   The following permit applications and requests for Environmental Assessment approval and requests for Water Quality Certification have been received by the Department of Environmental Protection (Department). Section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341(a)), requires the State to certify that the involved projects will not violate the applicable provisions of sections 301--303, 306 and 307 of the FWPCA (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311--1313, 1316 and 1317) as well as relevant State requirements. Initial requests for 401 Water Quality Certification will be published concurrently with the permit application. Persons objecting to approval of a request for certification under section 401 or to the issuance of a Dam Permit or Water Obstruction and Encroachment Permit or the approval of an Environmental Assessment must submit any comments, suggestions or objections within 30 days of the date of this notice as well as any questions to the office noted before the application.

   Comments should contain the name, address and telephone number of the person commenting, identification of the certification request to which the comments or objections are addressed and a concise statement of comments, objections or suggestions including the relevant facts upon which they are based.

WATER QUALITY CERTIFICATION REQUEST

   Erie Western Pennsylvania Port Authority, Raymond P. Schreckengost, Executive Director, 17 West Dobbins Landing, Erie, PA 16507-1424. Discharge of dredged material from the Coal Ore Dock Slip on the City of Erie Bayfront (Erie North, PA N:  2.7 inches; W:  11.3 inches) (42d 08m 23s N; 80d 05m 00s W) into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility, in Erie City, Erie County, ACOE Pittsburgh District, Erie North, PA, Quadrangle N:  4.7 inches; W:  10.3 inches) (42d 09m 04s N; 80d 04m 34s W).

   Project description.  The Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has requested a State certification under section 401 (a) of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U. S.C.A. § 1341(a)) that the discharge of dredged material from the Coal Ore Dock Slip on the City of Erie Bayfront into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (CDF) will comply with the applicable provisions of sections 301--303, 306 and 307 of Federal Clean Water Act.

   This request was necessitated by conditions imposed by the Department's Water Obstruction and Encroachment Permits E25-404A and E25-581 issued to the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority requiring Federal Water Act section 401 certification for the disposal of dredged material into the CDF prior to each dredging and disposal event. The Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority has sampled and tested the sediments in accordance with Attachment A ''Sample Collection and Testing Protocol'' of both Water Obstruction and Encroachments Permits E25-404A and E25-581. Laboratory testing was conducted in accordance with the US Army Corps of Engineer's Inland Testing Manual and the document ''Ecological Evaluation of Proposed Discharge of Dredged or Fill Material in Navigable Waters.'' Based upon this sampling and laboratory testing, the Erie-Western Pennsylvania Port Authority indicates that the approximately 4,300 cubic yards of basin sediments from the Coal Ore Dock Slip on the City of Erie Bayfront (Erie North, PA N:  2.7 inches; W:  11.3 inches) (42d 08m 23s N; 80d 05m 00s W) discharged into the Lake Erie Harbor Confined Disposal Facility (Erie North, PA N:  4.7 inches; W:  10.3 inches) (42d 09m 04s N; 80d 04m 34s W) will have a relatively insignificant impact on the water quality of Lake Erie. This 401 Water Quality Certification is for this single activity. Any subsequent dredging of the Coal Ore Dock Slip on the City of Erie Bayfront and use of the CDF will require separate 401 Water Quality Certification.
