LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.908).
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.

5) A stream crossing of a UNT to Black River (CWF, MF) and 0.01-acre of adjacent PFO/PSS/PEM wetlands (EV) consisting of a 28-LF, 30-inch diameter reinforced concrete culvert having concrete wingwalls and an invert depressed 6-inches below existing streambed elevation.
6) A fill within 0.12-acre of the 50-foot floodway of a UNT to Black River (CWF, MF) consisting of a portion of an office building and associated grading, a portion of a 12-space parking lot and associated grading, a portion of a 20-foot wide asphalt access road and associated grading, a portion of a 21-space parking lot and associated grading, and portions of various stormwater management facilities. These impacts will result in a net fill of +16,902 ft3 within the floodway.
7) A stormwater outfall within the floodway of a UNT to Black River (CWF, MF) consisting of a 24-LF, 12-inch diameter perforated subsurface level spreader.
The project is located at 3725 Old Philadelphia Pike in Bethlehem, approximately 300-ft southwest of the intersection of S.R. 378 and West Raders Lane (Allentown East, PA Quadrangle Latitude: 40° 35` 16.79" Longitude: -75° 23` 14.47") in Lower Saucon Township, Northampton County.

E4129220-030: ARD Operating, LLC, 33 West Third Street, Suite 300, Williamsport, PA 17701. Mallory Group Pad A in Cascade & Plunketts Creek Township, Lycoming County, ACOE Baltimore District.
To construct, operate and maintain a permanent 330` × 570` stone natural gas well pad and approximately 0.88-mile (4,645 ft) newly constructed access road off of the Bieber Sisters Pad A access road in Cascade and Plunketts Creek Township, Lycoming County.
Additionally, the project proposes the installation of two (2) 12" diameter HDPE temporary water lines (TAGWL) measuring approximately 0.88-mile (4,670 ft) to be located along the north side of the proposed access road. The purpose of this project is to provide a conveyance of low-pressure natural gas between the existing Bieber Sisters Pad A and proposed Mallory Group Pad A.
The project will result in a total of 121 LF (780 SF) of permanent and 127 LF (852 SF) of temporary stream impacts, 10,305 SF (0.2366 acre) of permanent and 8,218 SF (0.1887 acre) of temporary floodway impacts all for the purpose of constructing a natural gas pipeline for Marcellus well development. No wetland impacts are proposed.

Appalachia to Market Project, in North Union Township of Fayette County, Salem Township of Westmoreland County, Pike Township of Berks County, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh Corps Districts. The proposed project will involve the following system modifications:
• Bechtelsville crossover: Install full crossover from Texas Eastern Lines 28/27 to Texas Eastern Lines 19/12 at milepost (MP) 218.81 (beginning of Line 28 loop) in Berks County, PA (Coordinates: 40° 24` 50.54", -75° 42` 27.03");
• Uniontown crossover: Install full crossover from Texas Eastern Lines 30/25 to Texas Eastern Lines 10/15 at MP 771.05 (end of Line 30 loop) in Fayette County, PA (Coordinates: 39° 55` 42.75", -79° 44` 01.41"); and

On May 1, 2020, 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 No. CP20-436-000). The FERC Environmental Assessment for the Project, which was issued on September 15, 2020, may be viewed on FERC's website at www.ferc.gov (search eLibrary; Docket Search; CP20-436-000).
On July 1, 2020, Applicant requested a state water quality certification (SWQC) from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), 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.
The Project, as proposed, will provide necessary pipeline infrastructure to enhance and increase the capacity and allow for incremental growth to residential and commercial customers; the project will deliver 18,000 Dth/d of supply to an existing delivery point. The Project, as proposed, will require approximately 18.0 acres of earth disturbance, and impacts to 181 linear feet of UNTs to Beaver Run (HQ-CWF), 0.541 acre of UNTs to Beaver Run (HQ-CWF) floodway, 0.04 acre of UNT to Pine Creek (EV, MF) floodway, 0.01 acre of temporary impacts to Exceptional Value (EV) Palustrine Emergent (PEM) wetlands, 0.27 acre of temporary impacts to Other (O) PEM wetlands, and 0.06 acre of permanent impacts to O PEM wetlands.
PADEP published notice of its proposed SWQC in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on November 21, 2020 (50 Pa.B. 6679) and has received no comments.
PADEP certifies that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project complies with the applicable provisions of sections 301—303, 306 and 307 of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311—1313, 1316 and 1317). The PADEP further certifies that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project complies with Pennsylvania water quality standards and that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project will maintain and protect applicable Commonwealth water quality standards provided that the construction, operation and maintenance of the project complies with the following PADEP water quality permitting programs, criteria and conditions established pursuant to Pennsylvania law:
