NOTICES

Federal Consistency under the Coastal Zone Management Act; Dredging Permit Extension at Lake Erie

[46 Pa.B. 5957]
[Saturday, September 17, 2016]

 This notice is published under section 306(d)(14) of the Federal Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972 (16 U.S.C.A. § 1455(d)(14)), regarding public participation during consistency determinations. The Department of Environmental Protection (Department), Coastal Resources Management Program (CRMP) has received notice that the Erie Sand and Gravel Company is requesting authorization from the United States Army Corps of Engineers to extend their existing dredging permit within Lake Erie for 10 years.

 The applicant is proposing to hydraulically dredge approximately 300,000 cubic yards of sand and gravel annually for commercial purposes from a designated 19.6 square mile area within Lake Erie. The recovered material would be screened onsite and water and fine sediments would be returned to the lake within the dredged area.

 This project is subject to Department review for Federal consistency because it is a Federal license and permit activity and will have reasonably foreseeable effects on the Commonwealth's coastal resources or uses.

 In accordance with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) regulations in 15 CFR Part 930, Subpart D (relating to consistency for activities requiring a Federal license or permit), the applicant has certified that the proposed activity will be conducted in a manner consistent with the applicable enforceable policies of the Commonwealth's NOAA-approved CRMP. Interested parties may request a copy of the Federal Consistency Certification from the Department contact listed as follows.

 Questions regarding this review should be directed to Matthew Walderon, Federal Consistency Coordinator, (717) 772-2196 or RA-Fed_Consistency@pa.gov.

 The Department will consider all comments received on or before October 3, 2016, before issuing a final Federal consistency concurrence or objection. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted. Comments, including comments submitted by e-mail, must include the originator's name and address. Commentators are urged to submit comments using the Department's online eComment system at www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/eComment. Written comments should be submitted by e-mail to ecomments@pa.gov or by mail to the Department of Environmental Protection, Compacts and Commissions Office, 400 Market Street, P.O. Box 8465, Harrisburg, PA 17101-8465.
