Project proposes to remove the Painters Crossing Dam and approximately 2,727 cubic yards of legacy sediment from a 1.12-acre floodplain area involving unnamed tributaries to Harvey Run to restore natural aquatic ecosystems. A 0.15-acre impoundment will be eliminated to restore the stream channel and a wetland. This will re-establish 0.83 acre of wetlands within the restored floodplain, realign approximately 1,073 lineal feet of unnamed tributaries to Harvey Run to restore 1,100 LF of channel (total 3,373 LF including all anastomosed) within the restored floodplain. Plans also propose to install log sills, root wads, woody debris habitat structures, and wood grade control structures in the restored channels and floodplain, lower the floodplain elevation to effectively transition the floodplain into the existing upland grade, fill and grade the 0.15 acre pond to elevate the grade to reconnect the stream to the floodplain. These measures will address the existing lateral stream bank erosion and incising stream bed which provides a sediment source to the Harvey Run watershed. The proposal includes a General Permit Registration for use of two GP-11's to replace a culvert and a pedestrian bridge. The project is located across tributaries to Harvey Run (WWF, MF) (West Chester, Wilmington North, PA Quadrangles, Latitude: 39.8754; Longitude: -75.5560).
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL The following Erosion and Sediment Control permits have been issued.

PREAMBLE 2
The Following Plans and Reports Were Submitted Under the Storage Tank and Spill Prevention Act (35 P.S. §§ 6021.101—6021.2104).
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.

REQUEST FOR COMMENT
Proposed Alternative Restoration Plan for the Hammer Creek Headwaters Subwatershed in Lebanon County.
Central Office: Bureau of Clean Water, P.O. Box 8774, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8774.
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will accept comments on the proposed Alternative Restoration Plan (ARP) developed for the Hammer Creek Headwaters Watershed in Lebanon County. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included stream segments impaired for aquatic life in the watershed. The impairments addressed by this document were caused by excessive siltation due to agriculture. There is a large amount of public interest in restoring this watershed due to its potential as a wild trout fishery, as well as to prevent excessive sedimentation within a downstream lake (Speedwell Forge).
The ARP approach was chosen as a temporary alternative to the development of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL). An ARP is currently a better option for this watershed because it not only sets a pollution reduction goal, but it also lays out a comprehensive plan for restoration. DEP plans on partnering with the Doc Fritchey of Trout Unlimited as primary stakeholders to implement the plan. Funding will be sought under Section 319 of the Clean Water Act among other sources. If the restoration plan fails to result in delisting of the siltation impairments, a TMDL per section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act would be needed in the future.
Currently, there are no State or Federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for sediment. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to propose an allowable load per the narrative criteria. The allowable load included allocations for natural sources, nonpoint pollution sources, as well as an uncertainty factor. Nonpoint source load allocations were made for cropland, hay/pasture land, and streambank source sectors present in the watershed. Data used in establishing the allowable load were primarily generated using a water quality analysis model (Model My Watershed) made available through the Stroud Water Research Center.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loading within the watershed, the prescribed allowable load value, and % reductions needed under annual average conditions.

51 An analysis of Best Management Practice (BMP) opportunities indicated that sediment loading in the watershed could be reduced far beyond the reduction goals. Key BMPs included agricultural erosion and sedimentation plan implementation, use of precision grass filter strips along drainageways, streambank stabilization/restoration, the use of conservation tillage and the use of riparian buffers.The proposed ARP document can be viewed at http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/watermgt/wqp/wqstandards/tmdl/HammerCreekARP.pdf.
Otherwise, copies of the proposed ARP document or supporting information may be requested by emailing Michael Morris at michamorri@pa.gov.
Written/typed comments will be accepted at the previously listed email address. Comment submissions must be submitted within 30 days after publication of this notice in the February 20, 2021 issue of the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The Department will consider all written/typed comments submitted within the deadline prior to submitting the final ARP to EPA for acceptance. To ensure timely receipt of comments given the office closure and work from home order, please do not mail hard copies of comments. Rather please submit them by email at michamorri@pa.gov. If comments cannot be emailed, please call Michael Morris at 717.772.5670 to request another method of comment submission.
