Proposed Conditional State Water Quality Certification under Section 401 of the Clean Water Act for the United States Army Corps of Engineers Pennsylvania State Programmatic General Permit 6 (PASPGP-6)
[50 Pa.B. 6961]
[Saturday, December 5, 2020]

 On September 4, 2020, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Baltimore, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh Districts, under the authority of section 404(e) of the Clean Water Act (act) (33 U.S.C.A. § 1344(e)), issued jointly by Special Public Notice 20-57 the proposed Pennsylvania State Programmatic General Permit-6 (PASPGP-6) for a 30-day public comment period which closed on October 4, 2020. On November 6, 2020, the Corps' Baltimore District requested State Water Quality Certification (SWQC) on behalf of the Corps' Baltimore, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh Districts under section 401 of the act (33 U.S.C.A § 1341) from the Department of Environmental Protection (Department) for discharges of dredged and fill material into waters of this Commonwealth that would be authorized under PASPGP-6. Section 401(a) of the act (33 U.S.C.A. § 1341(a)), requires an applicant seeking coverage under PASPGP-6 to provide the Corps with certification from the Commonwealth that the applicant's discharge will comply with the applicable provisions of the act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1251—1388). The Department has established water quality standards for this Commonwealth and programs to achieve those standards consistent with the applicable provisions of the act, which have been approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The Department is providing notice of its proposed conditional SWQC for use by applicants seeking coverage under PASPGP-6 for projects that do not require any Federal permit or license other than a section 404 permit under the act.

 PASPGP-6 continues the Corps' recognition of the Commonwealth's permitting process for activities affecting waterways, water bodies and wetlands authorized under the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P.S. §§ 693.1—693.27). PASPGP-6 allows applicants to obtain both Corps section 404 permits and State water obstruction and encroachment permits through a joint application submitted to the Department and delegated conservation districts for most projects requiring these permits in this Commonwealth. Through the incorporation of Federal and State permitting standards in one process, PASPGP-6 continues a streamlined process for permit applicants without compromising comprehensive environmental protection. This proposed SWQC applies to activities that qualify for PASPGP-6 within the jurisdiction of section 404 of the act and structures or work in or affecting navigable waters of the United States under section 10 of the River and Harbor Act of 1899 (33 U.S.C.A. § 403).

 Consistent with section 401 of the act, the Department proposes to certify that activities authorized by the Corps under the PASPGP-6 will comply with the applicable provisions of sections 301—303, 306 and 307 of the act (33 U.S.C.A. §§ 1311—1313, 1316 and 1317). The Department further proposes to certify that the construction, operation and maintenance of the projects in accordance with PASPGP-6 will comply with the Commonwealth's water quality standards provided the project applicant complies with the following SWQC conditions and constructs, operates and maintains the project in compliance with the terms and conditions of State permits obtained to meet these SWQC conditions:

 1. Prior to beginning any activity authorized by the Corps under PASPGP-6, the applicant shall obtain from the Department all necessary environmental permits or approvals, and submit to the Department environmental assessments and other information necessary to obtain the permits and approvals, as required under State law, including The Clean Streams Law (35 P.S. §§ 691.1—691.1001), the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act (32 P.S. §§ 693.1—693.27), the Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P.S. §§ 1396.1—1396.19b), the Noncoal Surface Mining Conservation and Reclamation Act (52 P.S. §§ 3301—3326), the Bituminous Mine Subsidence and Land Conservation Act (52 P.S. §§ 1406.1—1406.21), the Coal Refuse Disposal Control Act (52 P.S. §§ 30.51—30.66), the Solid Waste Management Act (35 P.S. §§ 6018.101—6018.1003), the Hazardous Sites Cleanup Act (35 P.S. §§ 6020.101—6020.1305), the Land Recycling and Environmental Remediation Standards Act (35 P.S. §§ 6026.101—6026.908), 58 Pa.C.S. §§ 3201—3274 (related to development), the Air Pollution Control Act (35 P.S. §§ 4001—4015) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, including 25 Pa. Code Chapters 77, 78, 78a, 86—91, 92a, 93, 95, 96, 102, 105, 127 and 260a—299.

 2. All environmental assessments required under these regulations, in addition to other regulatory requirements, must be complied with as a condition of the SWQC for PASPGP-6 consistent with section 401 of the act.

 3. Fill material may not contain any wastes as defined in the Solid Waste Management Act.

 4. Applicants and projects eligible for the PASPGP-6 must obtain all State permits or approvals, or both, necessary to ensure that the project meets the State's applicable water quality standards, including a project specific SWQC.

 The Department has determined these proposed SWQC conditions are necessary to achieve the Commonwealth's water quality standards, which have been approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as compliant with the act. The proposed SWQC conditions achieve these standards through compliance with existing environmental programs administered by the Department under State laws and regulations.

 This proposed SWQC would be subject to the Department's determination that the final PASPGP-6 activities are consistent with the Coastal Zone Management Act (16 U.S.C.A. §§ 1451—1466).

 This proposed SWQC would only be available for projects that do not require any Federal authorization other than authorization from the Corps under section 404 of the act or section 10 of the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899. Applicants seeking authorization for activities not eligible for coverage under PASPGP-6, or for activities that require another Federal authorization (such as an interstate natural gas pipeline, a gas storage field or a nuclear or hydroelectric project requiring authorization by another Federal agency), must submit a request to the Department for a project-specific SWQC.

 The Department will consider all comments received on or before Monday, January 4, 2021, before taking the final action on this proposed conditional SWQC. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted. All comments, including comments submitted by e-mail, must include the commentator's name and address. Commentators are encouraged to submit comments using the Department's online eComment tool at www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/eComment or by e-mail to ecomment@pa.gov. Written comments can be mailed to the Department of Environmental Protection, Policy Office, Rachel Carson State Office Building, P.O. Box 2063, Harrisburg, PA 17105-2063. Use ''PASPGP-6'' as the subject line in written communication.

 The proposed PASPGP-6 and Special Public Notice 20-57 can be viewed on the Corps' webpage at www.nab.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory/Public-Notices/Public-Notice-View/Article/2336799/spn-20-57-pennsylvania-state-programmatic-general-permit-6-paspgp-6.

Public Notice

U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers
Special Public Notice SPN 20-57    Permit               Date: September 4, 2020 to October 4, 2020
Baltimore District                         Philadelphia District                     Pittsburgh District
The purpose of this 30-day Public Notice is to request comments on whether to issue, for a five year period, the Pennsylvania State Programmatic General Permit 6 (PASPGP-6).   Comments are requested by October 4, 2020.

This Public Notice is issued jointly by the Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh Districts of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

On July 1, 2016 the District Engineers for Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh Districts, issued the Pennsylvania State Programmatic General Permit - 5 (PASPGP-5) for a five year period.  The PASPGP-5 will expire on June 30, 2021, unless a decision is made to suspend, or revoke the permit before that date.

The list below provides some of the proposed changes from PASPGP-5 to PASPGP-6.  The proposed PASPGP-6 can be viewed on our web page at:

https://www.nab.usace.army.mil/Missions/Regulatory/Public-Notices/

A hard copy of the proposed PASPGP-6 may be obtained by contacting:  Ms. Brenda Harrison, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, State College Field Office, 1631 South Atherton Street, State College, Suite 101, Pennsylvania 16801, by telephone at (814) 235-1763 or by email at:  Brenda.L.Harrison@usace.army.mil

Proposed Changes

    Eligibility thresholds for PASPGP-6:

     a.  Single and complete projects reduced from 1-acre temporary and/or permanent impact to 0.5 acre permanent loss (permanent adverse effect) of waters of the U.S., including jurisdictional wetlands.

    b.  Unlimited acreage of temporary and/or non-adverse permanent impacts to waters of the U.S., including jurisdictional wetlands, provided the work is determined to result in no more than minimal impact.
    
    Reporting threshold (the need for a Corps review of the application) for PASPGP-6 will be calculated based on impacts associated with Overall Project, not Single and Complete Project.  The eligibility threshold will remain based upon Single and Complete Project as determined by the Corps.
    
    Some activities Reporting under PASPGP-5 are proposed to be removed as Reporting activities under PASPGP-6, including:

    a.  Single and Complete Projects that propose the permanent conversion of greater than 0.10 acre of forested and/or scrub-shrub wetland in association with the regulated activity.

    b.  Utility line applications that meet the following criteria:

          i.  Single and complete utility line crossings in waters of the United States, including jurisdictional wetlands exceeding 500 linear feet (excluding overhead lines).  This applies to the length of the utility line itself in waters of the United States, including jurisdictional wetlands, at that Single and Complete Project location, and is not based on the amount of impacts, either temporary or permanent, associated with installation of the entire utility line; or

         ii.  Buried utility lines placed within a jurisdictional area (i.e., waters of the United States, including jurisdictional wetlands) whereby the utility line runs parallel to or along a stream bed that is within that jurisdictional area.

    c.  Activities Authorized at 25 PA Code § 105.131(c) – Maintenance of Reservoirs of Jurisdictional Dams: This work is associated with maintenance dredging of the reservoir’s design storage capacity including the removal of accumulated sediments. This corresponds to activities authorized pursuant to Section 7 of the Dam Safety and Encroachments Act, 32 P.S. § 693.1, et seq., and the rules and regulations promulgated there under in the Pennsylvania Bulletin (codified at 25 PA. Code, Chapter 105, § 105.131(c)).  Such activities are proposed to be Non-Reporting activities, however projects proposing greater than 0.10 acre of permanent impact to wetlands would be a Reporting activity.
    
    Reporting activities under PASPGP-6 would be based on Overall Project with the following thresholds requiring that an application be sent to the Corps as a Reporting activity:

    More than 1.0 acre of temporary impact;
    
    More than 0.25 acre of permanent impact, except for those activities identified in Activity 29(c), Activities Waived at 25 PA Code § 105.12(a)(16) – Waiver 16 – Restoration Activities: Other Restoration Activities, and Non-Reporting Activity 1, PADEP General Permit (GP)-1 for Fish and Habitat Enhancement Structures the permanent impact threshold is more than 0.50 acre; or
    
    More than 250 linear feet of permanent impacts to streams, rivers, or other watercourses (excluding wetlands) with the following exceptions:

      *   The permanent linear threshold of stream/river impact is more than 500 feet, regardless of drainage area, for those activities that involve stream restoration (rehabilitation and/or reestablishment); stream enhancement; bank stabilization; and/or gravel bar removal; including activities identified in Activity 29(c), Activities Waived at 25 PA Code § 105.12(a)(16) – Waiver 16 – Restoration Activities: Other Restoration Activities; and

      *    No linear threshold of stream/river impact applies to those activities verified as Non-Reporting Activity 1, PADEP General Permit (GP)-1 for Fish and Habitat Enhancement Structures.

    Section 10 waters within Pittsburgh, which were ineligible waters under PASPGP-5, are proposed to be added as waters eligible for authorization under PASPGP-6.  Except for work that qualifies for authorization under Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) Waivers 10 and 12, any regulated work within these waters would be a Reporting activity.
    
    Monitoring of Wetlands:  The requirement under PASPGP-5 for the monitoring of all single and complete projects with temporary impacts greater than >0.10 acre is proposed to be removed as a requirement under PASPGP-6.

The Commonwealth’s Dam Safety and Waterway Management Rules and Regulations establish a statewide permit program for protecting the waters of the Commonwealth.  The Commonwealth’s procedures for the granting of permits require the PADEP to apply evaluation criteria consisting of alternatives analysis (for nonwater dependent activities), avoidance techniques, the minimization of impacts, and if a permit is to be granted, compensatory mitigation.  The evaluative criteria within the Commonwealth’s program are similar to Federal criteria under Section 404(b)(1) of the Federal Clean Water Act.

The decision whether to issue the proposed PASPGP-6 with or without modifications, will be based on an evaluation of the probable impacts including cumulative impacts of the proposed PASPGP-6 on the public interest.  That decision will reflect the national concern for the protection and utilization of important resources.  The benefit which reasonably may be expected to accrue from the proposal will be balanced against its reasonably foreseeable detriments.  All factors which may be relevant to the proposal will be considered including the cumulative effects thereof; among those are conservation, economics, aesthetics, general environmental concerns, wetlands, cultural resources, fish and wildlife resources, flood hazards, floodplain functions, land use, navigation, shoreline erosion and accretion, recreation, water supply and conservation, water quality, energy needs, safety, food and fiber production, and, in general, the needs and welfare of the people.

The Corps of Engineers is soliciting comments from the public; federal, state, and local agencies and officials; federally recognized Native American Nations; and other interested parties in order to consider and evaluate the impacts of this proposed PASPGP-6.  Any comments received will be considered by the Corps of Engineers to determine whether to issue with modifications, issue without modifications, or not issue PASPGP-6.  To make this decision, comments are used to assess impacts on endangered species, cultural resources, water quality, general environmental effects, and the other public interest factors listed above.  Comments will be used in the preparation of an Environmental Assessment and/or an Environmental Impact Statement pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act.  Comments will also be used to determine if the proposed permit is in the public interest.

A Water Quality Certification is required, in accordance with Section 401 of the Clean Water Act, for any activity that would be authorized by PASPGP-6 and involves the discharge of dredged and/or fill material into federally regulated waters of the United States, including wetlands.  Coastal Zone Certification is also required in accordance with the Pennsylvania Coastal Zone Program.    

A preliminary review of the PASPGP-6 indicates that processing procedures and conditions are sufficient such that authorized work may affect, but is not likely to adversely affect listed species or their critical habitat pursuant to Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act as amended.  As the evaluation of the PASPGP-6 continues, additional information may become available which could modify this preliminary determination.

The PASPGP-6 is conditioned to assure that on a case by case basis, cultural resources listed in the latest published version of the National Register of Historic Places or properties listed as eligible or potentially eligible for inclusion therein will be given the consideration required by Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act.

Section 7(a) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1278 et seq.) provides that no department or agency of the United States shall assist by loan, grant, license, or otherwise in the construction of any water resources project that would have a direct and adverse effect on the values for which such river was established, as determined by the Secretary charged with its administration.  A preliminary review of the PASPGP-6 indicates that processing procedures and conditions are sufficient such that authorized work is not likely to have a direct and adverse effect on any designated Wild and Scenic River pursuant to the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act as amended.  As the evaluation of the PASPGP-6 continues, additional information may become available which could modify this preliminary determination.

The Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, as amended by the Sustainable Fisheries Act 1996 (Public Law 104-267), requires all federal agencies to consult with the National Marine Fisheries Service on all actions, or proposed actions, permitted, funded, or undertaken by the agency that may adversely affect Essential Fish Habitat.  A preliminary review of the PASPGP-6 indicates that processing procedures and conditions are sufficient such that authorized work will likely result in no more than minimal adverse effects on Essential Fish Habitat pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act as amended.  As the evaluation of the PASPGP-6 continues, additional information may become available which could modify this preliminary determination.

The evaluation of the impact of the work described above on the public interest will include application of the guidelines promulgated by the Administrator, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, under authority of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.  Any person who has an interest which may be adversely affected by the issuance of this permit may request a public hearing.  The request, which must be in writing, must be received by the District Engineer, within the comment period as specified above, to receive consideration.  The request must clearly state the interest which may be adversely affected by the proposed PASPGP-6.

It is requested that you communicate the foregoing information to any persons known by you to be interested and not being known to this office who did not receive a copy of this notice.

Questions may be directed to Mr. Shawn Gill, Project Manager, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tioga Field Office, 710 Ives Run Lane, Tioga, Pennsylvania 16946, by telephone (570) 835-4263, or by email:  Shawn.R.Gill@usace.army.mil

Comments and/or hearing requests may be directed to the following email address:  PASPGP6_comments@usace.army.mil with a subject line of “PASPGP-6 Comments”, or mailed to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, 1631 South Atherton Street, Suite 101, State College, Pennsylvania 16801.

This public notice is issued by the Chief, Regulatory Branch, Baltimore District, for and on behalf of the Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Baltimore Districts.

THE GOVERNOR
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE
[50 Pa.B. 6988]
[Saturday, December 12, 2020]
Notice of Veto; Senate Bill 790, Printer's No. 1446

November 25, 2020

 To the Honorable Senate of the
 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

 Pursuant to Article IV, Section 15 of the Pennsylvania Constitution, I am returning herewith, without my approval, Senate Bill 790, Printer's Number 1446.

 While this legislation attempts to address the distinct challenges associated with the conventional oil and gas industry, it does so in a manner that does not adequately protect the environment and the public health and safety of the citizens of the Commonwealth, and would contribute to a legacy of environmental degradation.

 The Department of Environmental Protection has repeatedly offered to engage collaboratively with the General Assembly and the regulated community to develop requirements specifically tailored to the conventional oil and gas industry's operations. Unfortunately, instead of seeing that collaborative approach through, this legislation was pursued, which rolls back protections for safe drinking water, weakens protections of public resources, allows more spills to go unreported, and avoids erosion and sediment control permitting requirements. This legislation poses an unacceptable risk to the environment and the public health and safety of our citizens.

 At a time when the conventional industry is still incurring violations at three to four times the rate of the unconventional industry, this legislation is completely unacceptable. Finally, several provisions in the bill relating to burdens of proof, municipal input, public participation, and inadequate authority to regulate and enforce environmental standards run afoul of the Pennsylvania Constitution and, based on precedent, would likely not withstand judicial scrutiny. The substantive issues outlined herein only address a fraction of the concerns related to this legislation.

 For the reasons set forth above, I must withhold my signature from Senate Bill 790, Printer's Number 1446.

 Sincerely,

 Tom Wolf  

 Governor

It is not clear whether there is public comment on the renewal shown in the PA Bulletin.

The Chestnut Valley Landfill does accept Marcellus Shale drilling waste, from which leached is pumped via pipeline to a sewage treatment plant for Uniontown. This practice is likely to violate a court order prohibiting a similar arrangement regarding the Tervita-Rostraver Landfill and Bell Vernon Sewage Treatment Plant.

The North Summit Compressor Station was formerly owned by Dominion, which divested its natural gas transmission and storage business to Berkshire Hathaway Energy of which Eastern Gas Transmission & Storage, Inc. is evidently a subsidiary. The North Summit Compressor Station serves the North Summit Natural Gas Storage Field, which is Fayette County's only "jurisdictional" (i.e. regulated by FERC) natural gas storage field. The authorization above certainly reflects the change of ownership; it is not clear whether there is any actual modification of the facility.

The most recent authorization record for this facility showing sub-facilities listed:

Sub-Facilities for Authorization:
DEP defines an environmental justice area as "any census tract where 20 percent or more individuals live in poverty, and/or 30 percent or more of the population is minority". (See:
<https://www.dep.pa.gov/PublicParticipation/OfficeofEnvironmentalJustice/Pages/default.aspx>). There are supposed to be enhanced public participation requirements for permits in environmental justice areas, but news of this actually ever happening is scarce. In Fayette County, the entirety of Redstone, Springhill, Nicholson, and German Townships are environmental justice areas, as well as a large part of Dunbar Township. DEP's policy document on public participation guidelines for environmental justice areas is located here:
<https://www.elibrary.dep.state.pa.us/dsweb/Get/Version-48671/012-0501-002.pdf>

eNOTICE records are likely to list the same permit multiple times, as that permit moves through the DEP process.

Oil & Gas Wells designated with a site a number and the letter H typically designate horizontal wells.

Disclaimers:

This compilation from the above sources was done in part by hand using copy and paste and in part using automated methods; it may omit relevant permits.

Parcel data is provided via the tax records search web page offered by the Fayette County Assessment Office (http://property.co.fayette.pa.us/). Presumed Parcel Id links are subject to availability provided by that agency and associated web sites. Presumed Parcel Ids are determined as the mapped parcel containing a given latitude and longitude, are a best effort determination which is subject to error, and are not official. In cases where a facility is leased and there is a separate parcel id for the lease, if this parcel id is not separately mapped, the parcel id shown will be the id for the enclosing parcel. Parcel owners may be surface owners only and may or may not have any relationship to oil & gas facilities.

Does not currently include water supply permits. Does not include landfill permits even though many such are for Marcellus Shale waste. (It is not possible at this time to distinguish which landfill permits are for Marcellus Shale waste and which are not without doing File Review for each permit.)

Erosion & Sedimentation permit records do not currently include latitude and longitude. Where I am publishing latitude and longitude with E&S permits it is by inferring an associated well permit and using published latitude and longitude for the well. It is possible I may be inferring the wrong well site.

Municipalities are shown from eFACTS records on the DEP web site. The DEP has been known to list a municipality incorrectly.
