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.

Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Federal Clean Water Act for the PennEast Pipeline Project
Natural Gas Pipeline Project and Related Mitigation; FERC Doc. No. CP15-558-000; PADEP File No. WQ02-005 WQ02-005, PennEast Pipeline Company, LLC (Applicant), 1 Meridian Boulevard, Suite 2C01, Wyomissing, PA 19610, PennEast Pipeline Project (Project), in Dallas, Kingston, Jenkins, Plains and Bear Creek Townships, West Wyoming, Wyoming and Laflin Boroughs, Luzerne County, Kidder, Penn Forest, Towamensing and Lower Towamensing Townships, Carbon County, Lehigh, Moore, East Allen, Upper Nazareth, Lower Nazareth, Bethlehem, Lower Saucon, and Williams Townships, and Easton City, Northampton County, and Durham and Rieglesville Townships, Bucks County, Philadelphia and Baltimore District Corps of Engineers. The proposed project starts at a point at the Wyoming Pipeline Interconnect of the Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. pipeline (Kingston, PA Quadrangle N: 41°20`48.16", W: 75°56`43.42") and ends at a point under the Delaware River as it enters New Jersey (Rieglesville, PA Quadrangle N: 40°35`2.28", W: 75°11`35.43").
On September 24, 2015, Applicant filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C.A. § 717f) seeking a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to construct and operate its Project (FERC Docket No. CP 15-558-000). The FERC Environmental Assessment for the Project, when available, may be viewed on FERC's website at www.ferc.gov (search eLibrary; Docket Search; CP 15-558-000).
On February 9, 2016, Applicant requested a state water quality certification from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), as required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341), to ensure that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project will protect water quality in Pennsylvania through compliance with State water quality standards and associated State law requirements, which are consistent with the requirements of the Clean Water Act.
The pipeline project is an approximate 78.2 mile long, 36-inch diameter pipeline for the purpose of transporting natural gas, beginning at a point at the Wyoming Pipeline Interconnect of the Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. pipeline (Kingston, PA Quadrangle N: 41°20`48.16", W: 75°56`43.42") crossing Dallas, Kingston, Jenkins, Plains and Bear Creek Townships, West Wyoming, Wyoming and Laflin Boroughs, Luzerne County; Kidder, Penn Forest, Towamensing and Lower Towamensing Townships, Carbon County; Lehigh, Moore, East Allen, Upper Nazareth, Lower Nazareth, Bethlehem, Lower Saucon, and Williams Townships, and Easton City, Northampton County; and Durham and Rieglesville Townships, Bucks County, ending at a point under the Delaware River as it enters New Jersey (Rieglesville, PA Quadrangle N: 40°35`2.28", W: 75°11`35.43"). The project includes an approximate 2.1-mile-long lateral, known as the Hellertown lateral consisting of 24-inch pipeline located in Lower Saucon Township, Northampton County and will serve as an interconnect with Columbia Gas Transmission, LLC and UGI Utilities, Inc. The project will require 1,646.2 acres for temporary workspace and permanent easement, 67.3 acres of floodway impacts, 22.45 acres of wetland impacts with 7.43 acres of scrub shrub and forested wetland conversion to emergent wetlands and 17,905 linear feet of stream impacts. The project will also include pig launcher and receiver facilities, meter stations, compressor stations, mainline valves, access roads and contractor yards.
