Except as otherwise noted, the Department has granted 401 Water Quality Certification certifying that the construction and operation described will comply with sections 301—303, 306 and 307 of the FWPCA (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311—1313, 1316 and 1317) and that the construction will not violate applicable Federal and State water quality standards.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704. The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, PO Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483.

To perform the following water obstruction and encroachment activities associated with abandoned mine discharge treatment.
This project will consist of the maintenance repair of a channel that was listed as an AML feature #03 and reclaimed as part of a larger OSM project in 2004. Several heavy rain events flooded through the channel and reshaped the channel by cutting through the flood plain. The work will be performed in the channel and partly along the flood plain that was formed as part of the prior reclamation effort. The previous OSM project reshaped the stream into a natural meandering layout with a flood plain on both sides. There are no openings or possible bat habitats affected by the reconstruction work which is inside the original project limits.
The project will cover about 2 acres including the channel and floodplain repair. The channel will be lined with riprap and the floodplain will be graded and seeded for use in time of flooding.
