          - [MN91; FRL-9276-5] 

# AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). 

# ACTION:

Notice.

# SUMMARY:

This notice announces that, on January, 28, 2011, pursuant to Title V of the Clean Air Act, EPA issued a Title V Permit to Operate (Title V permit) to Great Lakes Gas Transmission Limited Partnership (Great Lakes Gas). This permit authorizes Great Lakes Gas to operate three natural gas-fired turbine/compressors and one natural gas-fired standby electrical generator at Compressor Station #5 (CS#5) in Cloquet, Minnesota. CS#5, which is located on privately-owned fee land within the exterior boundaries of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indian Reservation, adds pressure to natural gas in Great Lakes' pipeline, causing the natural gas to flow to the next compressor station. 

# DATES:

EPA did not receive any comments during the public comment period, which ended December 15, 2010. The final permit became effective on February 27, 2011. 

# ADDRESSES:

                        The final signed permit is available for public inspection online at                         *http://yosemite.epa.gov/​r5/​r5ard.nsf/​Tribal+​Permits!OpenView,*                         or during normal business hours at the following address: EPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard (AR-18J), Chicago, Illinois 60604.

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This supplemental information is organized as follows: 

A. What Is the Background Information? 

B. What Is the Purpose of this Notice? 

## A. What is the background information? 

                    Great Lakes Gas operates nearly 2,000 miles of large diameter underground pipeline, which transports natural gas for delivery to customers in the midwestern and northeastern United States and eastern Canada. The Great Lakes Gas pipeline system and other interstate natural gas transmission pipelines make up the long-distance link between natural gas production fields, local distribution companies, and end users. The pipeline's 14 compressor stations, located approximately 75 miles apart, operate to keep natural gas moving through the system. Compressors 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 currently consists of three stationary natural gas-fired turbines, which in turn drive two natural gas compressors. Additionally, one natural gas-fired standby electrical generator provides electrical power for critical operations during temporary electrical power outages and during peak loading.                           ( print page 12731)    

CS#5 is located 17 miles west of Cloquet, Minnesota. The area is designated attainment for all criteria pollutants. CS#5 is owned and maintained by Great Lakes Gas on privately-owned fee land within the exterior boundaries of the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indian Reservation. EPA is responsible for issuing and enforcing any air quality permits for the source until such time that the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indian Tribe has EPA approval to do so. 

CS#5 is subject to Title V because it has the potential to emit greater than 100 tons per year of nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide. Great Lakes Gas submitted to EPA on November 23, 2009, a Title V permit application to renew its 2005 title V operating permit for CS#5. On November 15, 2010, EPA published a draft Title V permit to operate for public comment. The public comment period ended on December 15, 2010. EPA did not receive any comments on the draft title V permit, and the permit became effective on February 27, 2011. 

EPA is not aware of any outstanding enforcement actions against Great Lakes Gas and believes the issuance of this permit is non-controversial. 

## B. What is the purpose of this notice? 

EPA is notifying the public of the issuance of the Great Lakes Gas CS#5 Title V permit. 

Dated: February 28, 2011.
