Pine Grove, PA 17963Schuylkill Plan Description: An Update Revision to the Pine Grove Borough and the Pine Grove Township Official Sewage Facilities Plans has been denied Departmental approval. This Update Revision was developed for the Borough and the Township by the Pine Grove Joint Treatment Authority. The Update Revision contains a Selected Alternative that calls for a sewer line replacement program in portions of Pine Grove Borough and the construction of a new 2.0 million gallon per day (MGD) sewage treatment plant. The new plant is to be located in Pine Grove Township at a site along the western side of the I-81 Pine Grove interchange. A new pump station and a 10,000 lineal foot force main/interceptor are to be constructed to convey the sewage from the existing service area to the location of the new plant. The Update Revision indicates that the chosen alternative was to be financed through a grant from U. S. Department of Agriculture, Rural Utilities Service (RUS), in the amount of $9,044,030 and a $3,018,679 loan for a term of 40-years at an interest rate of 4.5 percent. The timeline for completing the Selected Alternative is found in the Schedule of Implementation of the Update Revision.
The reason for the Department denying planning approval of the Update Revision is that the Selected Alternative cannot be implemented as presented and failed to contain any contingency financial plan.

Regional Office: Regional Manager, Water Management Program, Northwest Region, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335.
Certification Request Initiated by: Erie Western Pennsylvania Port Authority, Raymond P. Schreckengost, Executive Director, 17 West Dobbins Landing, Erie, PA 16507-1424.
Date of Initial Pennsylvania Bulletin Notice: March 17, 2000.
Project Description: The Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has requested a State certification under Section 401(a) of the act that the discharge of dredged material from the East Avenue Launch Ramp into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) will comply with the applicable provisions of Sections 301--303, 306 and 307 of the 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 into 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 US 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 East Avenue Launch Ramp (Erie North, PA N: 3.6 inches; W: 8.9 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 East Avenue Launch Ramp basin and use of the CDF will require separate 401 Water Quality Certification.
Location: Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (Erie North, PA N: 4.7 inches; W: 10.3 inches) Erie City, Erie County.
Final Action on Request: Certification granted. This is a one-time certification for the described project.
