Final Technical Guidance--Substantive Revision

DEP ID: 363-2134-008. Title: Erosion and Sediment Pollution Control Program Manual. Description: The Department by this notice is providing the final version of the Erosion and Sediment Pollution Control Program Manual; Document No. 363-2134-008, March 2012 (Manual). The Manual includes specific guidance, performance requirements and design criteria to support the implementation of the Department's water quality regulatory requirements, including those found at 25 Pa. Code Chapter 102 (relating to erosion and sediment control).

The draft version of the Manual was announced for a 60-day public comment period at 39 Pa.B. 6121 (October 17, 2009). In response to the notice the Department received 607 comments from 24 commenters. The Department has developed a Comment and Response document that summarizes the comments received and the Department's response to the comments. The final version of the Manual reflects changes made to the draft Manual based on comments received, updating and correcting typographical errors and improving formatting, photos and drawings for clarity.

The Manual has been designed to be more user-friendly and to complement the Pennsylvania Stormwater BMP Manual; Document No. 363-0300-002, December 2006. The Manual has been revised to follow an overall approach that supports the managing of stormwater for erosion and sediment control during earth disturbance activities that are compatible with, and can be integrated into, structural and non-structural post construction stormwater management practices. Contact: Questions regarding this final guidance document should be directed to Jennifer Orr, (717) 772-5961 or jeorr@pa.gov.

Effective Date: Upon publication as final in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

MICHAEL L. KRANCER,
Secretary

Docket Sheet:
<http://ujsportal.pacourts.us/DocketSheets/CommonwealthCourtReport.aspx?docketNumber=284%20MD%202012>
[This is the lawsuit to overturn Act 13 as unconstitutional.]

Notes:

The Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission has created Docket # M-2012-2282031 for its orders implementing Act 127, the GAS AND HAZARDOUS LIQUIDS PIPELINES ACT. Documents for this docket are available here:

<http://www.puc.state.pa.us/general/ConsolidatedCaseView.aspx?Docket=M-2012-2282031>

Commonwealth Court does not seem to host any documents other than the docket sheet, which is mainly information about the parties and does not have any of the text of actual pleadings. The complaint in the Act 13 lawsuit is available in two parts here:

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 by hand using copy and paste and may omit relevant permits.

Does not currently include water supply permits.

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.
