MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P.S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* * The parameter is applicable at all times. A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters the Department may require.
Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 563-2112-115, Developing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for Mining Activities. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

This activity includes the placement of scour protection for pier and abutments.
2) To remove existing bridge and abutments to facilitate positive stormwater drainage to East Branch Brandywine Creek (Channel 1) (WWF/MF) resulting in 1,935 square feet of permanent impact. This work also includes the construction of a drainage swale and the permanent placement of rock apron upstream of the removed left abutment.
3) To construct two (2) temporary causeways to facilitate the removal of the existing pier and construction of the new pier at the new bridge location.
4) To construct two (2) drainage swales with rock aprons in association with the realignment of left and right roadway approaches upstream of proposed bridge over East Branch Brandywine Creek (Channel 1) (WWF/MF) resulting in 687 square feet of permanent impact.
5) To relocate an unnamed tributary to East Branch Brandywine Creek (Channel 3) (WWF/MF) and place fill within wetland (Wetland B) (PEM/PSS) in association with the realignment of right roadway approach resulting in 472 linear feet (3,867 square feet) of permanent stream impact and 511 square feet (0.012 acre) of permanent wetland impact.
6) To permanently place a rock apron at the outfall of an existing 18-inch RCP culvert and grade channel (Channel 3A) to facilitate positive stormwater drainage to relocated unnamed tributary to East Branch Brandywine Creek (Channel 3).
7) To extend a 42-inch RCP culvert and place fill within an unnamed tributary to East Branch Brandywine Creek (Channel 2) (WWF/MF) and wetland (Wetland C) (PEM/PSS) associated with the realignment of left roadway approach resulting in 71 feet (497 square feet) of permanent stream impact and 8,795 square feet (0.202 acre) of permanent wetland impact.
8) To permanently place fill, grade, construct a rock-lined channel and install compacted impervious material within the 100-year floodway of the East Branch Brandywine Creek (Channel 1) (WWF/MF) to facilitate the construction of a wetland mitigation site resulting in 441 linear feet (13,509 square feet) of permanent stream impact.
The project will have a total permanent watercourse impact of 719 linear feet (12,072 square feet) with 403 linear feet (21,104 square feet) of temporary watercourse impact. A total permanent floodway impact of 38,266 square feet (0.878 acre) with 87,578 square feet (2.011 acres) of temporary floodway impact is proposed.
