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.

This action was submitted as an amendment to permit E65-07-013 in which a 286-foot by 418 foot well pad extension and tank pad reclamation for oil and gas activity at the existing Basista—Dermotta Well Pad B (40.269439, -79.780153) was approved. The well pad expansion area and tank pad reclamation would have resulted in the impacts to wetlands found on the site. Three (3) Palustrine Emergent (PEM) wetlands, totaling 0.28 acre, were to be filled due to the reclamation of the existing tank pad. Wetland mitigation is required for this project. Onsite mitigation was originally consisted of approximately 0.3 acre of PEM wetland. Since the issuance of the original permit, additional wetlands have been found onsite. The proposed restoration project will now require the permanent fill of five (5) PEM wetlands for a total of 0.43 acre. Mitigation is no longer being proposed on site and will utilized a wetland mitigation bank.
The project is located within the McKeesport USGS 7 1/2 Minute Quadrangle Map.

REQUEST FOR COMMENT
Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the Indian Run Watershed in Lancaster 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 Indian 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 crop production.
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 Indian 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 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.

CONTROL ACT, SECTION 401Regional Permit Coordination Office: 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101, Email: RA-EPREGIONALPERMIT@pa.gov.
The Department 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).
Any person aggrieved by this action may challenge it in an appropriate legal forum. The state and Federal courts are currently split on whether the proper forum to challenge a Department permit, authorization or approval for a facility or activity subject to the Federal Natural Gas Act, 15 U.S.C.A. §§ 717 et seq., is the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit or the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board. See Delaware Riverkeeper Network v. Sec'y, Dep't of Envtl. Prot., 833 F.3d 360 (3d Cir. 2016); Delaware Riverkeeper Network v.
