REQUEST FOR COMMENT
Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the Dry Run Watershed in Northumberland County.
Central Office: Clean Water Program, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101.
Contact: Michael Morris; 717-772-5670.
The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed ''TMDLs'' developed for the Dry Run watershed 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 Dry Run watershed. The ''TMDLs'' included allocations for nonpoint sources, reserves for future point sources, as well as 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 TMDLs 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.

OIL AND GAS MANAGEMENT
Notice of Projects under 58 Pa.C.S. § 3220(e).
Southwest Region: Oil and Gas Management Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745, 412-442-4000.
Contact: D. J. Stevenson, 412-442-4281.
The Oil and Gas Act (58 Pa.C.S. 2301—3504) provides, inter alia, standards and procedures governing the plugging of oil and gas wells. Section 3220(e) of the Oil and Gas Act allows the Department of Environmental Protection to enter upon the site of an abandoned or orphaned well in order to plug the well.
More information on the following project is available for inspection upon request.
Project Proposals
The Department of Environmental Protection is planning to plug four abandoned conventional gas wells (API Nos. 003-009600, 003-00962, 003-00963, 003-00964). The four gas wells sit upon one of the following three parcels of land located along Scrubgrass Road in Scott Township, Allegheny County: Parcel ID No. 0143-C-00200-0000-00, Parcel ID. No. 0143-C-00100-0000-00, and a third neighboring parcel that has not been assigned a Parcel ID No. and that sits directly between Scrubgrass Road and Parcel 143-C-100-0000-00. The four abandoned gas wells are emitting methane vapor into the soil and atmosphere. Through well plugging, the Department will prevent additional methane from leaving the wells and entering the atmosphere and soil.
The Department's plugging project will proceed in several phases. First, the Department will identify utilities that traverse or are proximate to the well sites, and, after doing so, take precautionary measures to ensure that the project will not have a negative effect on any existing utilities. Then, site preparation will begin, which involves building temporary accesses to the sites, removing brush that would obstruct the project, and grading the sites if necessary. The next step involves mobilizing the necessary construction equipment to the site, while utilizing adequate and required traffic controls. After all necessary equipment is on site, the plugging operations will commence. The Department estimates that it will take between two and eight weeks to plug each of the wells. The Department will complete the project through an experienced contractor.
The plugging is pursuant to two orders issued to Michael Harju and Economy Natural Gas, Inc. on April 6, 2023 (''Orders''). The parties subject to the Orders did not comply with the Orders, and, as a result, the Department is entering the previously listed parcels pursuant to its statutorily authorized police powers, previously identified, in order to plug the unlawful wells. The Department was unable to locate the owners of the surface parcels previously identified and is providing this notification of the Department's actions as set forth in the Orders, pursuant to 25 Pa. Code § 1021.38 and will be posting on the previously-referenced parcels notifications of the Department's intent to enter upon those parcels in order to plug the previously-referenced wells.
Surface parcel owners aggrieved by this action may appeal the action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board), pursuant to Section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act, 35 P.S. § 7514, and the Administrative Agency Law, 2 Pa.C.S. Chapter 5A. The Board's address is:
