The scrubber will be expected to meet a 4.73 lb/hr and 15 tpy NOx emission limit. Parameters that ensure proper scrubber operation will be monitored and recorded.

In their place, construct and maintain one 96.38 foot-long, 2-span, precast concrete beam bridge resulting in 186 linear feet (23,662 square feet, 0.54 acre) of permanent watercourse impact due to the placement of riprap and 0.38 acre of permanent floodway impact, and 30,820 square feet (0.71 acre) of permanent floodplain impact due to roadway embankment fill, grading for a swale to facilitate stormwater discharge from a 24-inch outfall, and placement of riprap (USGS PA Phoenixville Quadrangle—Latitude 40.23980 N, Longitude 75.60916 W).
2. To place fill and relocate an unnamed tributary to Sprogel Run (WWF-MF, Stream 81) associated with SR 422 bridge construction. This activity will result in 142 linear feet (719 square feet, 0.02 acre) of permanent watercourse impact, 102 square feet (0.01 acre) of permanent floodway impact and 1,320 square feet (0.03 acre) of permanent floodplain impact (USGS PA Phoenixville Quadrangle—Latitude 40.23935 N, Longitude 75.60944 W).
3. To abandon-in-place/fill a 48-inch RCP stream enclosure carrying an unnamed tributary to Sprogel Run (WWF-MF, Stream 7/83), relocate, place fill and grade, and adjacent to existing structure, to construct and maintain a new 200-foot-long, 48-inch diameter, RCP stream enclosure resulting in 412 linear feet (4,648 square feet) of permanent watercourse impact. This activity includes grading, relocation and restoration of watercourse, construction, and maintenance of an 18-inch RCP outfall and riprap, and 18-inch RCP outfall. (USGS PA Phoenixville Quadrangle—Latitude 40.24007 N, Longitude 75.32416 W).
4. To place fill within an unnamed tributary to Sprogel Run (WWF-MF, Stream 8) and grade to facilitate the construction of a stormwater facility resulting in 253 linear feet (3,204 square feet) of permanent watercourse impact. This activity also includes impacts to watercourse due to permanent placement of riprap rock apron (USGS PA Phoenixville Quadrangle—Latitude 40.24125 N, Longitude 75.60027 W).
5. To place fill within an unnamed tributary (WWF-MF, Stream 83) associated with roadway reconstruction resulting in 159 linear feet (677 square feet) of permanent watercourse impact (USGS PA Phoenixville Quadrangle—Latitude 40.240783 N, Longitude 75.615950 W).
6. To place fill adjacent to a wetland area (PFO, Wetland 4) associated with roadway reconstruction and redirecting roadway drainage. This activity will result in 801 square feet of permanent wetland impact due to loss of hydrology (USGS PA Phoenixville Quadrangle—Latitude 40.24180 N, Longitude -75.591556 W).
7. To remove an existing 329 foot-long, 72.25 foot-wide, 4-span concrete I-Beam bridge and its piers over Sanatoga Creek (WWF-MF, Stream 5), and in its place, construct and maintain a 336.33 foot-long, 95.38 foot-wide, 3-span precast concrete beam bridge resulting in 94 linear feet (31,960 square feet, 0.73 acre) of permanent watercourse impact due to the placement of scour protection, 285 linear feet, 450 linear feet (30,980 square feet, 0.71 acre) of temporary watercourse impact due to two temporary stream crossings, and in-water by-pass to facilitate construction, 13,414 square feet of floodway impact due to riprap scour protection. This activity also includes the construction and maintenance of a 24-inch outfall and placement of riprap rock apron resulting in 171 square feet of permanent floodplain impact. (USGS PA Phoenixville Quadrangle—Latitude 40.24298 N, Longitude 75.58555 W).
8. To construct and maintain an 18-inch RCP outfall resulting in 6 linear feet (86 square feet) of permanent watercourse impact. This activity also includes the placement of riprap rock apron (USGS PA Phoenixville Quadrangle—Latitude 40.24247 N, Longitude 75.58166 W).

The project consists of installation of a new driveway crossing an unnamed tributary to Sinking Creek (CWF, MF) and a floodplain wetland to access a residential building lot. Permanent impacts will be 225 square feet of exceptional value wetland, 130 square feet of stream, and 1,300 square feet of floodway. No temporary impacts to regulated waters are proposed. No threatened or endangered species are known to exist within the project boundary.
E6004221-003 Douglas W. Reed, 6906 Buffalo Road, Mifflinburg, PA 17844. Septic System Replacement, Buffalo Township, Union County, Baltimore ACOE (Mifflinburg, PA Quadrangle N: 40°57` 39.48"; W: -77°01` 12.17").
The Department of Environmental Protection has granted the landowner approval to replace a residential septic system which requires a utility crossing over a tributary to Rapid Run. The house was built in 1962 and the septic system needs replaced. The Sewage Enforcement Officer (SEO) approved the design which requires a new tank to be installed near the house for solids and a sand mound for effluent which is sited at the edge of the property near Buffalo Road. The connecting pipeline must cross Tributary 19005 to connect the tank and sand mound. The tributary and Rapid Run are listed in the Pa. Code Chapter 93 designation as Exceptional Value (EV) and supporting Migratory Fish (MF). The project is planned for the Autumn of 2021.
