Notice of Issuance of Prevention of
Significant Deterioration Modification
and Part 71 Operating Permit Renewal
to NRG Backup Generation Services
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces that on
November 26, 2012, EPA issued a
Modification to a Prevention of
Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit
to NRG Backup Generation Services.
NRG Backup Generation Services owns
and operates four diesel-fired generators
for Treasure Island Resort and Casino on
land held in trust for the Prairie Island
Indian Community in Red Wing,
Minnesota. The modified PSD permit
changes the required interval of nitrogen
oxide performance testing for the four
engines from every three years to every
five years. In a separate action on
November 26, 2012, EPA issued a title
V permit to operate renewal to NRG
Backup Generation Services pursuant to
title V of the Clean Air Act. This permit
authorizes NRG Backup Generation
Services to operate the four diesel-fired
generators for peak load management
and backup power at the casino.
DATES: During the public comment
period, which ended on October 19,
2012, EPA received a comment on the
modified draft PSD permit and draft
title V permit. Therefore, in accordance
with 40 CFR 124.15(b) and 71.11(i)(2),
both permits became effective on
December 26, 2012.
ADDRESSES: The final signed permits are
available for public inspection online at
https://yosemite.epa.gov/r5/r5ard.nsf/
Tribal+Permits!OpenView, or during
normal business hours at the following
address: U.S. Environmental Protection

A. What is the background
information?
NRG Backup Generation Services,
formerly Energy Alternatives, Inc., owns
and operates four diesel-fired generators
for Treasure Island Resort and Casino in
Red Wing, Minnesota. All four
generators are located on land held in
trust for the Prairie Island Indian
Community. The generators are used for
peak load management and backup
power at the casino.
On August 14, 2007, Energy
Alternatives, Inc. submitted to EPA an
application to change the nitrogen oxide
performance testing interval from every
three years to every five years. EPA
approved this change based on previous
performance testing results.
In October 2008, Energy Alternatives,
Inc. submitted an application to renew
its title V permit.
EPA first made available for public
comment a draft Federal title V permit
during a public comment period that
ended on May 10, 2010. On May 10,
2010, EPA received a comment from
Energy Alternatives, Inc. explaining that
the requested change to the nitrogen
oxide performance testing interval was
not included in the title V permit. Since
the testing interval was established in a
PSD permit and since title V permits
cannot change PSD requirements, a
modification to the PSD permit was
required.
On September 19, 2012, EPA made
available for public comment a draft
Federal PSD permit modification,
Permit No. PSD–PI–2704900084–2012–
02, which included the nitrogen oxide
testing interval requested by Energy
Alternatives. On the same day, EPA
made available for public comment a
draft Federal title V permit to operate,
Permit No. V–PI–2704900084–2012–10.
This title V permit incorporated all
applicable air quality requirements for
the four diesel-fired, emergency and
peak load sharing generators Energy
Alternatives owned and operated at
Treasure Island Resort and Casino,
including the monitoring necessary to
ensure compliance with the
requirements of the permit. In
accordance with the requirements of 40
CFR 124.10(b)(1) and 71.11(d), EPA
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
provided the public with 30 days to
comment on both draft permits.
During the public comment period,
EPA received one comment from NRG
Backup Generation Services notifying
EPA that ownership of the four dieselfired engines changed from Energy
Alternatives, Inc. to NRG Backup
Generation Services. EPA finalized both
permits and provided copies to the
applicant pursuant to 40 CFR 124.15(b)
and 71.11(i).
EPA is not aware of any outstanding
enforcement actions against NRG
Backup Generation Services and
believes the issuance of these permits is
non-controversial.
B. What is the purpose of this notice?
EPA is notifying the public of the
issuance of the PSD permit modification
and title V operating permit to NRG
Backup Generation Services on
November 26, 2012. Since EPA received
a comment on the draft PSD permit
modification and the draft title V
permit, both permits became effective
on December 26, 2012, pursuant to 40
CFR 124.15(b) and 71.11(i)(2).
