SPECIAL NOTICES
Application for an Erosion and Sediment Control Permit for Earth Disturbance Activities Associated with Oil and Gas Exploration, Production, Processing or Treatment Operations or Transmission Facilities
RH Energytrans, LLC, Risberg Pipeline Northwest Region: Waterways & Wetlands Program Manager, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335-3481.
ESP062518001. RH Energytrans, LLC (Applicant), 558 West Sixth Street, Suite 200, Erie, PA 16507. Risberg Line (Project), in Washington, Elk Creek, Conneaut and Springfield Townships in Erie County and East Fairfield, East Mead, Woodcock, Cambridge, Venango and Cussewago Townships in Crawford County, ACOE Pittsburgh District. The proposed Pennsylvania portion of the project starts at the interconnection/tie-in at the existing Tennessee Gas Pipeline 200 Line along Harvey Road, approximately 0.7 mile northeast of SR 322 (Cochranton, PA Quadrangle N: 41.544658°; W: 80.068591°) in East Fairfield Township, Crawford County, extending generally north and west crossing through portions of East Fairfield, East Mead, Woodcock, Cambridge, Venango and Cussewago Townships in Crawford County and Washington, Elk Creek, Conneaut and Springfield Townships in Erie County, to where it will cross the Ohio border approximately 0.6 mile south of where Interstate 90 crosses the State line (Conneaut, OH Quadrangle N: 41.928212°; W: 80.519379°) in Springfield Township, Erie County.
Today's Pennsylvania Bulletin includes notices for a request for State Water Quality Certification (WQ06-002) required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act and a Chapter 105 Joint Permit (E25-791) application under Pennsylvania's Dam Safety and Encroachments Act which are under review by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). The tie-in location for this Project in East Fairfield Township, Crawford County will also require a General Permit 5 (GP052018601) for a pipeline crossing of a wetland and a General Permit 8 (GP082018601) for a temporary equipment crossing of a wetland which are being reviewed by the Crawford County Conservation District.
The Project, as proposed in Pennsylvania, includes the conversion of approximately 26.6 miles of existing 12-inch natural gas gathering pipeline to transmission pipeline [from N:41.544658°; W:80.068591° to N:41.855941°; W:80.187377°], the conversion of approximately 5 miles of existing 8-inch natural gas gathering pipeline to transmission pipeline [from N:41.855941°; W:80.187377° to N:41.858780°; W:80.282057°], and the construction of approximately 16.7 miles of new 12-inch transmission pipeline [from N:41.858780°; W:80.282057° to N:41.928212°; W:80.519379°] for the purpose of transporting natural gas from East Fairfield Township, Crawford County, PA to the Ohio border in Springfield Township, Erie County. The Project also includes the construction of an additional 11.8 miles of new 12-inch natural gas transmission pipeline from the PA-OH border west to North Kingsville, OH [N:41.907349°; W:80.689399°], but this portion of the Project will not be authorized by the Department. Pipeline work also includes modification of two existing compressor stations, cathodic protection, and numerous temporary access roads and staging areas to support construction and facility access. Numerous stream and wetland crossings will occur along the project route as described as follows. The new construction portion of the pipeline route has been co-located to parallel/overlap existing utility and road ROWs for a total of 10.78 miles in PA.
The Project, as proposed, will require approximately 146 acres of earth disturbance (143 acres in Erie County; 3 acres in Crawford County), the crossing of 58 streams (including floodways of streams not crossed by the pipeline) resulting in 1,159 linear feet of temporary impact and 4,236 linear feet of permanent impacts to the following surface waters: Turkey Creek (CWF) and tributaries; Raccoon Creek (CWF) and tributaries; East Branch Conneaut Creek (CWF) and tributaries, tributaries to Crooked Creek (HQ-CWF), tributaries to Conneaut Creek (CWF), and tributaries to Temple Creek (CWF); 11.258 acres of temporary wetland impact; 10.078 acres of permanent wetland impacts. All crossings will be installed by open trench, with the exception of East Branch Conneaut Creek, which will be installed by conventional bore.
For more detailed information regarding the Erosion and Sediment Control Permit related to this proposed project, which is available in the Department's regional office, contact Lori Boughton at (814) 332-6879 to request a file review.
