Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. 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.

The State and Federal courts are currently split on whether the proper forum to challenge a Department permit, authorization or approval for a facility or activity subject to the Federal Natural Gas Act, 15 U.S.C.A. §§ 717 et seq., is the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit or the Pennsylvania Environmental Hearing Board.

LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 3
The Department Has Taken Action on the Following Plans and Reports Under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Section 250.8 of 25 Pa. Code and administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to publish in the Pennsylvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on 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 remediation standards of the act. A final 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 nonresidential 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. Plans and reports required by the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. 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. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The DEP may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides DEP's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning plans or reports, please contact the Regional Office Program Manager previously listed in the notice.
Individuals in need of accommodations should contact DEP through the Pennsylvania Hamilton Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users).

FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT, SECTION 401 Piney Hydroelectric Project No. 309, Brookfield Renewable Energy Group, Brookfield Power Piney & Deep Creek LLC, 2000 River Road, Clarion, PA 16214, Piney Station, Clarion County.
The Piney Hydroelectric Project (Project) is operated by Brookfield Power Piney & Deep Creek LLC (Brookfield) under the provisions of 401 Water Quality Certification (WQC) issued by the Department on August 29, 2003. The WQC imposes certain operating conditions on the Project necessary for the protection of statewide water uses, including maintenance of certain minimum reservoir (aka, Piney Lake) pool levels. The WQC specifies an annual minimum reservoir pool level of 1,092.5 ± 0.5 feet above mean sea level (MSL) from April 1 through June 20 and maintenance of reservoir pool levels ''in such a manner as to protect statewide water uses in the reservoir'' outside of this time period (Condition 1.2). The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license for the project requires a minimum reservoir pool of 1,090 feet MSL during the period from June 21—October 31.
In response to a written request from Brookfield, the Department has authorized the temporary suspension of the current 401 WQC operating conditions related to Project reservoir pool levels and has instead authorized the maintenance of reservoir pool levels between 1,087.5 feet and 1,088 feet above MSL from April 1, 2024—October 31, 2024. This modification is needed to safely complete renovations to the Tainter gate structures on the crest of Piney Dam. These renovations are necessary to allow for the safe passage of newly projected maximum flood flows through the dam. Reservoir pool levels will be reestablished to the levels specified in the 2003 WQC following construction.

For sources previously subject to RACT II case-by-case determinations which have not been modified or changed, P&G has submitted a separate limited analysis in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Section 129.114(i) to demonstrate compliance with the alternative RACT requirements. These sources and their associated requirements include: a continued NOx emissions limit of 0.24 lb/MMBtu when firing natural gas and 0.41 lb/MMBtu when firing paper fines for source 033A, a continued NOx emissions limit of 0.14 lb/MMBtu on a 3-hr average for sources 507 and 508, the continued maintenance of sources in accordance with manufacturers specifications and use of good operating practices for VOC control for the following sources: DP18, ED1, PG9, and DC1, the continued use of low-VOC additives for VOC control for sources DP18 and PG9, and the continued closure of source LF1 for VOC control.
Other sources at the facility which are not included in the alternative RACT III determination include air contamination sources subject to a presumptive RACT requirement or RACT emissions limitation in 25 Pa. Code § 129.112, air contamination sources that are exempt from 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.112—114 because they have the PTE of less than 1 tpy of NOx and/or less than 1 tpy of VOC, in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 129.111(c), and air contamination sources that are exempt from 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.112—114 because they are already subject to certain Chapter 129 RACT requirements (i.e., 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.51, 129.52(a)—(k) and Table I categories 1—11, 129.52a—129.52e, 129.54—129.63a, 129.64—129.69, 129.71—129.75, 129.77, and 129.101—129.107), in accordance with 25 Pa. Code § 129.111(a).
