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.

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.

Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily
Load (TMDL) for the Watershed of Williams RunThe Department of Environmental Protection (Department) will accept comments on the proposed TMDL developed for the watershed of Williams Run in Cambria County. The TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of The Clean Water Act. Streams within this Watershed are listed in Pennsylvania's Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report as being impaired due to siltation resulting from agricultural activities.
Impairments were addressed by establishing a TMDL of sediment. There currently are no State or Federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for sediment. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference Watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. The proposed TMDL sets allowable loadings of sediment in the watershed of Williams Run. Sediment loadings were allocated among all land use categories (nonpoint sources) present in the watershed. Data used in establishing this TMDL were generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDL are available from the Department. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's web site at www.dep.state.pa.us (PA Keyword: TMDL). To request a copy of this TMDL, contact: Joe Boylan at joboylan@state.pa.us, or by mail at 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222.
The Department will consider all comments when developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to Environmental Protection Agency for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be received by September 30, 2009.
