The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District Mining Office indicated before each application. Where a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for certification.
Written comments or objections, or requests for informal conferences on applications, may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the same address within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa.

Where any of the mining activities listed will have discharges of wastewater to streams, the Department will incorporate NPDES permits into the mining activity permits issued in response to these applications. NPDES permits will contain, at a minimum, technology-based effluent limitations (as described in the Department's regulations--25 Pa. Code §§ 77.522, 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.242, 89.52 and 90.102) for iron, manganese, suspended solids, settleable solids, alkalinity and pH. In addition to the previous, more restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume, or restrictions on the extent of mining which may occur will be incorporated into a mining activity permit, when necessary, for compliance with water quality standards (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 93 and 95). Persons or agencies which have requested review of the NPDES permit requirements for a particular mining activity within the previously-mentioned public comment period will be provided with a 30-day period to review and submit comments on those requirements.
Written comments or objections should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; application number; and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based.

EA65-006SW. Sewickley Creek Watershed Association, P. O. Box 323, Youngwood, PA 15697-0323. Mt. Pleasant Township, Westmoreland County, ACOE Pittsburgh District.
To relocate approximately 800--1,000 linear feet of an unnamed tributary to Sewickley Creek (WWF) to divert surface water around a proposed acid mine drainage (AMD) treatment system. The watercourse currently flows into a large wetland complex (approximately 8.20 acres) that is affected by AMD. The proposed channel relocation will reportedly have direct impacts to 0.11 acre of this wetland, but may have additional secondary impacts to the wetland, due to this proposed diversion of hydrology. Future impacts are also anticipated to the wetland from the construction of the proposed AMD treatment system, but the project sponsor is only currently seeking 401 Water Quality Certification for the proposed channel relocation. The project is located along Sewickley Creek, south of the Village of Brinkerton. (Mt. Pleasant, PA Quadrangle N: 17.2 inches; W: 3.0 inches)
