MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* *The parameter is applicable at all times. A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters the Department may require.
Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 563-2112-115, Developing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for Mining Activities. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30-days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30-days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

The Department's characterization of the Chapter 105 waters and wetlands listed below differs from those of the applicant (refer to items 2, 3, 8, 9, and 10 below). The proposed project is to construct and maintain the following water obstructions and encroachments associated with the Pre-Act Quarry Reclamation project, which will involve grading and filling in and around an existing, abandoned, 75-acres former rock quarry for the purpose of eliminating a public safety hazard and grading the site for future development:
1) To fill and maintain the entirety of a 0.08-acre PEM wetland known as Wetland C (determined to be ''Other'' by the applicant) for the purpose of site grading, resulting in permanent loss of the resource.
2) To fill and maintain the entirety of a 0.44-acre PEM wetland known as Wetland D (Applicant determined to be ''Other'') for the purpose of site grading, resulting in permanent loss of the resource. (Based on its pre-application review and on-site evaluations, the Department considered Wetland D as ''Exceptional Value'').
3) To fill and maintain the entirety of a 1.63-acre PEM wetland known as Wetland F (Applicant determined to be ''Other'') for the purpose of site grading, resulting in permanent loss of the resource. (Based on its pre-application review and on-site evaluations, the Department considered Wetland F as ''Exceptional Value'').
4) To fill and maintain the entirety of a 0.01-acre PEM wetland known as Wetland I (Applicant determined to be ''Other'') for the purpose of site grading, resulting in permanent loss of the resource.
5) To fill and maintain the entirety of a 0.01-acre PEM wetland known as Wetland J (Applicant determined to be ''Other'') for the purpose of site grading, resulting in permanent loss of the resource.
6) To fill and maintain the entirety of a 0.32-acre open body of water (HQ-CWF, MF) for the purpose of site grading, resulting in permanent loss of the resource.
7) To fill and maintain the entirety of a 500 LF segment of a UNT to Nancy Run (HQ-CWF, MF) for the purpose of site grading, resulting in permanent loss of the resource. This activity will result in a permanent stream loss of 500 LF for a total of 0.17-acre of impacts to the watercourse. This impact also results in a permanent floodway fill of 1.15-acres.
8) To fill and maintain the entirety of a 0.13-acre open body of water (HQ-CWF, MF) for the purpose of site grading, resulting in permanent loss of the resource. (The applicant did not identify this as a regulated resource in their application).
9) To fill and maintain the entirety of a 246 LF segment of a UNT to Nancy Run (HQ-CWF, MF) for the purpose of site grading, resulting in permanent loss of the resource. This activity will result in a permanent stream loss of 246 LF for a total of 0.07-acre of impacts to the watercourse. This impact also results in a permanent floodway fill of 0.56-acre. (The applicant did not identify this as a regulated resource in their application).
10) To place fill above and eliminate in its entirety an existing, 480 LF enclosed segment of a UNT to Nancy Run (HQ-CWF, MF) for the purpose of site grading, resulting in permanent loss of the resource. This activity will result in 480 LF of permanent stream loss for a total of 0.02-acre of impacts to the watercourse. (The applicant did not identify this as a regulated resource in their application).
