Code 25 §§ 127.44—127.46, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is providing notice that on April 18, 2022, DEP issued a Plan Approval to Pennsylvania Department of Corrections to increase the maximum sum of the hours of operation of two existing, 2,233-bhp, LFG-fired, SI, reciprocating generator engines (Source IDs 110 and 111) from 8,400 to 13,800, at a boiler house at a prison, known as the SCI-Laurel Highlands, located in Somerset Township, Somerset County. An existing 44.4 MMBtu/hr heat input, LFG-fired turbine generator engine (Source ID 109) at the facility, was permanently removed from service at the same time. This Plan Approval will become inactive later on its day of issue when TVOP-56-00257 is renewed, with the ongoing requirements of PA-56-00257C incorporated.
The facility is a landfill gas (LFG) and natural gas-fired, electrical power and steam generating plant. LFG is pumped to the boiler house from an off-site, commercial landfill. The main sources at this facility are two (2), 2,233-bhp, SI, Caterpillar, LFG-fueled, generator engines and one (1), 20.3 MMBtu/hr, dual-fuel (LFG & NG) boiler.
The LFG-fired engines are subject to 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart A—General Provisions, 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart JJJJ—Standards of Performance for Stationary Spark Ignition Internal Combustion Engines, and Pa. Code, Title 25, Chapters 121—145. No equipment changes are being approved by this action. The permit includes emission limitations and operational, monitoring, testing, recordkeeping, workpractice, and reporting requirements for the facility. The emission restriction, testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting and work practice conditions of the Plan Approval have been derived from the applicable requirements of 40 CFR Parts 60 and 70 and 25 Pa. Code Article III, Chapters 121—145.

IP21-001113: Tony DePaul and Sons (TDPS) Materials, 3870 N 2nd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19140, on April 13, 2022, was issued a Plan Approval for the replacement of the baghouse that controls particulate emissions from an existing hot mix asphalt drum plant at an asphalt and concrete production facility, in the City of Philadelphia, Philadelphia County. The control device that is part of the Plan Approval is a replacement baghouse for the existing hot mix asphalt drum plant with rated capacity 66,500 ACFM to control particulate matter emission, and the new baghouse will replace the existing baghouse at the facility. The potential Particulate Matter-10 (PM-10) emission from the existing hot mix asphalt drum plant controlled by the replacement baghouse is 9.32 tons per year. There is no change in either the potential PM-10 emissions or an hourly Particulate Matter (PM) emission limit for the existing hot mix asphalt drum plant due to the replacement of the existing baghouse with the new baghouse. The plan approval will contain operating, monitoring, and recordkeeping requirements to ensure operation within all applicable requirements.

This Joint Permit Application is being submitted for various activities associated with the B15 Well Connect Pipeline. These impacts include repairs to slope movements partially located within wetlands at Stations 3+00 and 149+00 and authorization of five (5) after-the-fact aquatic resource crossings that were not identified during the original permitting.
The permanent impacts associated with slope repairs are (0.068 acre total). Compensatory mitigation is accomplished by purchasing 0.08 credits from the Robinson Fork Phase I Mitigation Bank. This application also includes after-the-fact permanent impacts to streams and wetlands associated with aquatic resource crossings that were not identified within the original Chapter 105 permitting of this project. The permanent impacts to wetlands associated with the pipeline construction are a result of the conversion of Palustrine Scrub Shrub (PSS) and Palustrine Forested (PFO) wetlands to Palustrine Emergent (PEM) Wetlands due to the clearing of vegetation along the Right of Way. No loss of wetland acreage was documented. The conversion of PSS wetlands will be mitigated at a 2:1 ratio, while the conversion of PFO wetlands will be mitigated at a 3:1 ratio. The mitigation is being proposed at Reserved Environmental Solution's (RES) Neshannock Creek Restoration Site (NCRS).

REQUEST FOR COMMENT
Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the Little Buffalo Creek Watershed in Union County.
Central Office: Bureau of Clean Water, P.O. Box 8774, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8774.
The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed ''TMDLs'' developed for the Little Buffalo Creek under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included stream segments listed as impaired for aquatic life in the watershed. The impairments addressed by this document were caused by excessive siltation due to agriculture.
There currently are no state or Federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for sediment. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. The proposed TMDL document sets allowable loading of sediment in the Little Buffalo Creek Watershed. The ''TMDLs'' included allocations for nonpoint sources; allocations for point sources, including a wastewater treatment plant; reserves for future point sources; and margin of safety factors. Nonpoint source load allocations were made for cropland, hay/pasture land and streambank source sectors present in the watershed. Data used in establishing the TMDL 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 loadings within the watershed, the prescribed ''TMDL'' values, and % reductions needed under annual average conditions.
