WATER ACTThis notice provides information about persons who have applied to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for a new, renewed, or amended NPDES or WQM permit, or a permit waiver for certain stormwater discharges, or have submitted a Notice of Intent (NOI) for coverage under a General Permit. The applications and NOIs concern, but are not limited to, effluent discharges from sewage treatment facilities and industrial facilities to surface waters or groundwater; stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity (industrial stormwater), construction activity (construction stormwater), and municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s); the application of pesticides; the operation of Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs); and the construction of sewage, industrial waste, and manure storage, collection and treatment facilities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing The Clean Streams Law (35 P.S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376). More information on the types of NPDES and WQM permits that are available can be found on DEP's website (visit www.dep.pa.gov and select Businesses, Water, Bureau of Clean Water, Wastewater Management, and NPDES and WQM Permitting Programs).

Project Site Name: Goodwin Tombaugh Phase 2 Areas 18-19
Total Earth Disturbance Area (acres): 9.7 acres
Surface Waters Receiving Stormwater Discharges: Center Branch Pigeon Creek (WWF), Mingo Creek (HQ-TSF), South Branch Pigeon Creek
Proposed Effluent Limitations: The draft permit requires implementation of an Erosion and Sediment Control (E&S) Plan and a Post-Construction Stormwater Management (PCSM) Plan and compliance with Federal technology-based effluent standards at 40 CFR Part 450.
Rate or Frequency of Discharge: Stormwater discharges during and following earth disturbance activities are precipitation-induced and will vary depending on factors such as the area of impervious surfaces, the size and placement of best management practices (BMPs) and the intensity of precipitation.
Project Description: The project consists of the installation of three miles of new 12-inch plastic gas pipeline in North Bethlehem, Nottingham, and Somerset Townships, Washington County, PA. PNG intends to complete a portion of the Project using Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) to reduce earth disturbance and limit environmental impacts. The remainder of the Project will be installed via trenching methods. Use of the existing pipeline will be abandoned. The pipeline will remain in place except for sections of exposed pipeline within streams and wetlands, which will be removed. Additionally, the abandoned pipeline will either be removed or capped at all stream and wetland crossings in accordance with PA DEP requirements. In-lieu of grouting the abandoned line at resource crossings, PNG shall maintain liability of the abandoned line. If there are any environmental concerns or any issues identified due to the abandoned pipe, PNG will be responsible to correct the issue. The Project will be restored to pre-construction conditions and no new permanent impervious areas are proposed.
