E53-404. Department of Transportation District 2-0, 1924-30 Daisy Street, Clearfield, PA 16830. SR1020, Section A01 Bridge Replacement, in Galeton Borough, Potter County, ACOE Baltimore District (Galeton, PA Quadrangle N: 19.50 inches; W: 3.42 inches).
To remove an existing bridge and to construct, operate and maintain a two span prestressed concrete spread box beam bridge that will carry SR 1029, Section A01, across the West Branch of Pine Creek. The two span SR 1020, Section A01, bridge shall be constructed with each span having a minimum clear span of 46-feet. The bridge will also be constructed with a minimum underclearance of 10.92-feet and skew of 90°. All in-stream bridge appurtenances shall be constructed during stream low flow and dry conditions by dams and pumping or fluming stream flow around in-stream work areas. Since West Branch of Pine Creek is a stock trout fishery, no construction or future repair work shall be done in or along the stream channel between March 1 and June 15 without prior written permission from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. The project is located along the western right-of-way of SR 0144 approximately 1.5 miles west of SR 1020 and SR 0144 intersection. This permit also authorizes construction, operation, maintenance and removal of temporary pedestrian bridge, construction causeway, cofferdams and/or stream diversions. If any altered or added design element is proposed for the temporary structures that were reviewed and approved for issuing this permit, then the permittee shall submit those proposed revisions to the Department for review and written approval prior to any design changes being made to the temporary structures.

Request for Comment and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the Harmon Creek Watershed in Washington County
Greensburg District Mining Office: Ron Horansky, Watershed Manager, Armbrust Professional Center, R. D. 2 Box 603-C, Greensburg, PA 15601.
The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is holding a public meeting on January 25, 2005, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Raccoon Creek State Park Office to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL, established in accordance with the requirements of the 1996 Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. One stream segment in the Harmon Creek Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania 303(d) list due to metals and suspended solids. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:
Stream Code (Segment ID) Stream Name Miles Degraded 33112 (4504) Harmon Creek 5.9 The proposed plan provides calculations of the stream's total capacity to accept 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 early 20th century. The effects of this are still present. All allocations made in the TMDL are load allocations to nonpoint sources of pollution.
The TMDL was developed using Monte Carlo Simulation to determine long-term average concentrations that each stream segment could accept and still meet water quality criteria 99% of the time. Monte Carlo Simulation 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, contact Ron Horansky at (724) 925-5500 between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, at Armbrust Professional Center, R. D. 2, Box 603-C, Greensburg, PA, 15601. E-mail will be received at rhoranksy@state.pa.us. Directions to the meeting place can also be obtained through this contact.
The TMDL can be viewed and printed by accessing the Department's website at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL).
Written comments will be accepted at the previously listed address and must be postmarked by February 2, 2005. Persons who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should notify the Department no later than 3 p.m. on January 21, 2005. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.

Four stream segments in the Raccoon Creek Watershed have been identified as impaired on the 1996 and 2002 Pennsylvania 303(d) lists due to metals, suspended solids and in some areas depressed pH. The listed segments and miles degraded are shown in the following table:

The effects of this are still present. Allocations made in the TMDL are both waste load allocations to permitted point sources and load allocations to nonpoint sources of pollution.
