WATER OBSTRUCTIONS AND ENCROACHMENTS Regional Permit Coordination Office: 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, PA 17101, Domenic Rocco, PE, Program Manager, 717-772-5987.
Applicant: Dominion Energy Transmission, Inc., 707 East Main Street, Richmond, VA 23219, West Loop Project.
The applicant is proposing the installation and maintenance of an approximately 5.1-mile-long, 36-inch diameter pipeline and appurtenant facilities in various municipalities within Beaver and Lawrence County as part of the West Loop Project. The project consists of one Chapter 105 Water Obstruction and Encroachment Permits and one Chapter 102 Erosion and Sediment Control Permit. Below is the Chapter 105 permit application being reviewed by the Department.
E04832-001. The Beaver County portion of the project is located in Big Beaver and Homewood Boroughs and Chippewa, South Beaver, North Sewickley, and Darlington Townships, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Pittsburgh District. The proposed project starts at the proposed Stitt Gate Site interconnect in Beaver County (Latitude: 40.79362°; Longitude: -80.4118°) and ends at the existing Koppel Junction Site in Beaver County (Latitude: 40.834025°; Longitude: -80.3313°).
The proposed project impacts in Beaver County include a total of 2,387 linear feet of temporary impacts and 1,671 linear feet of permanent impacts to Clarks Run (WWF), tributaries to Clarks Run (WWF), Stockman Run (WWF), tributaries to Stockman Run (WWF), and tributaries to North Fork Little Beaver Creek (HQ—CWF); 1.867 acre of floodway impacts; 0.406 acre of temporary impacts to PEM, PSS, and PFO wetlands; and 2.122 acres of permanent impacts to PEM, PSS, and PFO wetlands. To compensate for the proposed permanent project impacts in Beaver County, the applicant is proposing 0.7 to 1.3 acre of wetland mitigation enhancement (Permittee-Responsible Mitigation) or mitigation bank credits. No resources will be impacted in North Beaver Township, Lawrence County.
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PERMITS The following parties have applied for Erosion and Sediment Control Permits for earth disturbance associated with oil and gas exploration, production, processing, or treatment operations or transmission facilities.
Unless otherwise indicated, on the basis of preliminary review and application of lawful standards and regulations, the Department proposes to issue a permit to discharge, subject to certain limitations in the permit conditions. These proposed determinations are tentative. Limitations are provided as erosion and sediment control best management practices which restrict the rate and quantity of sediment discharged.
A person wishing to comment on a proposed permit are invited to submit a statement to the appropriate Department office listed before the application within 30 days of this public notice. Comments reviewed within this 30-day period will be considered in the formulation of the final determinations regarding this application. Responses should 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 relevant facts upon which it is based.
