FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT SECTION 401

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has taken the following actions on previously received permit applications, requests for Environmental Assessment approval and requests for Water Quality Certification under section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341).

   Except as otherwise noted, the Department has granted 401 Water Quality Certification certifying that the construction and operation described will comply with the applicable provisions of sections 301--303, 306 and 307 of the FWPCA (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311--1313, 1316 and 1317) and that the construction will not violate applicable Federal and State water quality standards.

   Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal, under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act (35 P. S. § 7514) and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501--508 and 701--704 (relating to the Administrative Agency Law), to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users should contact the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) through the Pennsylvania Relay Service, (800) 654-5984. Appeals must be filed with the Board within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, unless the appropriate statute provides a different time period. Copies of the appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure may be obtained from the Board. The appeal form and the Board's rules of practice and procedure are also available in Braille or on audiotape from the Secretary of the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create any right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decision law.

   For individuals who wish to challenge an action, appeals must reach the Board within 30 days. A lawyer is not needed to file an appeal with the Board.

   Important legal rights are at stake, however, so individuals should show this notice to a lawyer at once. Persons who cannot afford a lawyer may qualify for free pro bono representation. Call the Secretary to the Board at (717) 787-3483 for more information.

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 section 902 of the Municipal Waste Planning, Recycling and Waste Reduction Act (act) (53 P. S. § 4000.902).

   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 Financially Distressed Municipalities Act (53 P. S. § 11701.101 et seq.) are eligible to receive funding for an additional 10% of approved costs. All grant awards are predicated on the receipt of recycling fees required by sections 701 and 702 of the act (53 P. S. §§ 4000.701 and 4000.702) 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.

Public Meeting and Request for Comment for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the Kettle Creek Watershed in Clinton and Potter Counties

   The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission will hold a public meeting to discuss and accept comments on a proposed TMDL for the Kettle Creek Watershed in Clinton and Potter Counties. The meeting will be held on March 15, 2005, at 7 p.m. at the Leidy Township Municipal Building, 7214 Kettle Creek Road, Renovo, PA. Individuals who plan to make a presentation at the public meeting should contact Lee McDonnell, Department of Environmental Protection, Water Quality Assessment and Standards, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8467, Harrisburg, PA 17105, (717) 787-9637 by 4 p.m on Thursday, March 10, 2005. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL for the Kettle Creek Watershed, which will be submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency for approval.

   The proposed TMDL for the Kettle Creek Watershed was established in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Water Act, Section 303(d). One stream segment in the Kettle Creek Watershed has been identified as impaired on the 1996 Pennsylvania Section 303(d) list due to depressed pH and/or high concentrations of metals. The listed segment and miles degraded are shown in the following table:

Stream Code	Stream Name	Miles Degraded
23661	Kettle Creek	3.0

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

Parameter	Criterion value (mg/l)	Total Recoverable/ Dissolved
Aluminum	0.75	Total Recoverable
Iron	1.5	Total Recoverable
Manganese	1.00	Total Recoverable
PH	6.0--9.0	NA

   The primary pollutant source for the watershed is abandoned mine workings. This watershed was mined for coal in the 1900s. The effects of this are still present.

   The proposed 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 data set 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 proposed TMDL. The proposed TMDL for the Kettle Creek Watershed sets allowable loading rates for metals and acidity at specified points in the watershed. Field data collected over the past 2 years was used to establish the proposed TMDL for the Kettle Creek Watershed. The data and all supporting information used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department.

   The Department will accept written comments on the proposed TMDL for the Kettle Creek Watershed. Comments must be postmarked by May 4, 2005, and sent to Lee McDonnell, Department of Environmental Protection, Water Quality Assessment and Standards, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8467, Harrisburg, PA 17105, (717) 787-9637, lmcdonnell@state.pa.us.

   To request a copy of the proposed TMDL and associated information sheet or to obtain directions to the Leidy Township Municipal Building in Renovo, PA, contact Lee McDonnell at the phone number or e-mail address indicated previously.

   The proposed TMDL for the Kettle Creek Watershed can be accessed through the Department's website: www.dep.state.pa.us (DEP Keyword: TMDL). Persons with a disability who require accommodations to attend this meeting should contact the Department at (814) 472-1900 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD users) or (800) 654-5988 (voice users) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
