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 Pennsylvania 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.

The project will result in 8,914 square feet (0.20 acre) of permanent PEM wetland impacts for the purpose of installing a natural gas compressor station and associated infrastructure for Marcellus shale development.

This project consists of 0.48 acre of tree clearing and 0.42 acre of grading for pad and access road. The purpose of this temporary disturbance is to plug an existing well (W-1203) before the long wall of mining operation reaches the area. Part of the temporary disturbance involves impact to 0.087 acre of a PEM/PFO wetland (W-1). Impacted/excavated wetlands will be stockpiled separately from upland top soils. Proper measures to reduce impacts to the wetland will be implemented in accordance with § 105 as shown on the project plans. After well is plugged all disturbed areas will be restored to existing grade and conditions. PEM wetland (W-1) area will be restored to existing conditions with the following measures: 1. Stockpiled wetland soil shall be used to restore the area along with use of an endemic, weed free wetland seed mix to supplement natural vegetation; 2. Any compressed wetland soil will be scarified and supplemented with an endemic, weed free wetland seed mix to encourage natural vegetation. To offset the impacts of deforesting 0.032 acre of a PFO wetland, the applicant is proposing to restore this area with tree and shrub plantings.
SPECIAL NOTICES
Request for Comments on the Proposed Revision to the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Developed for Parts of the Crooked Creek Watershed, Armstrong and Indiana Counties The Department of Environmental Protection will accept comments as of January 24, 2015 for the proposed revision to the TMDL developed in 2009 for the portion of the Crooked Creek watershed affected by siltation. This TMDL was established in accordance with the requirements of Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. The 2012 Pennsylvania Integrated Water Quality Monitoring and Assessment Report included aquatic life use impaired stream segments in this watershed caused by siltation from abandoned mine lands and agricultural activities.
There are currently no state or federal in-stream numerical water quality criteria for sediment; therefore, the Department utilized a reference watershed approach to implement the applicable narrative criteria for sediment by comparing reference and impaired watersheds loading of annual siltation.
This proposed TMDL sets allowable loadings within the specifically impaired stream segments of the portion of the Crooked Creek watershed. The loading was allocated among the land uses of abandoned coal mines, cropland, hay/pasture land, associated transitional/disturbed land, and stream bank present in the watershed. Data used in establishing these TMDLs was generated using a water quality analysis model (AVGWLF) designed by the Pennsylvania State University. The following table shows the estimated current loadings for the watershed. Overall load reductions necessary in order to meet the TMDLs are also identified.

The Department will consider all comments in developing the final TMDLs, which will be submitted to EPA for approval. Written comments will be accepted at the above address and must be postmarked by 30 days, after publication in the PA Bulletin.
