NOTICES

Federal Consistency under the Coastal Zone Management Act; Maintenance Dredging in Nesham- iny State Park

[47 Pa.B. 4218]
[Saturday, July 29, 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 the All Seasons Marina is seeking a 10-year United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) permit for maintenance dredging of the marina basin located in Neshaminy State Park, Bucks County.

 The applicant is seeking USACE authorization for an initial dredge event followed by up to three additional maintenance dredging events over the duration of the 10-year permit. Each dredging event is proposed to remove up to 21,000 cubic yards of accumulated sediments to a depth of -4 feet at mean low water with up to 2 feet of allowable over-dredge. The maximum volume of material to be dredged is 84,000 cubic yards. Dredged material will be disposed in an existing 6.4-acre confined disposal facility immediately to the east of the marina basin.

 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), All Seasons Marina has determined 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 August 14, 2017, before issuing a final Federal consistency concurrence or objection. Comments, including comments submitted by e-mail, must include the originator's name and address. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted. Commentators are encouraged to submit comments using the Department's eComment system at www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/eComment. Written comments may also be submitted by e-mail to ecomment@pa.gov or by mail to the Policy Office, Department of Environmental Protection, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101.
