Proposed State Water Quality Certification
Required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act
for the Equitrans, L.P. TP-371 Pipeline Replacement ProjectSouthwest Region: Waterways & Wetlands Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, Rita A. Coleman, 412-442-4000.
EA03-005-A2, Equitrans, L.P. (Applicant), 625 Liberty Avenue, Suite 1700, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3114. TP-371 PL Replacement Project (Project), in Conemaugh and Young Townships and Borough of Blairsville, Indiana County and Burrell, Cowanshannock, Kittanning, Kiskiminetas, Plumcreek, and South Bend Townships Armstrong County, in ACOE Pittsburgh District. The proposed project starts approximately 0.8 mile south of the intersection of State Route 85 and Margaret Road in Cowanshannock Township, Armstrong County (Rural Valley, PA Quadrangle Latitude: 40°, 47`, 31"; Longitude: -79°, 21`, 52") and ends approximately 0.35 mile northeast of the intersection of Saltsburg Road and Clarksburg Road in Conemaugh Township, Indiana County (McIntire, PA Quadrangle Latitude: 40°, 30`, 52"; Longitude: -79°, 20`, 57").
On July 10, 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 its Project (FERC Docket No. CP15-528). The FERC Environmental Assessment for the Project, which was issued on March 1, 2016 may be viewed on FERC's website at www.ferc.gov (search eLibrary; Docket Search; CP15-528). The Partial Notice to Proceed with Construction Activities was issued on May 6, 2016.
On October 26, 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. State water quality certification was granted on March 17, 2016.
The previously approved project (DEP File # EA03-005) allowed approximately 331 acres of earth disturbance, and impacts to approximately 6,987 linear feet of Huskins Run (WWF), Cherry Run (CWF), Long Run (WWF), Fagley Run (WWF), Crooked Creek (WWF), Whiskey Run (CWF), Nesbit Run (CWF), Blacklegs Creek (CWF), Marshall Run (CWF), and Unnamed Tributaries of Huskins Run (WWF), Cherry Run (CWF), Fagley Run (WWF), Crooked Creek (WWF), Whisky Run (CWF), Nesbit Run (CWF), and Marshall Run (CWF), 3.44 acres of temporary Palustrine Emergent and Palustrine Scrub Shrub wetland impacts, and 0.83 acre of Palustrine Emergent and Palustrine Scrub Shrub permanent impacts.
Most recently, on September 20, 2016, 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) for proposed revisions to the previously approved line route, 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.
In order to amend the Project as approved by FERC, the applicant anticipates submitting a variance request under the same docket number. Once submitted, the request may be viewed on FERC's website at www.ferc.gov (search eLibrary; Docket Search; CP15-528).
The Project includes the replacement of approximately 21 miles of 12-inch diameter pipeline with 20-inch diameter pipeline, for the purpose of allowing for the modernization of the TP-371 pipeline for integrity assessment through the use of in-line inspection. The replacement pipeline will be offset 10 to 15 feet from the existing pipeline. The existing 12-inch pipeline will be abandoned in place. The new pipeline will utilize portions of the existing right-of-way during construction. Approximately 19.2 miles, or 91.4% of the proposed Project will be collocated with existing ROW. Ancillary facilities proposed as part of the Project include a pig launcher receiver, cathodic protection ground beds and mainline valves that will be installed along the proposed pipeline. In addition, tie-ins will be transferred over to the new pipeline via pipeline taps to maintain service to customers. The Project will also include the abandonment and/or replacement of pigging facilities as well as existing ancillary facilities such as taps and valves. The project will also utilize horizontal directional drilling techniques for 2 locations.
One new permanent and thirteen new temporary access roads are planned for the Project. Two permanent and twenty-six access roads will utilize existing access or paved driveways. The pipeline shall be installed using a typical 100-foot wide limit of disturbance (LOD) for pipeline construction with areas of temporary work space adjacent to the LOD, and a typical 25-foot LOD for the access roads to allow access to the pipeline. The construction ROW will be reduced to a 75-foot-width at streams and wetlands. The permanent ROW width will be 50 feet centered on the pipeline. There is no anticipated permanent increase in impervious area or in stormwater runoff due to the construction of the pipeline.
The proposed revisions will involve a re-routing of three discontinuous sections of the previously approved pipeline route within the Cherry Run Watershed (approximately 1,750 LF of 20" diameter pipeline, 6,545 LF of 20" diameter pipeline, and 1,647 LF of 20" diameter pipeline), and will involve approximately 11.7 acres of new earth disturbance, and impacts to approximately 271.5 linear feet of Unnamed Tributaries of Cherry Run (CWF). These modifications reduce overall stream impacts associated with the project by 1,321.1 linear feet of unnamed tributaries of Cherry Run (CWF). The net impact is -1,049.6 linear feet to unnamed tributaries of Cherry Run. Additionally, these proposed modifications result in fewer impacts to wetlands. The proposed modification will result in 4 fewer Palustrine Emergent wetland crossings, reducing wetland impacts associated with the project by 4,699.7 square feet. No new wetland crossings are anticipated.
PADEP anticipates issuing a state water quality certification to Applicant for the Project revisions 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:
