LAND RECYCLING AND ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION
UNDER ACT 2, 1995
PREAMBLE 3
The Department has taken action on the following plans and reports under the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.907).
Section 250.8 of 25 Pa. Code and administration of the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (act) require the Department to publish in the Pennyslvania Bulletin a notice of its final actions on plans and reports. A final report is submitted to document cleanup of a release of a regulated substance at a site to one of the remediation standards of the act. A final report provides a description of the site investigation to characterize the nature and extent of contaminants in environmental media, the basis of selecting the environmental media of concern, documentation supporting the selection of residential or nonresidential exposure factors, a description of the remediation performed and summaries of sampling methodology and analytical results which demonstrate that the remediation has attained the cleanup standard selected. Plans and reports required by the act for compliance with selection of remediation to a site-specific standard, in addition to a final report, include a remedial investigation report, risk assessment report and cleanup plan. A remedial investigation report includes conclusions from the site investigation; concentration of regulated substances in environmental media; benefits of reuse of the property; and, in some circumstances, a fate and transport analysis. If required, a risk assessment report describes potential adverse effects caused by the presence of regulated substances. If required, a cleanup plan evaluates the abilities of potential remedies to achieve remedy requirements. A work plan for conducting a baseline remedial investigation is required by the act for compliance with selection of a special industrial area remediation. The baseline remedial investigation, based on the work plan, is compiled into the baseline environmental report to establish a reference point to show existing contamination, describe proposed remediation to be done and include a description of existing or potential public benefits of the use or reuse of the property. The Department may approve or disapprove plans and reports submitted. This notice provides the Department's decision and, if relevant, the basis for disapproval.
For further information concerning the plans and reports, contact the environmental cleanup program manager in the Department regional office under which the notice of the plan or report appears. If information concerning a final report is required in an alternative form, contact the community relations coordinator at the appropriate regional office. TDD users may telephone the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.

SPECIAL NOTICES
Proposed State Water Quality Certification Required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act for the Northeast Supply Enhancement Project Southcentral Region: Waterways and Wetlands Program Manager, 909 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110.
DEP File No.: WQ03-001. Transcontinental Gas Pipeline, LLC Inc. (''Transco'' or ''Applicant''), 2800 Post Oak Boulevard (77056), P.O. Box 1396, Houston, Texas, 77251-1396. Northeast Supply Enhancement Project, Eden, Drumore and East Drumore Townships, Lancaster County and East Whiteland Township, Chester County (Holtwood, Wakefield and Quarryville, PA Quadrangles, Lat: 39° 51` 43"; Long: -76° 11` 58").
On March 27, 2017, Transco filed an application with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) under Section 7 of the Natural Gas Act (15 U.S.C.A. § 717f) seeking a certificate of public convenience and necessity to construct and operate its Northeast Supply Enhancement Project (FERC Docket No. CP-17-100).
On June 16, 2017, Transco requested a State water quality certification from the Department of Environmental Protection (Department), as required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341), to ensure that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Northeast Supply Enhancement Project will protect water quality in Pennsylvania through compliance with State water quality standards and associated State law requirements, which are consistent with the requirements of the Clean Water Act.
The proposed project consists of the installation of approximately 10.17 miles of new 42.0-inch diameter natural gas pipeline which will begin at milepost 1681 on Transco's existing Mainline pipeline and will cross 11 streams and 11 wetlands. Four permanent access roads, cathodic protection near milepost 1684.21 and the addition of one 21,902 horsepower motor-driven compressor at the existing Compressor Station 200 are also proposed. The pipeline is being proposed to provide 400,000 Dekatherms per day of incremental capacity to National Grid at Transco's existing Rockaway Delivery Point in Queens Borough, New York.

Proposed State Water Quality Certification Required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act for the Equitrans, L.P. H-150 Bare Pipe Replacement Project Southwest Region: Waterways & Wetlands Program, 400 Waterfront Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, Dana Drake, 412-442-4000.
WQ05-015, Equitrans, L.P. (Applicant), 625 Liberty Avenue, Suite 1700, Pittsburgh, PA 15222-3114. H-150 Bare Pipe Replacement Project (Project), in Center and Franklin Townships, Greene County, in the ACOE Pittsburgh District. The Project starts approximately 0.5 mile southeast of Rogersville, PA, Center Township, Greene County (Rogersville, PA Quadrangle Latitude: 39.877139`; Longitude: -80.267023`) and ends at the Orn- dorff Interconnect, approximately 0.1 mile south of the intersection of Smith Creek Road and Kirby Road, Franklin Township, Greene County (Oak Forest, PA Quadrangle Latitude: 39.828867`; Longitude: -80.206432`).
On January 30, 1988, Equitrans, L.P. received an Order Issuing Certificate from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) authorizing Equitrans to abandon, construct and operate certain facilities as part of the H-150 Pipeline Project in Greene County, Pennsylvania (FERC Docket No. CP89-676). The activities described in this request are covered under Equitrans' automatic blanket certificate authority and reported on yearly.
On July 13, 2017, Applicant requested a State water quality certification from the Department, as required by Section 401 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341), to ensure that the construction, operation and maintenance of the Project will protect water quality in Pennsylvania through compliance with State water quality standards and associated State law requirements, which are consistent with the requirements of the Clean Water Act.
To allow for the modernization of the H-150 pipeline for integrity assessment through the use of in-line inspection, Equitrans proposes to replace approximately 5 miles of 12-inch diameter bare natural gas pipe with coated, 12-inch diameter natural gas pipe within the existing right-of-way. The Project is part of Equitrans' compliance program and is required to maintain the integrity of the operating system. The use of lift and lay construction for this project means that the replacement pipeline will be located in the same trench as the existing line. The existing 12-inch pipeline will be taken out of service, purged, and removed. The new pipeline will utilize the same permanent right-of-way as the existing line during construction; there are no deviations anticipated. This Project includes one cathodic protection ground bed that will be installed along the proposed pipeline. The project will utilize traditional open cut or conventional bore construction techniques for all twenty-three stream and wetland crossing locations. The twenty-three stream and wetland crossings occur within the following receiving waters: South Fork Tenmile Creek, Woods Run, Pursley Creek, Stewart Run, Smith Creek.
There are eight temporary access roads planned for the Project. Four of the proposed temporary access roads will utilize existing unpaved roads or driveways; one will require an extension. The remaining four proposed temporary access roads will be constructed to support this project and returned to preexisting conditions upon completion. The pipeline will be installed using a typical 100-foot wide limit of disturbance (LOD) for pipeline construction with areas of temporary work space adjacent to the LOD, and a typical 40-foot LOD for the access roads to allow access to the pipeline corridor. The construction ROW will be reduced to a 50-foot-width at streams and wetlands. The permanent ROW width will be 50 feet centered on the pipeline. There is no anticipated permanent increase in impervious area or in stormwater runoff due to the construction of the pipeline.
The Project, as proposed, includes the replacement of an approximately 5 mile long section of 12-inch pipeline for the purpose of transporting natural gas from a compressor station, located approximately 0.5 mile southeast of Rogersville, PA, Center Township, Greene County to the Orndorff Interconnect, approximately 0.1 mile south of the intersection of Smith Creek Road and Kirby Road, Franklin Township, Greene County. The Project, as proposed, will require approximately 72 acres of earth disturbance, and impacts to 520 linear feet of Unnamed Tributaries of South Fork of Ten Mile Creek (HQ-WWF), Unnamed Tributaries to Woods Run (HQ-WWF), Woods Run (HQ-WWF), Pursley Creek (HQ-WWF), Unnamed Tributary of Pursley Creek (HQ-WWF), and Unnamed Tributary of Stewart Run (HQ-WWF), 1.33 acre of floodway, 2.01 acres of temporary PEM wetland impacts, and 0.04 acre of PEM permanent impacts.
