E5904221-004. Union Township Supervisors, 324 Union Centre Road, Canton, PA 17724. Goose Town Road Culvert Replacement, in Union Township, Tioga County, ACOE Baltimore District (Ralston, PA Quadrangle; Latitude: 41° 34` 50"; Latitude -76° 59` 22").
To replace and relocate a crossing on Goose Town Road over UNT French Lick Creek. The stream involved is an unnamed tributary to French Lick Run (HQ-CWF, MF, Wild Trout) which presently passes through a 48" steel residential driveway culvert. It then flows along a steep bank in front of the residence and then through a 24" culvert under Goose Town Road before discharging into French Lick Run. The configuration is problematic and has a history of washout and overtopping. The selected solution is to install a new crossing under Goose Town Road just upstream of the driveway culvert. One hundred lineal feet of 71" x 103" CMPA will be installed to convey the flow directly into French Lick Run. The proposed outlet is on an outside bend that is experiencing significant erosion that could ultimately impact the road. Approximately 75 feet of stream bank will be stabilized with riprap in addition to the culvert outlet protection. The proposed structure will be depressed 12".
A PNDI search determined no known impacts. A wetland delineation determined no wetlands at the project site.

The proposed project is located at 124 Tennessee Gas Road (Latitude: 41.7119°; Longitude: -75.5996°).
On June 30, 2020, 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. CP20-493-000). The FERC Environmental Assessment for the Project, which was issued on February 2, 2021, may be viewed on FERC's website at www.ferc.gov (search eLibrary; Docket Search; CP20-493-000).
September 30, 2020, Applicant requested a state water quality certification (SWQC) 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 consistent with the requirements of State law and the Clean Water Act.
Project activities in Pennsylvania consist of the modification to existing Compressor Station 321 in Susquehanna County. An existing building will be expanded to accommodate a new compressor unit and auxiliary facilities. The proposed modifications require installation of underground piping and modifications to the existing stormwater management system. The Project will require approximately 27 acres of earth disturbance and impacts to approximately 0.008 acre of an isolated PEM wetland.
PADEP published notice of its proposed SWQC in the Pennsylvania Bulletin on March 13, 2021 (51 Pa.B. 1353) and received no comments from the public.
PADEP certifies that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project complies with the applicable provisions of sections 301—303, 306 and 307 of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311—1313, 1316 and 1317). The PADEP further certifies that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project complies with Pennsylvania water quality standards and that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project will maintain and protect applicable Commonwealth water quality standards provided that the construction, operation and maintenance of the project complies with the following PADEP water quality permitting programs, criteria and conditions established pursuant to Pennsylvania law:
