[47 Pa.B. 3780]
[Saturday, July 8, 2017]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 VCG Properties, LLC is proposing to construct a culvert to enclose a portion of the West Branch Cascade Creek in the City of Erie, Erie County.
The applicant proposes to enclose approximately 282 feet of West Branch Cascade Creek in the south portion of the West Erie Plaza to accommodate parking and visibility for a proposed new retail structure along 12th Street. The section of the stream proposed to be enclosed presently flows within an open asphalt modified channel.
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 the 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), VCG Properties, LLC has certified 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.
Questions regarding this review should be directed to Matthew Walderon, Federal Consistency Coordinator, at (717) 772-2196 or RA-Fed_Consistency@pa.gov.
The Department will consider all comments received no later than July 24, 2017, before issuing a final Federal consistency concurrence or objection.
