I refer to your request for information and comments on environmental resources that may be affected by the construction and operation of the proposed Lampwrights LLC Line of Railroad proposed in Elk and Jefferson Counties, Pennsylvania. The project involves the construction and operation of 3.87 miles of new rail line beginning at the end of an active Buffalo & Pittsburgh Railroad, Inc. line located at the O-I Crenshaw Glass Plant to the Superior Greentree Landfill, owned by Noble Environmental, LLC. Lampwrights LLC also intends to construct a private industry track to receive waste at the Superior Greentree Landfill. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers regulates earth moving activities within streams or wetlands. This includes any placement of fill material, temporary or permanent. The letter and location map do not clearly identify streams or wetlands, nor describe proposed temporary and permanent impacts or avoidance measures. We recommend that a qualified wetland consultant evaluate the entire project area to determine if any streams or wetlands are present. If impacts to streams or wetlands are in fact proposed, this office should be contacted by the applicant to discuss permitting requirements. Every effort should be made to avoid and minimize impacts to the aquatic resources on-site.
