Federal Consistency under the Coastal Zone Management Act; Lampe Marina Floating Dock System Replacement
[54 Pa.B. 5915]
[Saturday, September 14, 2024]This notice is published under section 306(d)(14) of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA) (16 U.S.C. § 1455(d)(14)), regarding public participation in consistency determinations. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Coastal Resources Management Program has received notice that the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority (applicant) is proposing to replace an existing floating dock system at Lampe Marina, which is located adjacent to Lake Erie and within the City of Erie in Erie County (Project).
The applicant proposes to replace the existing floating dock system, which has reached the end of its functional lifespan. The applicant will undertake the dock replacement as a maintenance activity necessary for its continued safe operation. The proposed configuration will match the existing dock configuration, with new anchor piles placed in a slightly different configuration than the existing piles. The Project is proposed to occur between November 2024, and March 2025. The applicant also proposes to install a turbidity curtain across the entrance to the Lampe Marina as an erosion/sedimentation control and security measure. The applicant is seeking a new Federal authorization from the United States Army Corps of Engineers under section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C. § 403) and section 404 of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. § 1344) to perform this work.
This Project is subject to Department review for Federal consistency because it is an activity requiring a Federal license or permit and will have reasonably foreseeable effects on this Commonwealth's coastal resources or uses.
In accordance with section 307 of the CZMA (16 U.S.C. § 1456) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) regulations at 15 CFR Part 930, Subpart D (relating to consistency for activities requiring a Federal license or permit), the applicant has certified that the proposed activity will be conducted in a manner consistent with the applicable enforceable policies of the Commonwealth's NOAA-approved Coastal Resources Management Program. Interested parties may request a copy of the Federal Consistency Certification from the Department contact listed as follows.
Questions regarding this review should be directed to Matthew Walderon, Federal Consistency Coordinator, at (717) 772-2196 or by e-mail to RA-Fed_Consistency@ pa.gov.
