Western’s need for agency action in
response to Basin Electric’s request to
eliminate the average 50-MW operating
limit is distinct from Basin Electric’s
need to provide additional peaking
energy. Language added in the Final EIS
in Section 1.2 noting that the station
does not gain any additional peaking
generation capability is correct. While
there is a need for additional peaking
resource to serve projected additional
member load growth, the capability of
the Groton Generation Station would
remain at 200 MW with Western’s
proposed action.
EPA’s comment letter encouraged the
disclosure and consideration of
potential indirect effects from increased
or decreased natural gas production for
the Groton Generation Station. While
Western acknowledges the potential for
indirect effects from continued natural
gas production and use, Western
explained in the Final EIS that natural
gas production would not be increased
to serve additional output of the Groton
Generation Station because the capacity
of the natural gas production system
meets the needs of the Groton
Generation Station at full output. In
addition, any gas not currently used by
the station under the 50-MW average
limit is provided to the market.
Lastly, EPA recommended disclosure
of the temperature impairments at Lake
Sharpe, along with acknowledgement
that additional withdrawals, although
small, may cumulatively contribute to
this impairment unless demonstrated
otherwise. In the Final EIS, Western
indicated that the additional 15-acrefeet consumed by the Groton Generation
Station under Western’s proposed
Federal action would be minuscule
compared to the water level of Lake
Oahe, corresponding to a lack of
subsequent temperature effect of Lake
Sharpe. However, Western does
acknowledge EPA’s comment.
Decision
Western’s decision is to modify its
LGIA with Basin Electric to eliminate
the 50-MW annual average operating
limit,1 allowing operation up to the
limits imposed by the current Title V air
quality control operating permit.
Western’s decision to modify its LGIA
with Basin Electric is based on
providing open access under its Tariff
and satisfying Basin Electric’s objectives
while recognizing there will be minimal
harm to the environment.
This decision is based on the
information contained in the
1 Western’s
authority to issue a record of decision
is pursuant to authority delegated on October 4,
1999, from the Assistant Secretary for Environment,
Safety and Health to Western’s Administrator.
