Recycling Grant Awards under the Municipal Waste Planning,
Recycling and Waste Reduction Act of 1988, Act 101

   The Department of Environmental Protection announces the following grants to municipalities for recycling programs under the Pennsylvania Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act of 1988, Act 101, P. L. 556, section 902.

   Grant funds are used to develop and implement recycling programs. Municipalities and counties are eligible for up to 90% funding of approved recycling program costs. Municipalities considered financially distressed under the Financial Distressed Communities Act are eligible to receive funding for an additional 10% of approved costs. Grant awards are predicated on the receipt of recycling fees required by sections 701 and 702 of Act 101 and the availability of moneys in the Recycling Fund.

   Inquiries regarding the grant offerings should be directed to Todd Pejack, Recycling Grants Coordinator, Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Land Recycling and Waste Management, Division of Waste Minimization and Planning, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P. O. Box 8472, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8472.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the Getty Run Watershed in Westmoreland County

   Greensburg District Mining Office: Ron Horansky, Watershed Manager, Armbrust Professional Center, R. D.2 Box 603-C, Greensburg, PA.

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on May 5, 2004, at 7 p.m. at the Stonelodge Environmental Center, Keystone State Park, New Alexandria, PA to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL, established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Two stream segments in the Getty Run Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996, 1998 and 2002 Pennsylvania 303(d) lists due to metals and pH. The listed segments and miles degraded are as follows:

Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded
43257 (Segment 990511-0840-ALF) Getty Run 5.73
43257 (Segment 990511-1000-ALF) Getty Run 4.0  

   The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept iron, aluminum, manganese and acidity and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:

Parameter Criterion Value
(mg/l)
Total Recoverable/Dissolved
Aluminum (Al) 0.75 Total Recoverable
Iron (Fe) 1.50 30-day average; Total Recoverable
Manganese (Mn) 1.00 Total Recoverable
pH 6.0--9.0 N/A

   The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal throughout the 20th century. The effects of this are still present. Mining continues in the watershed today. The report consists of both waste load allocations for permitted discharges and load allocations for nonpoint sources.

   The TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. MCS allows for the expansion of a dataset based on its statistical makeup. Since there was no critical flow condition where criteria were exceeded, the Department used the average flow to express the loading values in the TMDL.

   The TMDL sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. The basis of information used in the establishment of this TMDL is field data collected in 2002 and 2003.

   The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and an information sheet or direction to the meeting site, contact Ron Horansky, Armbrust Professional Center, R. D. 2 Box 603-C, Greensburg, PA 15601, (724) 925-5500, rhoranksy@state.pa.us.

   The TMDL can be viewed and printed by accessing the Department's website: www.dep.state.pa.us (DEP Keyword: TMDL).

   Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked by July 1, 2004. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department by May 4, 2004. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the EPA for approval.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the McCune Run Watershed in Westmoreland County

   Greensburg District Mining Office: Ron Horansky, Watershed Manager, Armbrust Professional Center, R. D. 2 Box 603-C, Greensburg, PA.

   The Department is holding a public meeting on May 5, 2004, at 7 p.m. at the Stonelodge Environmental Center, Keystone State Park, New Alexandria, PA to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL, established in accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. One stream segment in the McCune Run Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996, 1998 and 2002 Pennsylvania 303(d) lists due to metals, suspended solids and pH. The listed segments and miles degraded are as follows:

Stream Code Stream Name Miles Degraded
43397 (Segment 990512-1415-ALF) McCune Run 2.56

   The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept iron, aluminum, manganese and acidity and maintain levels below water quality criteria. The applicable water quality criteria are as follows:

Parameter Criterion Value
(mg/l)
Total Recoverable/Dissolved
Aluminum (Al) 0.75 Total Recoverable
Iron (Fe) 1.50 30-day average; Total Recoverable
Manganese (Mn) 1.00 Total Recoverable
pH 6.0--9.0 N/A

   The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was heavily mined for coal in the late 19th century and throughout the 20th century. The effects of this are still present. All of the allocations made in the TMDL are load allocations (LA) that are made to nonpoint sources of pollution.
