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.
For further information concerning plans or reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department Regional Office under which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate Regional Office.

To demo, construct and maintain, existing 24-inch-diameter Leidy A and Leidy B natural gas pipelines. The purpose of the project is to rebury these two existing natural gas pipeliens to increase depth of cover and to install grade control structures in the stream channel. Depth of cover has been lost due to erosive forces of Loyalsock Creek and its side channel such that portions of pipelines have become exposed within the stream. An existing J-hook boulder structure located in the main channel will be removed because it currently presents an obstacle to boaters. The project is located in Loyalsock Creek (latitude 41° 16` 50" N, longitude 76° 54` 56" W) and its side channel (latitude 41° 16` 50" N, longitude 76° 55` 4" W) in Fairfield and Loyalsock Townships, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania.
Total temporary impacts in the Watercourse is 26.58 acres and 17.46 acres in the Floodway. Permanent impact in the Watercourse is 1,064 sq. ft. and 2,210 sq. ft of impact in the Floodway. Loyalsock Creek is a Exceptional Value Fishery.

Provisions of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 245, Subchapter D, Administration of the Storage Tank and Spill Prevention Program, require the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A remedial action plan is submitted to summarize the site characterization, document the design and construction details for the remedial action, and describe how the remedial action will attain the selected remediation standard. The remedial action plan also provides results of studies performed and data collected to support the remedial action and a description of postremediation care requirements. A remedial action completion report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to the selected remediation standard. A remedial action completion report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of 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 methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected.
For further information concerning plans or reports, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the DEP Regional Office under which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears.

WQ3483220-001, Texas Eastern Transmission, LP, 890 Winter Street, Suite 320, Waltham, MA 02451. Perulack Compressor Units Replacement Project (Project), in Lack Township, Juniata County, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District. The proposed project is located at Perulack Compressor Station situated off Pumping Station Road (Latitude: 40.35583°; Longitude: -77.65389°).
On January 15, 2021, 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. CP21-31-000). The FERC Environmental Assessment for the Project, which was issued on June 4, 2021, may be viewed on FERC's web site at www.ferc.gov (search eLibrary; Docket Search; CP21-31-000).
On November 16, 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, includes replacement of four existing compressor units and related facilities with two new gas turbine units and associated facilities to comply with future air emission reduction requirements. The Project also includes the construction of a new compressor building to house the two new compressor units. The existing compressor units are in two separate compressor buildings, one of which will be removed from service but remain in place and the other will be removed. Additional facilities to be updated or installed include a generator building, an electrical control building with battery extension, a service entrance building, and an auxiliary building, as well as the installation of four filter separators. In addition, the project will result in the installation of a new, lined stormwater retention basin. The Project, as proposed, will require approximately 30.39 acres of earth disturbance and impacts to 1.48 acres of floodway.
PADEP published notice of its proposed SWQC in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on February 13, 2021 (51 Pa.B. 788). PADEP 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:
