Certification Request Initiated by: Erie Western Pennsylvania Port Authority, Raymond P. Schreckengost, Executive Director, 17 West Dobbins Landing, Erie, PA 16507-1424.
Project Description: The Erie Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has requested a State certification under section 401(a) of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341(a)) that the dredging of the Captain John E. Lampe Marina basin and the discharge of this dredged material into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) will comply with the applicable provisions of sections 301--303, 306 and 307 of the Federal Clean Water Act.
This request was necessitated by conditions imposed by the Department's Water Obstruction and Encroachment Permits E25-404A and E25-581 issued to the Erie Western Pennsylvania Port Authority requiring Federal Water Act Section 401 certification for the disposal of dredged material in the CDF prior to each dredging and disposal event. The Erie Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has sampled and tested the sediments in accordance with Attachment A ''Sample Collection and Testing Protocol'' of both Water Obstruction and Encroachments Permits E25-404A and E25-581. Laboratory testing was conducted in accordance with the United States Army Corps of Engineer's Inland Testing Manual and the document ''Ecological Evaluation of Proposed Discharge of Dredged or Fill Material in Navigable Waters.'' Based upon this sampling and laboratory testing, the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority indicates that the dredging of this approximately 9,700 cubic yards of basin sediments from the Captain John E. Lampe Marina (Erie North, PA Quadrangle N: 4.2 inches; W: 10.0 inches) and the discharge of this dredged material into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (Erie North, PA N: 4.7 inches; W: 10.3 inches) will have a relatively insignificant effect on the water quality of Lake Erie. This 401 Water Quality Certification is only for this single activity. Any subsequent dredging of the Captain John E. Lampe Marina and use of the CDF will require separate 401 Water Quality Certification.

Project Description: The Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has requested a State certification under section 401(a) of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341(a)) that the discharge of dredged material from the West Canal Basin into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) will comply with the applicable provisions of sections 301--303, 306 and 307 of the Federal Clean Water Act.

Laboratory testing was conducted in accordance with the United States Army Corps of Engineer's Inland Testing Manual and the document ''Ecological Evaluation of Proposed Discharge of Dredged or Fill Material in Navigable Waters.'' Based upon this sampling and laboratory testing, the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority indicates that the approximately 500 cubic yards of basin sediments from the West Canal Basin (Erie North, PA N: 2.0 inches; W: 12.2 inches) discharged into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (Erie North, PA N: 4.7 inches; W: 10.3 inches) will have a relatively insignificant effect on the water quality of Lake Erie. This 401 Water Quality Certification is only for this single activity. Any subsequent dredging of the West Canal Basin and use of the CDF will require separate 401 Water Quality Certification.
