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.

The existing bridge has a span of 31.25 Ft., a skew of 73 degrees, an underclearance of 5.45 Ft. and a low chord of 1,125.19 Ft. and a hydraulic opening of 168.86 Ft2. The proposed bridge has a span of 70 Ft., a skew of 72 degrees, an underclearance of 7.38 Ft. and a low chord of 1,128.12 Ft. and a hydraulic opening of 516.94 Ft2. Approximately (50) fifty feet of gravel bar will be removed at the structures inlet to create a stable stream section. The project will temporarily impact 0.01 acre and permanently impact 0.03 acre of jurisdictional wetlands. The wetland impact is considered Deminimus and does not require mitigation. Camp Brook is classified as a Warm Water Fishery by Title 25, Chapter 93 Water Quality Standards. This project does not require mitigation. This permit also includes 401 Water Quality Certification.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Draft Hazardous Permit; Notice of Intent to Issue a Hazardous Waste Permit The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue to Safety-Kleen Systems, Inc. (Safety-Kleen) a Solid Waste Management Act Permit. This permit is a renewal of the permit to operate a Hazardous Waste storage facility in Hanover Township, Luzerne County. The renewed permit will allow the existing Facility to remain in operation for another ten (10) years. This permit does not authorize any processing, treatment, or disposal of waste at this facility. The existing HW Storage Facility receives and temporarily stores approved hazardous and residual (non-hazardous) wastes prior to off-site disposal or other disposition at a permitted facility. Part of Safety-Kleen's operation involves the renting out of ''parts washing equipment'' for off-site usage, then returning the used solvents to Safety-Kleen for shipment to off-site recycling or disposal facilities. The wastes are stored inside secondary containment either within an approved aboveground storage tank, or within the original containers or shipping containers such as DOT-approved 55 gallon sized drums. The facility also has a ''drum washing system'' on site.
The public will be given forty-five (45) days to comment on the draft permit, issued December 12, 2014 and prepared under the Solid Waste Management Act. The comment period will begin on December 12, 2014 and will end on January 26, 2015. Any person interested in commenting on the application or draft permit must do so within this comment period. An information repository has been established at the Safety-Kleen facility. To schedule an appointment to view the draft permit and related information at Safety-Kleen, contact Greg Chiappini at 814-786-7540. In addition, copies of the application, draft permit and fact sheet for the Hazardous Waste Facility may be reviewed at the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Northeast Regional Office at 2 Public Square, Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701-1915. Please contact Tracey L. McGurk at 570-826-2511 for further information. A copy of the draft permit will be provided to Hanover Township and Luzerne County who may also make the draft permit available for review.
All persons wishing to comment on any of the permit conditions or permit application should submit the comments in writing to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), Waste Management Program, 2 Public Square, and Wilkes-Barre, PA 18701-1915; Attention Roger Bellas, Regional Solid Waste Manager. Comments should include all reasonably available references, factual grounds and supporting materials.
When making a determination regarding the issuance of a hazardous waste permit to Safety-Kleen the Department of Environmental Protection will consider all written comments received during the comment period, the requirements of the hazardous waste regulations of 25 Pa. Code Chapters 260—270, and the Department of Environmental Protection's permitting policies.
