The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P.S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the Department to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, will also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation; concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of reuse of the property; and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.

The permanent impacts to the wetlands are due to the placement of fill of 0.42 acre of the wetland to allow for a circular culvert installation and stone aprons at the inlet and outlet of the culvert.
The permanent impacts to the stream are due to the enclosure of 82 lineal feet of the channel within a box culvert. The permanent temporal impacts to the stream, 48 lineal feet, are associated with the provision of scour beds at the upstream and downstream ends of the culvert. The scour beds will be embedded one foot below the existing grades and covered with retained native material.
Stream and wetland impacts incurred at this site will be mitigated through credits acquired from First Pennsylvania Resources—Upper Susquehanna River Mitigation Banks Phases I & II. Bradford County Airport Authority has committed credits for 0.42 acre of wetlands from the USRMBII and 106 lineal feet of stream credits from USRMBI.

Request for Comments on the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Developed for
Montour Creek, Perry CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will accept comments as of July 14, 2018, for the proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) developed to address aquatic life use impairments in Montour Creek as noted in 2016 Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report, as initially listed in 1999. Montour Creek is a tributary of Shermans Creek and the greater Susquehanna River basin. The watershed lies near the town of Loysville (and Northwest of Landisville), in Tyrone and Spring Townships, Perry County. Biological impairments were originally noted during bioassessments in the watershed (SCRO, 1999). The source of degradation is related to agricultural activities, including grazing, which effect the Coldwater Fishery (CWF) attributes of Montour Creek. This Commonwealth does not currently have water quality criteria for sediment; therefore, a sediment TMDL endpoint was identified using a reference watershed approach. Based on a comparison to a similar watershed in land use, yet biologically nonimpaired, the maximum sediment loading should still allow water quality objectives to be met. Bixler Run, another CWF, was chosen for comparison and is also a tributary of Shermans Creek, Southwest and Northwest Madison Townships, Perry County.
This proposed TMDL sets allowable sediment loadings within the specifically impaired stream segments of the Montour Creek watershed. The loading was allocated among the land uses of cropland, hay/pasture land and associated stream banks present in the watershed. Data used in these TMDLs was generated using a watershed analysis model (MAPSHED) designed by the Penn State University. The following table shows the estimated current loadings for the watershed and the proposed overall load reductions that are necessary to reach an attaining CWF.
Table 1. Summary of TMDL based load reductions in Montour Creek (lbs./yr. and lbs./d.) Source TMDL WLA MOS LA LNR ALA Sediment 2,624,411.9 31,732.7 262,441.2 2,330,238.0 12,800.0 2,317,438.0 TMDL—Total Maximum Daily Load, WLA—Waste Load Allocation, MOS—Margin of Safety
LA—Load Allocation, LNR—Loads Not Reduced, ALA—Adjusted Load Allocation
Load allocations were distributed to nonpoint sources, specifically all land use sources other than National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permitted point source discharges with 10% of the TMDL reserved explicitly as a MOS. A search of the Department's online, GIS database, EMAP, identified two, point source discharges within the Montour Creek watershed. 1% of the TMDL was incorporated into the WLA as a bulk reserve to take in account future permit activity. The LNR are the portion of the LA associated with nonpoint sources other than agricultural (croplands, hay/pasture), and associated stream banks. It is equal to the sum of modeled loading on forested land use, wetlands, open space, and development. The ALA represents the remaining portion of the LA distributed among agricultural land and associated stream banks. The TMDL developed for the impaired stream segments within the Montour Creek watershed to establish a reduction in the overall, sediment loading to 25.5%. (or the equal percent reduction, that is, the ALA divided by the summation of the baselines). Data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available by contacting Bill Brown, Environmental Group Manager, Bureau of Clean Water, Central Office, Department of Environmental Protection, Rachel Carson State Office Building, Harrisburg, PA 17105, (717) 783-2951, willbrown@pa.gov. A copy of the proposed TMDLs can be obtained at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/watermgt/wqp/wqstandards/tmdl/Montour_Run_Sediment_TMDL.pdf.
The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDLs, which will be submitted to EPA for final approval. Written comments will be accepted 30 days after publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, as of July 14, 2018.
