Red Rambler Run Stream Restoration Project

   Philadelphia Water Department proposes to perform stream restoration along four separated segment reaches along the Red Rambler Run (TSF-MF) with total stream length coverage of approximately 2,550 linear feet. The works focus on the restructuring stream alignment appurtenant structures while restoring scoured eroded segments along the affected portions of Red Rambler Run. Generic Water obstruction and encroachment impacts associated with this project are:

   1.  To stabilized into natural channel design a stone sill located at station 25+35 among other works located between Segments at Stations 27+70 to 25+40 within the stream and portions of the floodway.

   2.  To relocate a 40 foot length of swale with a pipe and to meander the stream away from the new pipe location to accommodate the construction spacing for the pipe and pipe outfall structures around Station 19+25 within the floodway work.

   3.  To relocate three existing manhole and associated auxiliary sewer works in the stream, and to modify sewer crossings between Stations 18+25 to Station 20+25 to accommodate stream natural design in the area.

   4.  To stabilized a segment of stream bank using a stone wall between Station 15+00 and Station 16+00 in the Floodway.

   5.  To use natural channel design to meander the stream away from old standing poles and guy wires and to also remove existing poles and guy wires away for the main stream in the new design where feasible around Station 8+50.

   6.  To raise an existing rock wall one foot high at station 2+00 to 2+75 along the stream banks and to conduct multiple stream bank restorations and in-stream meandering using both natural channel design and structural methods between Station 3+00 to Station 0+00.

   The project site is a located along four separate segments of the stream commencing upstream from approximately 81 feet south of the curb on Verree Road running along the downstream length of the stream and ends at approximately 20 feet from Walley Street at the culvert inlet under Walley Street, in Philadelphia City, Philadelphia County (Frankford, PA-NJ Quadrangle N: 17.50 inches; W: 6.41 inches (center of design reach of stream)).

This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92 and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act.

Section III WQM Industrial, sewage or animal wastes; discharges to groundwater
Section IV NPDES MS4 individual permit
Section V NPDES MS4 permit waiver

   Sections I--VI contain actions related to industrial, animal or sewage wastes discharges, discharges to groundwater and discharges associated with municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4), stormwater associated with construction activities and concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Section VII contains notices for parties who have submitted NOIs for coverage under general NPDES permits. The approval for coverage under general NPDES permits is subject to applicable effluent limitations, monitoring, reporting requirements and other conditions set forth in each general permit. The approval of coverage for land application of sewage sludge or residential septage under applicable general permit is subject to pollutant limitations, pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements, operational standards, general requirements, management practices and other conditions set forth in the respective permit. Permits and related documents, effluent limitations, permitting requirements and other information are on file and may be inspected and arrangements made for copying at the contact office noted before the action.

   Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), 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. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.

   For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.

   Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.
