E02-1617. Township of Upper St. Clair, 1820 McLaughlin Run Road, Upper St. Clair, PA 15241.

 To relocate the stream flows in Upper St. Clair Township, Allegheny County, Pittsburgh ACOE District (Bridgeville, PA Quadrangle N: 15.3 inches; W: 14.0 inches, Latitude: 40° 20` 03"; Longitude: 80° 06` 02").

 1. To relocate the stream flows from an approximately 840 linear feet reach of an existing, unnamed tributary to Chartiers Creek (WWF), referred to as Channel S1, by constructing approximately 739 linear feet of new watercourse and by reconstructing approximately 250-ft of another unnamed tributary, referred to as Channel EPH1, for the purpose of relocating the stream flow around an historic dump site and eliminating sediment pollution from an existing, unstable, eroding reach of Channel S1;

 2. to construct and maintain a temporary road crossing in Channel S1, to facilitate the construction of the relocated reach of watercourse;

 3. to construct and maintain step pools, a boulder cascade and a rock-formed scour pool in the new and/or reconstructed channel reach;

 4. to construct and maintain a channel block, to divert stream flows into the new channel reach;

 5. to construct and maintain an outfall channel to the relocated reach of Channel S1, along with riparian plantings;

 6. to install a 30` long by 6` wide fiberglass pedestrian bridge over the relocated reach of watercourse;

 7. and to place and maintain fill in approximately 630` of the abandoned reach of Channel S1 and to operate and maintain an existing 22` long, 36" diameter RCP culvert in the remaining, abandoned reach of Channel S1.

 The project is located within the Township of Upper St. Clair's Boyce Mayview Park (formerly the Mayview State Hospital Grounds), approximately 1,600.0 feet upstream from the confluence of the unnamed tributary with Chartiers Creek. The construction/reconstruction of approximately 989-ft of watercourse will mitigate for the impacts to approximately 1,090-ft of existing watercourse.

Request for Comments and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the East Branch Fishing Creek Watershed

 The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) and the Susquehanna River Basin Commission are holding a public meeting on June 24, 2010, at 6 p.m., at the Sugarloaf Township building at 90 Schoolhouse Road, Benton, PA 17814. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss and accept comments on the proposed TMDL developed for the East Branch Fishing Creek Watershed. In accordance with the requirements of section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act, stream segments in the East Branch Fishing Creek Watershed have been identified as impaired due to high levels of metals and low pH, as a result of atmospheric deposition.

 The proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings to meet water quality standards at specified points in East Branch Fishing Creek for aluminum and acidity. Loads have been allocated to nonpoint sources. The TMDLs were established using field data collected in 2009.

 The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's web site www.dep.state.pa.us/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/. To request a copy of any of the TMDLs, contact Bill Brown, Department of Environmental Protection, Water Quality Assessment and Standards, 400 Market Street, P. O. Box 8467, Harrisburg, PA 17105, (717) 783-2951.

 Written comments will be accepted at the previous address and must be postmarked no later than July 5, 2010. The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDL, which will be submitted to the United States Environmental Protection Agency for approval.

Request for Comments and Notice of Public Meeting for the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the Johnson Creek

 The proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings to meet water quality standards at specified points in Johnson Creek for sediment. Loads have been allocated to nonpoint sources. The TMDLs were established using ArcView Generalized Watershed Loading Function (AVGWLF), a Department-approved method.

 The data and all supporting documentation used to develop the proposed TMDLs are available from the Department. The proposed TMDL and information on the TMDL program can be viewed on the Department's web site www.dep.state.pa.us/watermanagement_apps/tmdl/.
