Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Ohio Particulate Matter
EPA is proposing to approve assorted revisions to regulations governing particulate matter emissions in the Cleveland area. These revisions affect emission limits for Ford Motor Company's Cleveland Casting Plant and Cleveland facilities of General Chemical Corporation and International Steel Group (formerly LTV Steel). EPA concludes that Ohio has provided a suitable modeling demonstration that the revised limits continue to provide for attainment of the air quality standard for particles 10 microns and less (known as PM10). Ohio submitted these revisions on July 18, 2000, along with revisions of other particulate matter regulations, most of which had statewide applicability. EPA proposed action on these other revisions on December 2, 2002, at 67 FR 71515. EPA is not reopening the comment period on the prior proposal. EPA anticipates publishing final rulemaking addressing the complete Ohio submittal, considering comments on the prior proposal and any comments addressing today's proposal.

This notice announces that, on June 30, 2005, pursuant to Titles I and V of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401-7479 and 7501-7515, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 5 issued a Prevention of Significant Deterioration Construction Permit (PSD permit) and a Title V Permit to Operate (Title V permit) to Great Lakes Gas Transmission L.P. (Great Lakes). These permits authorize the company to construct and operate 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 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.
