COAL AND NONCOAL MINING ACTIVITY APPLICATIONS

   Applications under the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1396.1--1396.19a); the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P. S. §§ 3301--3326); and The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1--691.1001); the Coal Refuse Disposal Control Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51--30.66); and The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1--1406.21). Mining activity permits issued in response to the applications will also address the applicable permitting requirements of the following statutes: the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P. S. §§ 4001--4015); the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1--693.27); and the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P. S. §§ 6018.101--6018.1003).

   The following permit applications to conduct mining activities have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). A copy of the application is available for inspection at the District Mining Office indicated before each application. Where a 401 Water Quality Certification is needed for any aspect of a particular proposed mining activity, the submittal of the permit application will serve as the request for certification.

   Written comments, objections or requests for informal conferences on applications may be submitted by any person or any officer or head of any Federal, State or local government agency or authority to the Department at the same address within 30 days of this publication, or within 30 days after the last publication of the applicant's newspaper advertisement, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.121--77.123 and 86.31--86.34 (relating to public notices of filing of permit applications, opportunity for comment and informal conferences).

   Where any of the mining activities listed will have discharges of wastewater to streams, the Department will incorporate NPDES permits into the mining activity permits issued in response to these applications. NPDES permits will contain, at a minimum, technology-based effluent limitations as identified in this notice for the respective coal and noncoal applications. In addition to the previous, more restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining which may occur will be incorporated into a mining activity permit, when necessary, for compliance with water quality standards (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 93 and 95). Persons or agencies which have requested review of the NPDES permit requirements for a particular mining activity within the previously-mentioned public comment period will be provided with a 30-day period to review and submit comments on those requirements.

   Written comments or objections should contain the name, address and telephone number of persons submitting comments or objections; application number; and a statement of sufficient detail to inform the Department on the basis of comment or objection and relevant facts upon which it is based. Requests for an informal conference must contain the name, address and telephone number of requestor; application number; a brief summary of the issues to be raised by the requestor at the conference; and a statement whether the requestor desires to have the conference conducted in the locality of the proposed mining activities.

   The application proposes to construct, operate and maintain a stream bank stabilization project on Johnson Creek and Beaver Creek (tributary to Johnson Creek), both of which are designated as CWF. The project intends to use rock vane structures, riprap bank stabilization, channel realignment and vegetation to achieve the stabilization. The constructed project length extends 2,100 linear feet in both watersheds with an increase in-stream length of approximately 200 linear feet. An additional 0.17 acre of wetland will be permanently impacted as a result of completing this project.

   Southwest Region: Water Management Program Manager, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-4745.

   To repair and maintain an existing 10.5-foot wide solid fill dock extending approximately 52.5 feet into the west side of Conneaut Lake at 11018 Aldina Drive approximately 0.8 mile north of SR 322. Work completed prior to obtaining this permit consisted of replacing the deteriorated wood perimeter with new plywood and posts.

   E37-148,  City of New Castle, 230 N. Jefferson Street, New Castle, PA 16101, West Bank Interceptor and Trunk Line Sewer System Project, in City of New Castle, Lawrence County, ACOE Pittsburgh District (New Castle North, New Castle South and Bessemer).

   The purpose of the application is to construct a new sewer interceptor system along the western bank of the Shenango River (WWF) between Grant Street and the New Castle Wastewater Treatment Plant. The sewer will begin at Grant Street near the existing grant street bridge. The sewer will follow the former New Castle and Beaver Valley Railroad for approximately 3 miles south to the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie overpass, at which point the sewer will diverge from the railroad and enter into the City of New Castle at S. Wayne Street. The alignment will remain in S. Wayne Street down to an existing 48-inch storm sewer crossing under the railroad. This railroad crossing will be rehabilitated and utilized to convey the flow to the wastewater treatment plant adjacent to SR 0018 (Montgomery Avenue).

   The project will involve the replacement of four stormwater outfalls to the Shenango River (drop inlet 1--24 inch diameter pipe, drop inlet 2--36 inch diameter pipe, drop inlets 3 and 4--12 inch diameter pipe) and a 24 inch pipe diameter stormwater outfall will be constructed to the Mahoning River (WWF).
