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.

Revised
To perform the following water obstruction and encroachment activities within/along the Schuylkill River (CWF-MF) associated with the Schuylkill River Park Trial Phase IIIB project:
1) To construct and maintain approximately 2000 feet long extension of the Schuylkill River Park Trail in the form of a suspended bridge over the stream approximately 50 feet from the river banks, running parallel with the river from Walnut street cul-de-sac to approximately 210 feet southwest of the South Street Bridge. This work includes the associated ramps.
2) To temporarily install and maintain a concrete mixing plant within the floodway associated with the vehicular access and load restrictions in the project area.
3) To construct and maintain Streambank stabilization and trail extension on land of approximately 1,400-foot long, 12`-wide shared use trail. Two permeable paver areas adjacent to existing concrete bulkheads are proposed for river overlook areas, with a third, smaller permeable paver area located near the base of the South Street Bridge., all attached to the new trail extension.
4) To construct and maintain a 60-foot long retaining wall along a 100 linear feet segment of wash-out areas near the South Street Bridge. The retaining wall will be landside of the Annual High Tide line. This construction will result in 0.01 acre of permanent impacts that will be mitigated through the use of rock rip-rap to create a stabilized shore and live stake plantings. (Restoration Area 1)
5) To construct and maintain approximately 130 linear feet of rip-rap stream bank stabilization and live stake plantings along Restoration Area 2. There will be 0.03 acre of permanent impacts that will be mitigated through the use of rock rip-rap to create a stabilized shore and live stake plantings.
6) To construct and maintain along Restoration Area 3 wash-out area approximately 120 linear feet Streambank restoration. This component of the project will permanently impact approximately 0.03 acre of floodway that will be mitigated through the use of rock rip-rap to create a stabilized shore and live stake plantings.
7) The temporarily impact the stream where erosion and sedimentation controls will be installed and where the banks will be re-graded to facilitate the Streambank stabilization. The permanent impact will occur where the rock rip-rap is being placed to armor the re-graded shoreline. Live staked planting will be installed along the embankments down to the Annual High Tide line. Since these are tidal areas, river sediments will fill the voids in the rip-rap areas over time.
The project site is located along the Schuylkill River commencing at the Walnut street Cul-de-sac running southwesterly parallel to the stream and ends at approximately 210 feet southwest of the South Street Bridge in the City and County of Philadelphia. A landside component of the project which constitutes the amendment includes an additional 1,400-foot long pedestrian and bicycle trail segment along the east bank of the Schuylkill River from South Street to the vicinity of Christian Street. The overall site area within the project property is approximately 3.36 acres. (Frankford, PA USGS Quadrangle N: 13.37 inches; W: 8.17 inches).
The issuance of this permit also constitutes approval of a Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act [33 U.S.C.A. 1341(a)].
