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, P.O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483.

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 free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

In addition, existing wetlands will be enhanced at the Neshannock Creek Restoration Site, in Mercer County, to provide approximately 1.33 acre of PFO wetland, to compensate for conversion impacts to wetlands for the entire project, including permanent conversion impacts to 0.05 acre of PFO wetland in Washington County. This project enters Washington County approximately 3,150 feet south-southeast of the intersection of Old Steubenville Pike and State Route 980 (Quadrangle: Clinton, PA), Latitude 40° 25` 7.42"; Longitude: -80° 17` 16.45"), with a connection to the Houston Plant approximately 1,500 feet north-northwest of the intersection of Western Avenue and Ullom Road (Quadrangle: Midway, PA, Latitude 40° 15` 48.69"; Longitude: -80° 15` 50.54").

CORRECTIVE ACTION UNDER ACT 32, 1989
PREAMBLE 2
The following plans and reports were submitted under the Storage Tank and Spill Prevention Act (35 P.S. §§ 6021.101—6021.2104).
Provisions of 25 Pa. Code Chapter 245 Subchapter D, Administration of the Storage Tank and Spill Prevention Program, require the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A remedial action plan is submitted to summarize the site characterization, document the design and construction details for the remedial action, and describe how the remedial action will attain the selected remediation standard. The remedial action plan also provides results of studies performed and data collected to support the remedial action and a description of postremediation care requirements. A remedial action completion report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to the selected remediation standard. A remedial action completion report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or non-residential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected.
For further information concerning plans or reports, please contact the Environmental Cleanup Program Manager in the DEP Regional Office under which the notice of receipt of plans or reports appears. If information concerning plans or reports is required in an alternative form, contact the Community Relations Coordinator at the appropriate Regional Office listed. TDD users may telephone the DEP through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
