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. TDD users may contact the Board through the Pennsylvania 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 to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create a right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, the appeal 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 pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

City of Erie, Erie CountyPursuant to Section 1113 of the Pennsylvania Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act, Act of October 18, 1988, P. L. 756, No. 108, 35 P. S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305 (HSCA), notice is hereby provided that the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has entered into a Consent Order and Agreement (CO&A) with the Greater Erie Industrial Development Corporation (''GEIDC'') concerning their anticipated ownership and participation in the remediation, pursuant to the Land Recycling Act of a portion of the RSR/Jones Chemical Site (''Site'').
In the past, hazardous substances were released at the Site and these substances contaminated the environment at the Site. The Department has investigated releases of hazardous substances disposed at the Site and determined further Response Actions are necessary. Under the terms of the CO&A, GEIDC will complete the construction of an asphalt cap over a former sludge disposal area that will serve as a parking area.
The specific terms of this settlement are set forth in the CO&A between the Department and GEIDC. The Department will receive and consider comments relating to the CO&A for sixty (60) days from the date of this Public Notice. The Department has the right to withdraw its consent to the CO&A if the comments concerning the CO&A disclose facts or considerations which indicate that the CO&A is inappropriate, improper, or not in the public interest. After the public comment period, the Department's settlement with GEIDC shall be effective upon the date that the Department notifies GEIDC, in writing, that this Consent Order and Agreement is final and effective in its present form, and that the Department has filed a response to significant written comments to the CO&A, or that no such comments were received.
Copies of the CO&A are available for inspection at the Department's Northwest Regional Office. Comments may be submitted, in writing, to Gary Mechtly, Department of Environmental Protection, Hazardous Sites Cleanup, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, Pa 16335. Further information may be obtained by contacting Gary Mechtly, at 814.332.6648. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania Relay Services at 800-645-5984.
Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed
for Sediment-impaired Dalmatia Creek Watershed
in Northumberland CountyThe Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the sediment-impaired Dalmatia Creek Watershed in Northumberland County, PA. These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report listed Dalmatia Creek in 2002 for impairments caused by excessive siltation from crop related, agricultural activities and associated vegetative removal. There currently are no state or federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment within the Dalmatia Creek Watershed. The sediment loading was allocated among the land uses of cropland, hay/pasture land, transitional land, and associated stream bank present in the watershed. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loadings for the watershed. Overall load reductions necessary in order to meet the TMDLs are also identified.

The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department. The proposed TMDLs and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's website (www.dep.state.pa.us/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/). To request a copy of any of the proposed TMDLs contact Scott Alexander, Water Program Specialist, Bureau of Point and Non-Point Source Management, Central Office, Department of Environmental Protection, Rachel Carson State Office Building, Harrisburg, PA 17105, 717-772-5670, salexander@pa.gov
The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDLs, which will be submitted to EPA for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked by 30 days after publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for Sediment-impaired Streams of the Spicer Brook Watershed in Bedford County The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the sediment-impaired Spicer Brook Watershed in Bedford County, PA. These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included impaired stream segments in this watershed. The listings of these waterbodies were due to use impairments caused by excessive siltation. There currently are no state or federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment within the sediment-impaired Spicer Brook Watershed. The sediment loading was allocated among the land uses of cropland, hay/pasture land, and associated stream banks present in the watershed. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.

Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked by 45 days after publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. A public meeting to discuss the technical merits of the TMDLs will be held upon request.
