NOTICES

Federal Consistency under the Coastal Zone Management Act

[44 Pa.B. 964]
[Saturday, February 15, 2014]

 This notice is published under section 306(d)(14) of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (CZMA) (16 U.S.C.A. § 1455(d)(14)), regarding public participation during consistency determinations. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Coastal Resources Management Program has received notice that Weeks Marine, Inc. is proposing to conduct maintenance dredging at 22 facilities within the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers in this Commonwealth. The proposed activity consists of dredging to the same depth and within the same footprint that has been previously approved. The primary disposal facility is White's Basin, within New Jersey, and is permitted by both the United States Army Corps of Engineers and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Material that does not meet the standards and specifications for disposal at White's Basin will be transported to the Biles Island disposal facility in Bucks County. This project is subject to Department review for Federal consistency because it requires authorization under a Federal permit and will have reasonably foreseeable effects on this Commonwealth's coastal resources or uses.

 In accordance with 15 CFR Part 930, Subpart D (relating to consistency for activities requiring a Federal license or permit), Weeks Marine, Inc. has certified that the proposed activity will be conducted in a manner consistent with the applicable enforceable policies of the Commonwealth's approved Coastal Zone Management Program. Interested parties may request a copy of the Federal Consistency Certification from the Department contact listed as follows.

 The Department will consider all comments received on or before Monday, March 3, 2014, prior to issuing a final Federal consistency concurrence or objection. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted. Comments, including comments submitted by e-mail must include the originator's name and address. Written comments should be submitted to Matt Walderon, Federal Consistency Coordinator, Interstate Waters Office, 400 Market Street, P. O. 8465, Rachel Carson State Office Building, Harrisburg, PA 17101-8465, (717) 772-2196, RA-Fed_Consistency@pa.gov.
