48 Reinforced Concrete pipe. This will result in no changes to the temporary or permanent impacts to the stream.
3. Several outfalls to Unnamed Tributaries to the Susquehanna River will be removed, combined, or relocated.
4. Unnamed Tributary to the Susquehanna River (Channel 39) The previously permitted Stream enclosure at Station 974+00 will decrease the permanent impact by 25 Ft. and increase the temporary impact by 78 Ft.
5. Unnamed Tributary to the Susquehanna River (Channel 40) The previously permitted Stream enclosure at Station 974+00 will increase the permanent impact by 34 Ft. and decrease the temporary impact by 19 Ft.
6. Chillisquaque Creek (Channel 44) The previously permitted Bridge structures at Station 1082+00 will increase the permanent impact by 23 Ft. and increase the temporary impact by 5 Ft.
The project will be mitigated through the Center and Vargo wetland banks. The Unnamed Tributaries to the Susquehanna River are classified as a Warm Water Fishery by Title 25, Chapter 93 Water Quality Standards. This permit also includes 401 Water Quality Certification.

Proposed State Water Quality Certification Required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act for the Allegheny Lock & Dam # 2 Hydroelectric Project Southwest Region: Waterways & Wetlands Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, Rita A. Coleman, 412-442-4314.
WQ05-002, FFP Missouri 12, LLC (Applicant), 745 Atlantic Avenue, 8th Floor, Boston, MA 02111. Allegheny Lock & Dam # 2 Hydroelectric Project (Project). The proposed project is located at the existing Allegheny Lock & Dam # 2 facility, within the Allegheny River, at approximate river mile 6.7 (Pittsburgh East, PA USGS Topographic Quadrangle N: 40°, 29`, 22"; W: -79°, 54`, 49"), in Sharpsburg Borough and O'Hara Township, Allegheny County, Pittsburgh Corps District.
On February 3, 2014, Applicant filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), seeking a Hydropower License for its Project (FERC Docket No. P-13755). The FERC Environmental Assessment is still pending for the Project; however, the hydropower license application for this project may be viewed on FERC's website at www.ferc.gov (search eLibrary; Docket Search; P-13755).
On December 22, 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, will modify the existing lock and dam to construct a new intake channel, trash rack, powerhouse, tailrace channel, spillway, retaining wall, access road, parking area, substation and transmission line, in association with constructing a new, 17.0 MWs hydroelectric facility, for the purpose of generating electricity. The Project, as proposed, will require approximately 7.44 acres of earth disturbance, and permanent impacts to approximately 250 linear feet of the Allegheny River (WWF, N). In addition, the confluence of Guyasuta Run (WWF) with the Allegheny River will be relocated, downstream, by extending an existing, approximately 10' high, concrete arch culvert, by constructing an approximately 170 feet long, corrugated metal pipe arch, with a 17` span and an 11`-2" rise. Approximately 2.85 acres of floodway, and approximately 2.24 acres of the floodway fringe will also be permanently impacted by this project.
PADEP anticipates issuing a state water quality certification to Applicant for the Project that will require compliance with the following State water quality permitting programs, criteria and conditions established pursuant to State law to ensure the Project does not violate applicable State water quality standards set forth in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 93:
1. Discharge Permit—Applicant 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.

Code Chapter 102).
3. Water Obstruction and Encroachment Permits—Applicant 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.

9. Reservation of Rights—PADEP may suspend or revoke this State Water Quality Certification if it determines that Applicant has not complied with the terms and conditions of this certification. PADEP may require additional measures to achieve compliance with applicable law, subject to Applicant's applicable procedural and substantive rights.
10. Other Laws—Nothing in this State Water Quality Certification shall be construed to preclude the institution of any legal action or relieve Applicant from any responsibilities, liabilities, or penalties established pursuant to any applicable federal or state law or regulation.
