Clean Water Act for the
Adelphia Gateway, LLC Project Permit No. EA00012-001, Adelphia Gateway, LLC, 1415 Wyckoff Road, Wall, NJ 07727, Adelphia Gateway Project, in Delaware County (Chester, Concord, Lower Chichester, Thornberry Townships, and Trainer Borough); Chester County (East Goshen, East Whiteland, Charlestown, and East Pikeland Townships); Montgomery County (Skippack and Perkiomen Townships); Bucks County (Richlandtown Borough and West Rockhill Township); and Northampton County (Lower Mount Bethel Township); Philadelphia District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The proposed project starts at Martins Creek (Latitude: 40.7933; Longitude: -75.1314) and ends at Marcus Hook (Latitude: 39.8148; Longitude: -75.4386).
On January 12, 2018, Applicant filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C.A. § 717f) seeking a certificate of public convenience and necessity to construct and operate its Project (FERC Docket Nos. CP18-46-000 and CP18-46-001). The FERC Environmental Assessment for the Project, which was issued on January 4, 2019, may be viewed on FERC's website at www.ferc.gov (search eLibrary; Docket Search; CP18-46-000 and CP18-46-001). FERC issued a Certificate of Public Convenience (Docket Nos. CP18-46-000 and CP18-46-001) on December 20, 2019.
On March 4, 2019, the Applicant requested a State water quality certification (SWQC) from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), as required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341), to ensure that the construction, operation, and maintenance of the Project will protect water quality in Pennsylvania consistent with the requirements of State law and the Clean Water Act. Public notice of receipt of request for 401 certifications was published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on March 16, 2019 (49 Pa.B. 1219—1221).
The Project as proposed, includes use of 84.2 miles of existing 18-inch pipeline and 4.4 miles of new 18-inch and 4.4 miles of new 20-inch pipelines to transport natural gas from Martins Creek, Northampton County to Marcus Hook, Delaware County. In addition, the Project proposes to construct the following new facilities along the existing mainline:
In total, the Project proposes to construct the following new and/or upgraded facilities along the 84.2 miles of existing mainline pipeline:
• Two (2) 5,625 horsepower compressor stations
• One 4.4 miles of 20-inch pipeline
• One 4.4 mile 16-inch lateral (a.k.a. Tilghman Lateral)
• One 0.3 mile 16-inch pipeline lateral (a.k.a. Parkway Lateral)
• Five (5) meter stations
• Two (2) mainline valves (MLVs)
• Seven (7) blowdown assembly valves (BAV) at existing MLVs
• Four (4) pig launcher/receiver facilities
• Two (2) tap valves
• One (1) ware yard within limits of the existing Marcus Hook Pump Station for the storage of pipe and contractors' facilities
The potential for discharges exists due to the construction activities associated with the Project from stormwater runoff, sediment, hydrostatic test water, potential spills from construction equipment, and construction in and around contaminated sites. The potential discharges will be managed, and pollution will be prevented by obtaining and abiding to DEP permits, permit conditions, and contingency plans discussed below. Restoration measures will be implemented to restore and revegetate temporarily disturbed areas and impacted resources. Once the Project is constructed, the pipeline will transport natural gas and should not pose a risk of impacts to Regulated waters of this Commonwealth (Waters), provided the pipeline is properly operated and maintained.
With regards to Public Participation, DEP published public notice of a draft SWQC for this project in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on March 16, 2019 (49 Pa.B. 1219—1221). The draft SWQC public notice requested comments about the project be sent to DEP within 30 days of notice. DEP also published notice of the applicant's CZMA Federal Consistency Certification in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on January 19, 2019 (49 Pa.B. 339—340). Comments on the applicant's Federal consistency certification were accepted for 30 days. Comments from the public on this request for SWQC were received and concerned the potential impacts to water quality and aquatic resources, and these comments were considered in the technical review of pending applications for State permits as well as those permit applications required as a condition of the SWQC.
