Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 152 / Tuesday, August 9, 2005 / Notices
Compressor Station No. 5 (CS #5), one
of five Great Lakes compressor stations
located in Minnesota. Although these
permits authorize the company to
construct and operate, the source
previously had sought and been issued
a construction permit by the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). The
federal construction permit supersedes
the previously issued MPCA permit.
The compressor station is composed
of three natural gas-fired turbines and
one natural gas-fired standby electrical
generator, which the source uses to add
pressure along a natural gas pipeline.
The turbines are located in Cloquet,
Minnesota on privately-owned fee land
within the exterior boundaries of the
Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior
Chippewa Indian Reservation.
DATES: During the public comment
period, ending May 16, 2005, EPA
received no comments on either the
draft PSD or Title V permit. Therefore,
in accordance with 40 CFR 124.15 and
71.11(i)(2)(iii), both permits became
effective immediately upon permit
issuance, June 30, 2005.
ADDRESSES: The final signed permits are
available for public inspection online at
https://www.epa.gov/region5/air/
permits/epermits.htm or during normal
business hours at the following address:
EPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson
Boulevard (AR–18J), Chicago, Illinois
60604.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
supplemental information is organized
as follows:
A. What Is the Background Information?
B. What Action Is EPA Taking?
A. What Is the Background
Information?
Great Lakes operates nearly 2,000
miles of large diameter underground
pipeline, through which it transports
natural gas for delivery to customers in
the midwest and northeast United States
and eastern Canada. The pipeline’s 14
compressor stations, located
approximately 75 miles apart, operate to
keep natural gas moving through the
system. Compressors operated at these
stations add pressure to natural gas in
the pipeline, causing it to flow to the
next compressor station. The pipeline
normally operates continuously, but at
varying load, 24 hours per day and 365
days per year.
CS #5 is located approximately 17
miles west of Cloquet, Minnesota, near
VerDate jul<14>2003
15:52 Aug 08, 2005
Jkt 205001
the intersection of county roads 847 and
851, on the Fond du Lac Band of Lake
Superior Chippewa Indian Reservation
in St. Louis County, Minnesota. The
station consists of three stationary
natural gas-fired turbines (EU–001
through EU–003), which drive three
natural gas compressors, and one
natural gas-fired standby electrical
generator (EU–004), which provides
electrical power for critical operations
during temporary electrical power
outages and during peak loading.
Since CS #5 is a major stationary
source, Great Lakes was required to
obtain a preconstruction permit under
40 CFR 52.21. Furthermore, because CS
#5 is subject to section 111 of the Clean
Air Act and is located in Indian
Country, 40 CFR 71.3(a) and 71.4(b)
make it subject to the permitting
requirements of 40 CFR part 71. On June
30, 2005, EPA issued a PSD
construction permit (PSD–FDL–
R50001–04–01) and a federal Title V
Permit (No. V–FDL–R50006–04–01)
which incorporates all applicable air
quality requirements, including
monitoring sufficient to yield reliable
data on the source’s compliance with
the permit. In accordance with the
requirements of 40 CFR 71.11(d) and
124.10, EPA provided the public with
the required 30 days to comment on the
draft permit. EPA did not receive any
comments during the public comment
period.
B. What Action Is EPA Taking?
EPA is notifying the public of the
issuance of the PSD and Title V permits
to Great Lakes Gas Transmission L.P.
Because EPA did not receive comments
on the permits, only persons who
demonstrate that there are new grounds
for review that were not reasonably
foreseeable during the public comment
period may, within 30 days of the date
of this notice, seek review of the Title
V operating permit pursuant to 40 CFR
71.11.

Indian Country in Montana?
Montana is not authorized to carry out
its PWSS program in ‘‘Indian country.’’

Flathead, Fort Belknap, Fort Peck,
Northern Cheyenne and Rocky Boys
Indian Reservations; any land held in
trust by the United States for an Indian
tribe, and any other areas which are
