MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a 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 (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.
Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).
The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:
30-Day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 Alkalinity greater than acidity* *The parameter is applicable at all times.
In addition, the Department imposes a technology-based aluminum limit of 2.0 mg/l (30 day average) to protect stream uses.
A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.
Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities
The BAT limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 40 CFR Part 436 and 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are as follows:
30-day Daily Instantaneous Parameter Average Maximum Maximum Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l Alkalinity exceeding acidity* pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0 * The parameter is applicable at all times.
Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.
In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation—Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation, and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.
Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.
Coal NPDES Draft Permits
California District Office: 25 Technology Drive, Coal Center, PA 15423, 724-769-1100
NPDES Permit No. PA0033677 (Mining Permit No. 56841328), Rosebud Mining Company, (301 Market Street, Kittanning, PA 16201). A revision to the NPDES and mining activity permit for Mine 78 in Adams Township, Cambria County to add NPDES discharge point 005 to discharge treated mine water from the St. Michael Treatment Plant. Surface Acres Affected 4.8, Receiving stream: Unnamed Tributary to South Fork Little Conemaugh River, classified for the following use: CWF. Kiskiminetas-Conemaugh River Watershed TMDL. The application was considered administratively complete on December 29, 2011. Application received September 29, 2011. This notice was initially published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on June 16, 2012. It is being re-published to include an excerpt from PART B, Section 6, Special Conditions, of the NPDES draft permit.
Unless otherwise noted for a specific outfall, the proposed effluent limits for all outfalls in this permit are the BAT limits described above for coal mining activities.
The proposed average daily discharge rate for Outfall 005 is 4.32 MGD with a daily maximum of 14.4 MGD Outfall 005 discharges to: Unnamed Tributary to South Fork Little Conemaugh River (Topper Run) The proposed effluent limits for Outfall 005 Lat: 40° 19` 52" Long: 78° 46` 11" are:

Additionally, Part B, Section 6, Special Conditions, items (b) 1—3 of the NPDES draft permit contains the following language regarding Pollution Reduction/Offsets:
(b) Pollution Reduction/Offsets
1. Offset. For the purpose of this permit ''offset'' means the load in pounds created by an action, activity or technology that is available to apply against the proposed load to be generated by the discharge from the St. Michael Treatment Plant at Outfall 005. This permit assigns effluent limitations for the treated discharge from the St. Michael Treatment Plant to Topper Run at Outfall 005 for the parameters Fe, Mn, Al, pH and TSS which are to be met by achieving the Best Available Technology (BAT) effluent limitations in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code § 89.52 (rather than the concentration limits in Part A of this permit) and offsetting the BAT loading for the above parameters through treatment or abatement of pre-existing abandoned mine discharges. These offsets are based on the significant reduction in pollution loading of Fe, Mn and Al that will result from: (i) the plant's treatment of an existing abandoned mine drainage (AMD) discharge as part of the mining operation (the St. Michaels Shaft and Borehole discharges); (ii) the abatement of other AMD discharges in the surrounding area which will result from pumping the mine pool and operating the treatment plant (the St. Michael's Refuse Seeps, St. Michael's Stream Bank Seeps and Burkett slope/Stineman No. 1 discharge); and (iii) the reduction in pollution loadings from a projected reduction in flow of a nearby AMD discharge resulting from pumping the mine pool and operating the treatment plant (Sulfur Creek Borehole discharge). In the event that the pollution loads from other abandoned mine discharges or other offset sources in the watershed are reduced by the activity of the permittee, or unused waste load allocations assigned by the Kiski-Conemaugh River Watershed TMDL are available, the permittee may seek to include properly documented reductions of such other discharges or unused waste load allocations as part of the offset evaluation to meet the effluent limits in this permit.
The reductions in pollution loading in the Kiski-Conemaugh River watershed that will result from operation of the treatment plant will achieve and exceed the load reduction targets in the Kiski-Conemaugh River Watersheds TMDL for certain of the AMD discharge sources identified above.
For the purposes of this permit the monthly load is the sum of the measured daily discharge loads (lbs/day) for iron manganese and aluminum, divided by the number of samples per month, multiplied by the number of days in the month. The monthly load must be based upon at least two water quality samples. The daily load (lbs/day) equals the average daily flow (MGD) multiplied by that day's sample concentration, multiplied by 8.34. The annual load is the sum of monthly loads for each year, beginning July 1 and ending June 30. The period from July 1 through June 30 is the compliance year for this permit.
2. Implementation Period for Pollution Reductions.
The Net Pollution Loading achieved by the St. Michael Treatment Plant, as measured at Outfall 005 over the course of the annual compliance year for this permit, established above in paragraph 6(b)(1), must be less than or equal to the waste load allocations for iron, manganese and aluminum, respectively, which are allocated to the treatment plant by the Kiski-Conemaugh Watershed TMDL.
3. Monitoring and Reporting of Pollution Reduction/Offset.
The permittee shall monitor and report to the Department, on a quarterly basis, commencing with the issuance of this permit, the monthly load discharged from the St. Michael Treatment Plant, and the actual reduction in pollution loading for Fe, Mn, and Al achieved by the St. Michael Treatment Plant for each of the AMD discharges identified in paragraph (b)(1) and in the table below, as well as the total overall pollution load reduction achieved by the treatment plant in the Kiski-Conemaugh River Watershed. The pollution loads stated in paragraph 4 below for each of the identified nonpoint AMD discharge sources shall serve as the baseline against which to measure the reductions achieved by the pumping of the mine pool and the operation of the treatment plant.
The water quality and flow data and load calculations shall be submitted to the Department, along with the Discharge Monitoring Reports, on a quarterly basis. Quarterly reports shall include the monthly load calculations for the offsets and outfall 005. The report shall contain a calculation of the offset and a demonstration that the Net Pollution Loading achieved by the St. Michael Treatment Plant, as measured at Outfall 005 over the course of the applicable compliance year, is less than or equal to the waste load allocations for iron, manganese and aluminum, respectively, which are allocated to the treatment plant by the Kiski-Conemaugh Watershed TMDL. The annual accounting for each compliance year shall report the annual pollution reduction. The Existing Pollution Load (Offset) is equal to the current pollution load from all the abandoned mine discharges identified in Paragraph 5 and other discharges credited to the permittee. In equation form, this concept is expressed as:
Net Pollution Loading = St Michael Treatment Plant Load @ BAT - Existing Pollution Load (Offset)
= [Flow B (MGD)*Concentration B (mg/l)*8.34] - [Flow (MGD)*Concen- tration A (mg/l)*8.34]
Where: ''A'' represents flows and concentrations of the abandoned discharges
''B'' represents flow and concentration of the St Michael Treatment Plant dischargeTherefore, the Net Pollution Loading shall be less than or equal to the following TMDL waste load allocations:
Iron—19,726 lb / year
Manganese—13,151 lb / year
Aluminum—6,312 lb / year
