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); The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001); the Coal Refuse Disposal Act (52 P. S. §§ 30.51—30.66); The Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P. S. §§ 1406.1—1406.21). Mining activity permits issued in response to such 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 above 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 the certification.
Written comments or objections, or requests for an informal conference, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application 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 address of the district mining office indicated above each application 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.
Written comments or objections related to a mining permit application 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, or a public hearing, as applicable, on a mining permit application, as provided by 25 Pa. Code §§ 77.123 or 86.34, must contain the name, address and telephone number of the requestor; the 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.
When a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) number is listed, the mining activity permit application was accompanied by an application for an individual NPDES permit. The Department has made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the mining activity permit, but the issuance of the NPDES permit is contingent upon the approval of the associated mining activity permit.
For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that do not exceed the technology-based effluent limitations. The proposed limits are listed in Table 1.
For noncoal mining activities, the proposed limits are found in Table 2. Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description below specifies the parameters. The limits will be in the ranges specified in Table 1.
More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume, or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur, will be incorporated into an NPDES permit when necessary for compliance with water quality standards and antidegradation requirements (in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91—96).
The procedures for determining the final effluent limits, using a mass-balance equation or model, are found in Technical Guidance Document 362-0600-001, NPDES Program Implementation—Memorandum of Understanding Concerning Water Quality Management, NPDES Program Implementation and Related Matters. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).
Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES permit application should submit a statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated previously each application within 30 days of this public notice. Comments received within the comment period will be considered in the final determinations regarding the NPDES permit applications. Comments must include the name, address and telephone number of the writer and a concise statement to inform the Department of the exact basis of a comment and the relevant facts upon which it is based.
The Department will also accept requests or petitions for a public hearing on NPDES permit applications, as provided in 25 Pa. Code § 92.61. The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and shall contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and shall state the reasons why a hearing is warranted. A public hearing may be held if the Department considers the public interest significant. If a hearing is scheduled, a notice of the hearing on the NPDES permit application will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and a newspaper of general circulation within the relevant geographical area. In the case where a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

E18-450. Department of Transportation, Engineering District 2-0, 1924 Daisy Street Extension, Clearfield, PA 16830. SR 2012, Section A03, Bridge Replacement, Wayne Township, Clinton County, ACOE Baltimore District (Jersey Shore, PA Quadrangle Latitude: 40° 09` 07"; Longitude: 77° 18` 01").
The DOT SR 2012, Section A03, Segment 0220, Offset 1148, Bridge Replacement Project is located over Love Run in Wayne Township, Clinton County and will include the replacement of the existing steel I-beam timber and asphalt deck bridge with a single span concrete box culvert. The existing bridge has a width of 31.1 feet measured along the centerline of Love Run, a normal span 11.5 feet between the abutments, and an underclearance of 6.5 feet. The proposed box culvert will have a normal span of 53 feet, has a width of 12 feet measured along the center line of Love Run, and an underclearance of 8.5 feet. The installation of the proposed larger structure will result in a permanent increase of one half of a linear foot of increased span over Love Run. The existing structure is open bottom. Because the box culvert has a concrete bottom the total permanent stream impact from the structure installation will be 53 feet. There will be 14 feet of concrete end section on the downstream end, and 11.6 feet of concrete end sections on the upstream end. There will also be five feet of rock rip-rap placed on the upstream and downstream end of the box culvert as scour protection. Total stream impacts equal 88.6 linear feet. Traffic will be detoured for the duration of construction. Flow will be maintained during construction by the installation of a diversion dike system and diverted under the temporary runaround. Clean water from Love Run will be diverted around the work area. Love Run is classified as a High Quality-Cold Water Fishes (HQ-CWF). The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) lists Love Run as a stream that supports natural trout reproduction (wild trout), as well as Class A from its headwaters to mouth, but does not list it as an approved trout water (stocking). There are no anticipated environmental impacts on other adjacent land and water resources with this project nor are there any anticipated cumulative environmental impacts. There is one wetland system located within the project area. No impacts to this wetland system are anticipated as a result of this bridge replacement project.
