Regional Office: Regional Manager, Water Management Program, Northwest Region, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.
Certification Request Initiated by: Erie Western Pennsylvania Port Authority, Raymond P. Schreckengost, Executive Director, 17 West Dobbins Landing, Erie, PA 16507-1424.
Date of Initial Pennsylvania Bulletin Notice: April 13, 2002.
Project Description: The Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has requested a State certification under section 401(a) of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341(a)) that the dredging of approximately 4,300 cubic yards of basin sediments from the Coal Ore Dock Slip on the City of Erie Bayfront (Erie North, PA N: 2.7 inches; W: 11.3 inches) (42d 08m 23s N; 80d 05m 00s W) and discharging these sediments into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (Erie North, PA N: 4.7 inches; W: 10.3 inches) (42d 09m 04s N; 80d 04m 34s W) will comply with the applicable provisions of sections 301--307 of Federal Clean Water Act.
The Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has analyzed the sediments in situ using the Standard Elutriate Test, adapted from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's Inland Testing Manual and the document ''Ecological Evaluation of Proposed Discharge of Dredged or Fill Material in Navigable Waters'' so that the sediments may be discharged to the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility.
Based upon the modified sampling and laboratory testing, the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority indicates that the approximately 4,300 cubic yards of basin sediments dredged from the Coal Ore Dock Slip on the City of Erie Bayfront (Erie North, PA N: 2.7 inches; W: 11.3 inches) (42d 08m 23s N; 80d 05m 00s W) and then discharged into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (Erie North, PA N: 4.7 inches; W: 10.3 inches) (42d 09m 04s N; 80d 04m 34s W) will have a relatively insignificant impact on the water quality of Lake Erie. This 401 Water Quality Certification is only for this single discharge. Any subsequent dredging of permitted Port Authority facilities and use of the CDF will require separate 401 Water Quality Certification.
Location: Coal Ore Dock Slip on the City of Erie Bayfront (Erie North, PA N: 2.7 inches; W: 11.3 inches) (42d 08m 23s N; 80d 05m 00s W) and the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (Erie North, PA N: 4.7 inches; W: 10.3 inches) (42d 09m 04s N; 80d 04m 34s W).
Final Action on Request: Certification granted. This is a one-time certification for the previously described project.
[Pa.B. Doc. No. 02-960. Filed for public inspection May 31, 2002, 9:00 a.m.]
