FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL ACT SECTION 401 The 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 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 that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704. The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, PO Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the 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 to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create a right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, the appeal 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.
Actions on applications for the following activities filed under the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P. S. §§ 693.1—693.27), section 302 of the Flood Plain Management Act (32 P. S. § 679.302) and The Clean Streams Law and Notice of Final Action for Certification under section 401 of the FWPCA.

The applicant proposes to backfill an abandoned surface mine, which includes a total of 2,900 linear feet of dangerous highwall (application was published at 3,800 linear feet—project scope was revised since the initial publication). The project will include the backfilling of 0.18 acres of PEM wetlands that have developed within the open surface mine pit.

EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL The following Erosion and Sediment Control permits have been issued.
Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704. The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, PO Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483. TDD users may contact the 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 to the Board at (717) 787-3483. This paragraph does not, in and of itself, create a right of appeal beyond that permitted by applicable statutes and decisional law.
For individuals who wish to challenge an action, the appeal 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.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Categorical Exclusion Northwest Regional Office, Water Supply Management, 230 Chestnut Street, Meadville, PA 16335
Location: Brent Community Cooperative Water Association, Inc., Plaingrove Township, Lawrence County
Description: The Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority, which administers the Commonwealth's State Revolving Fund, is intended to be the funding source for this project. Brent Community Cooperative Water Association, Inc. has applied for the Design and Engineering for repairing/replacing the existing Public Water Supply system in order to comply with the Safe Drinking Water Rules and Regulations.
The Department's review of the project and the information received has not identified any significant, adverse environmental impact resulting from this proposal. The Department hereby categorically excludes this project from the State Environmental Review Process.
Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the Susquehanna River, Unnamed Tributary 07251 Watershed in Lancaster County Pennsylvania
The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the Susquehanna River, Unnamed Tributary 07251 Watershed in Lancaster County, PA. These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included impaired stream segments in this watershed. The listings of these waterbodies were due to use impairments caused by excessive siltation.
There currently are no state or federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment in the Susquehanna River, Unnamed Tributary 07251 Watershed. The sediment loadings were allocated among cropland, hay/pasture land, transitional land and streambank categories present in the watershed. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment loadings for the watershed. Overall load reductions necessary in order to meet the TMDLs are also identified.

Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked by 45 days after publication in the PA Bulletin. A public meeting to discuss the technical merits of the TMDLs will be held upon request.
Request for Comments on the Proposed Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Developed for the West Branch Antietam Creek Watershed in Franklin County Pennsylvania
The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments on the proposed TMDLs developed for the West Branch Antietam Creek Watershed in Franklin County, PA. These TMDLs were established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included impaired stream segments in this watershed. The listings of these waterbodies were due to use impairments caused by excessive siltation and/or nutrients.
There currently are no state or federal instream numerical water quality criteria for siltation or nutrients. Therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria. These proposed TMDLs set allowable loadings of sediment and phosphorus in the West Branch Antietam Creek Watershed. Phosphorus was chosen as the TMDL endpoint for nutrient impairments due to it being the limiting nutrient in the watershed. The sediment and phosphorus loadings were allocated among cropland, hay/pasture land, transitional land and streambank categories present in the watershed. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University.
The following table shows the estimated current sediment and phosphorus loadings for the watershed. Overall load reductions necessary in order to meet the TMDLs are also identified.
