MINING ACTIVITY NPDES DRAFT PERMITS

 This notice provides information about applications for a new, amended or renewed NPDES permits associated with mining activity (coal or noncoal) permits. The applications concern industrial waste (mining) discharges to surface water and discharges of stormwater associated with mining activities. This notice is provided in accordance with 25 Pa. Code Chapters 91 and 92a and 40 CFR Part 122, implementing provisions of The Clean Streams Law (35 P. S. §§ 691.1—691.1001) and the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1376).

 The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has prepared a draft NPDES permit and made a tentative determination to issue the NPDES permit in conjunction with the associated mining activity permit.

Effluent Limits for Coal Mining Activities

 For coal mining activities, NPDES permits, when issued, will contain effluent limits that are the more stringent of technology-based (BAT) effluent limitations or Water Quality Based Effluent Limits (WQBEL).

 The BAT limits for coal mining activities, as provided in 40 CFR Part 434 and 25 Pa. Code Chapters 87—90 are as follows:

30-Day Daily Instantaneous
Parameter Average Maximum Maximum
Iron (Total) 3.0 mg/l 6.0 mg/l 7.0 mg/l
Manganese (Total) 2.0 mg/l 4.0 mg/l 5.0 mg/l
Suspended solids 35 mg/l 70 mg/l 90 mg/l
pH* greater than 6.0; less than 9.0
Alkalinity greater than acidity*
*The parameter is applicable at all times.

 A settleable solids instantaneous maximum limit of 0.5 ml/l applies to: surface runoff (resulting from a precipitation event of less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from active mining areas; active areas disturbed by coal refuse disposal activities; mined areas backfilled and revegetated; and all other discharges and drainage (resulting from a precipitation event of greater than 1-year 24-hour to less than or equal to a 10-year 24-hour event) from coal refuse disposal piles. Similarly, modified BAT limits apply to iron, manganese and suspended solids in surface runoff, discharges and drainage resulting from these precipitation events and those of greater magnitude in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.

 Exceptions to BAT effluent limits may be applicable in accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 87.102, 88.92, 88.187, 88.292, 89.52 and 90.102.

Effluent Limits for Noncoal Mining Activities

 The limits for noncoal mining activities as provided in 25 Pa. Code Chapter 77 are pH 6 to 9 and other parameters the Department may require.

 Discharges from noncoal mines located in some geologic settings (for example, in the coal fields) may require additional water quality based effluent limits. If additional effluent limits are needed for an NPDES permit associated with a noncoal mining permit, then the permit description specifies the parameters.

 In addition to BAT or WQBEL limits, coal and noncoal NPDES permits establish effluent limitations in the form of implemented Best Management Practices (BMPs) identified in the associated Erosion and Sedimentation Plan, the Reclamation Plan and the NPDES permit application. These BMPs restrict the rates and quantities of associated pollutants from being discharged into surface waters in this Commonwealth.

 More restrictive effluent limitations, restrictions on discharge volume or restrictions on the extent of mining that may occur are 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 563-2112-115, Developing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permits for Mining Activities. Other specific factors to be considered include public comments and Total Maximum Daily Load(s). Additional discharge limitations may apply in the event that unexpected discharges occur.

 Discharge rates for surface mining activities are precipitation driven. Discharge rates for proposed discharges associated with underground mining are noted in the permit description.

 Persons wishing to comment on an NPDES draft permit should submit a written statement to the Department at the address of the district mining office indicated before each draft permit 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 § 92a.82(d). The request or petition for a public hearing shall be filed within 30 days of this public notice and contain the name, address, telephone number and the interest of the party filing the request, and 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. When a public hearing is held, the Department will consider comments from the public hearing in the final determination on the NPDES permit application.

EA1109-006. Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Abandoned Mine Reclamation, Cambria Office, 286 Industrial Park Rd., Ebens-burg, PA 15931. Cresson Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) Treatment Plant in Cresson Township, Cambria County, ACOE Baltimore District.

 The applicant proposes to alter existing water courses in order to construct and operate the proposed Cresson AMD Treatment Plant. The following water courses that drain to an unnamed tributary (CWF) locally known as Trap Run of the Clearfield Creek (WWF) are proposed to be filled and relocated: approximately 233 linear feet of an existing stormwater ditch which collects surface and roadway runoff from Cresson Shaft Road (T.R. 441) that drains into approximately 355 linear feet of a first unnamed tributary (CWF), in addition approximately 218 linear feet of a second unnamed tributary (CWF) drains into the first unnamed tributary. This cumulative 806 linear feet (0.065 acre) of relocated water courses will be replaced with the construction of 323 linear feet of piping draining into 360 linear feet of relocated water course draining into the unnamed tributary (CWF) locally known as Trap Run of the Clearfield Creek (WWF). Relocating the watercourses is being proposed for the purpose of constructing and operating the Cresson AMD Treatment Plant having a maximum treatment capacity of approximately 6.3 million gallons per day (MGD) of treated mine water discharging into the locally named Trap Run, which is unnamed tributary (CWF) to Clearfield Creek. The plant will be located adjacent to the northeast border of the Sankertown Borough boundary in Cresson Township along Cresson Shaft Road (T.R. 441). Once the plant is operating at an average design capacity of 4.4 MGD, the following historic heavily polluting AMD discharges will be eliminated: Argyle Stone Bridge discharge, Gallitzin Shaft discharge and the Cresson Mine discharge. Therefore, the 806 linear feet (0.065 acre) of relocated water courses will support the elimination of the three discharges and with the additional 4.4 MGD average discharge of treated mine water, approximately 15 miles of Clearfield Creek (WWF) and six miles of Sugar Run (CWF) will be restored. In all, a total of 21 miles that are currently impaired by AMD will be restored with the cumulative 806 linear feet (0.065 acre) of relocated water courses. (Cresson PA Quadrangle 40° 28` 18.5" N, 78° 35` 7.1" W).
