FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT SECTION 401
The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has taken the following actions on previously received permit applications, requests for Environmental Assessment approval, and requests for Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341).
Except as otherwise noted, DEP has granted 401 Water Quality Certification certifying that the construction and operation described will comply with the applicable provisions of Sections 301—303, 306 and 307 of the FWPCA (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311—1313, 1316 and 1317), and that the construction will not violate applicable Federal and State Water Quality Standards.
Individuals aggrieved by these actions may appeal, 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, to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P.O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, 717-787-3483. Appeals must be filed with the Environmental Hearing Board within 30-days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in braille or on audiotape from the Secretary to the Board at 717-787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
If you want to challenge this action, your appeal must reach the Board within 30-days. You do not need a lawyer to file an appeal with the Board.

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.

SPECIAL NOTICES
WATER PROGRAMS
Request for Comment for Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the UNT Susquehanna River (Brush Valley Creek) 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 UNT Susquehanna River watershed under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Note that this stream is also referred to locally as ''Brush Valley Creek''. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included stream segments listed as impaired for Aquatic Life Use 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 UNT Susquehanna River 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.
Summary of ''TMDL''—Based Load Reductions (expressed as annual averages) in the
UNT Susquehanna River Watershed |
|---|
| Watershed | Pollutant | Existing Load
(lbs/yr) | ''TMDL''

| UNT Susquehanna River | Sediment | 1,586,060
| 1,446,929
| 9 |
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loading within the watershed, the prescribed ''TMDL'' values, and % reductions needed under 99th percentile daily loading conditions.

The proposed TMDL document can be viewed at: http://www.dep.state.pa.us/dep/deputate/watermgt/wqp/wqstandards/tmdl/UNTSusquehannaRiverSedimentTMDL.pdf
Otherwise, copies of the proposed TMDL document or supporting information may be requested by emailing Michael Morris at michamorri@pa.gov or calling him at 717-772-5670.
Written/typed comments will be accepted at the previously listed email address. While emailed comments are preferable, written comments may also be sent by mail to:
Michael Morris, Water Program Specialist
Bureau of Clean Water
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection
Rachel Carson State Office Building
400 Market Street
Harrisburg, PA 17105
