Hearing, Draft Environmental Impact
Statement, Highwood Generating
Station, Great Falls, Montana.
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that
the Rural Utilities Service (RUS) is
extending the public comment period
for the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) for the Highwood
Generating Station (HGS), and, as
requested, is conducting an additional
public hearing. The Draft EIS was
prepared pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (U.S.C. 4231 et seq.) in
accordance with the Council on
Environmental Quality (CEQ)
regulations for implementing the
procedural provisions of NEPA (40 CFR
1500–1508) and RUS regulations (7 CFR
1794). This document has been
prepared jointly with the Montana
Department of Environmental Quality
(MDEQ).
The Draft EIS is to evaluate the
potential environmental impacts of and
alternatives to the Southern Montana
Electric Transmission & Generation
Cooperative, Inc. (SME) application for
a loan guarantee to construct a 250
megawatt (MW) coal-fired power plant
near Great Falls, Montana. SME is
proposing to use a coal combustion
technology known as circulating
fluidized bed (CFB). Along with other
proposed pollution controls collectively
known as Best Available Control
Technology (BACT), the HGS would be
among the cleanest-burning coal-fired
power plants currently operating in the
United States. SME also proposes to
construct and operate four, 1.5–MW
wind turbines to generate supplemental
electrical power at the preferred project
location eight miles east of Great Falls.
Receipt of the Draft EIS was
announced by the U. S. Environmental
Protection Agency in the Federal
Register on July 3, 2006 (official date
June 30, 2006). Requests for extension of
public comment periods may be
honored per 40 CFR 1506.10. The initial
45-day public comment period was to
end on August 15, 2006. With the 15day extension, the new deadline for
public comments is now August 30,
2006.
In addition to the public hearing held
in Great Falls, Montana on July 27, an
additional hearing will be held in
Havre, Montana. The Havre public
hearing will be held on August 7, 2006
at the Applied Technology Center
Auditorium at MSU Northern, 300 West
11th Street, Havre, MT. An open house
will be held from 5–7 p.m., with the
hearing beginning at 7 p.m. The hearing
will include a presentation summarizing
the findings of the Draft EIS and the
