Plan Description:
Hostler Subdivision, A3-34917-229-2E. The request for planning exemption for the Hostler Subdivision (DEP Code No. A3-34917-229-2E; APS ID No. 1069162) has been disapproved. The proposed development—located at 577 East River Road in Walker Township, PA—consists of sewage planning for two new single-family homes on an existing residential lot, each utilizing an on-lot disposal system with total project flows of 800 gallons per day. This request for planning exemption has been disapproved because the submission does not qualify as an exemption from the requirement to revise the Official Plan because the subdivision proposes the use of onlot sewage disposal systems in an area underlain by carbonate geology as per Chapter 71, Section 71.51(b)(1)(ii).
LAND RECYCLING AND
ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 2
The Following Plans and Reports Were Submitted Under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.908).
Provisions of Sections 301—308 of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) (35 P.S. §§ 6026.301—6026.308) require the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of submission of plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the act's remediation standards. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis for selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling analytical results which demonstrate that remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Submission of plans and reports, other than the final report, will also be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These include the remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan for a site-specific standard remediation. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation; concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of reuse of the property; and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements.

FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION
CONTROL ACT SECTION 401The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has taken the following actions on previously received permit applications, requests for Environmental Assessment approval, and requests for Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341).
Except as otherwise noted, DEP has granted 401 Water Quality Certification certifying that the construction and operation described will comply with the applicable provisions of 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.
Individuals aggrieved by these actions may appeal, pursuant to Section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act, 35 P.S. § 7514, and the Administrative Agency Law, 2 Pa.C.S. Chapter 5A, 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 Department hereby approves the Environmental Assessment and restoration plans, including the associated erosion and sediment control plans. The Cobbs Creek Restoration and Community Foundation (CCRCF) transferred the original application to RES for approval of an Environmental Assessment and restoration plans in accordance with Chapter 105.12(a)(16). The restoration project proposes to provide comprehensive aquatic resource restoration of Cobbs Creek, Indian Creek and unnamed tributaries through the removal of legacy sediment to restore the floodplain as closely as possible to historical conditions. The restoration is now intended to meet future third party compensation needs as a private third-party mitigation bank instead of as a PA Department of Environmental Protection In-Lieu Fee project. This comprehensive aquatic resource restoration will remove approximately 350,000 cubic yards of legacy sediment from an approximately 38 acres floodplain area of Cobbs Creek, Indian Creek and unnamed tributaries for the purpose of restoring natural aquatic ecosystems; to re-establish 36.8 acres of wetlands within the restored floodplain and enhance 1.2 acres; to realign approximately 8,014 lineal feet of Cobbs Creek 3,200 feet of Indian Creek and 4,460 feet of unnamed tributaries for the purpose of restoring approximately 19,326 LF of Cobbs Creek, 3,468 feet of Indian Creek and 3,714 feet of unnamed tributaries within the restored floodplain; to place log sills, root wads, and other wood grade control structures and woody debris habitat structures in restored channels and floodplain areas; to grade 2.27 acres of wetland for the purpose of relocating and reestablishing high quality wetlands within the proposed floodplain, tying in the proposed floodplain elevations to the existing grade, and using excavated floodplain material to elevate golf course features above the 100-year water surface elevation. The use of fill material within the site is a critical component of implementing the restoration to reduce the cost and impacts associated with hauling the excavated legacy sediment off-site. These proposed impacts will address the existing lateral stream bank erosion and downcutting stream bed (that is providing a sediment source to the Cobbs Creek watershed. If not addressed, this horizontal and vertical degradation (and resulting sediment load) would only worsen over time. The 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) is provided through the previously issued 401 WQC for Nation Wide Permit 27 or PA State Programmatic General Permit 6.
