[Saturday, May 12, 2018]

 The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has approved a 1-year administrative extension from October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019, of the following previously approved certifications of pollutant reduction activities to generate nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) credits under 25 Pa. Code § 96.8 (relating to use of offsets and tradable credits from pollution reduction activities in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed) that were set to expire on September 30, 2018. Proposed pollutant reduction activities include manure gasification or conversion technology and the following agriculture best management practices (BMP): continuous no-till planting methods (CNT); planting cover crops; conservation tillage; grass buffers; off-stream watering with fencing; and horse pasture management. These certification administrative extension approvals authorize the generation of N or P credits, or both, for use by facilities with National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits in the compliance year in which the credits are generated. This approval is valid until September 30, 2019, provided the pollution reduction activities are implemented, maintained and verified in accordance with the plans contained in the original approved certification requests.
