 The Department has taken the following actions on previously received permit applications, requests for Environmental Assessment approval and requests for Water Quality Certification under section 401 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA) (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341).

 Except as otherwise noted, the Department has granted 401 Water Quality Certification certifying that the construction and operation described will comply with sections 301—303, 306 and 307 of the FWPCA (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311—1313, 1316 and 1317) and that the construction will not violate applicable Federal and State water quality standards.

 Persons aggrieved by an action may appeal that action to the Environmental Hearing Board (Board) under section 4 of the Environmental Hearing Board Act and 2 Pa.C.S. §§ 501—508 and 701—704. The appeal should be sent to the Environmental Hearing Board, Second Floor, Rachel Carson State Office Building, 400 Market Street, PO Box 8457, Harrisburg, PA 17105-8457, (717) 787-3483.

Laurel Run is classified as a Cold Water Fishery by Title 25, Chapter 93 Water Quality Standards. This permit also includes 401 Water Quality Certification.

E49-335. SEDO-COG Joint Rail Authority, 201 Furnace Road, Lewisburg, PA 17837. Stream and Bridge 14.93 Rehabilitation, in Ralpho and Shamokin Townships, Northumberland County, ACOE Baltimore District (Shamokin, PA Quadrangle Latitude: 40°49`38.8"; Longitude: 76°35`6.5").

 To construct, operate, maintain and rehabilitate the Shamokin Valley Railroad Bridge 14.93 by replacing the existing north abutment and eliminating a scour hole threatening the foundation of the abutment with the placement of R-8 riprap.

This permit also authorizes the construction of one rock cross vane, two ''J'' hook vanes placed upstream of the structure, 270 lineal feet of rock revetment will be installed for upstream of the structure along the left bank and 325 linear feet of R-8 riprap along the right bank upstream of the bridge structure. This project is located 3.3 miles north on SR 0061 out of Shamokin. This project impacts 692 linear feet of the Shamokin Creek, which is, designated a Warm Water Fishery and does not impact any wetlands (Shamokin, PA Quadrangle Latitude 40°49`38.8"; Longitude 76°35`6.5") Ralpho and Shamokin Townships, Northumberland County. This permit also includes 401 Water Quality Certification.

E57-131. Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Engineering District 3-0, PO Box 218 Montoursville, PA 17754-0218. S.R. 4008 Section 019, Unnamed Tributary to Elk Creek Bridge Replacement, Elkland Township, Sullivan County, ACOE Baltimore District (Shunk, PA Quadrangle N: 41° 33` 08" W: -76° 39` 03").

 PA DOT Engineering District 3-0 proposes to replace a single span reinforced concrete slab bridge with a single cell precast concrete box culvert. The existing bridge has a span of 9.50 Ft., a skew of 58 degrees, an underclearance of 6.33 Ft., a low chord of 1,408.203 Ft. and a hydraulic opening of 48.3 Ft2. The proposed box culvert has a span of 18 Ft., a skew of 90 degrees, an underclearance of 5.0 Ft., a low chord of 1,408.38 Ft. and a hydraulic opening of 90 Ft2. The increase in roadway width is beyond the criteria for the General Permit 11. The project will also include R-8 Rip Rap protection on the right and left upstream and downstream banks. The total stream impact from the proposed box culvert and the stream bank protection will be approximately 210 Ft. The project will not impact any jurisdictional wetlands and does not require mitigation. The Unnamed Tributary to Elk Creek is classified as an Exceptional Value Stream (Also Wild Trout) by Title 25, Chapter 93 Water Quality Standards. The project will not require mitigation. This permit also includes 401 Water Quality Certification.

All storage and treatment operations take place within the enclosed building.
