ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[MN85; FRL–7830–3] 

Notice of Issuance of Part 71 Federal 

Operating Permit to Great Lakes Gas 

Transmission L.P.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This notice announces that, 

pursuant to title V of the Clean Air Act 

and to 40 CFR part 71, on September 28, 

2004, the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA), Region 5 issued a title V 

Permit to Operate (title V permit), to 

Great Lakes Gas Transmission L.P. 

(Great Lakes). This permit authorizes 

the company to operate Compressor 

Station No. 4 (CS #4), one of five Great 

Lakes compressor stations located in 

Minnesota. The compressor station is 

composed of two natural gas-fired 

turbines and one natural gas-fired 

generator, which the source uses to add 

pressure along a natural gas pipeline. 

The turbines are located in Deer River, 

Minnesota on the Leech Lake Band of 

Ojibwe Indian Reservation.

DATES: The title V Permit will become 

effective on October 28, 2004. EPA has 

provided the required public comment 

period for the permit in accordance with 

40 CFR 71.11, and has issued it as final.

ADDRESSES: The final signed permits are 

available for public inspection online at 

http://www.epa.gov/region5/air/

permits/epermits.htm or during normal 

business hours at the following address: 

EPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson 

Boulevard (AR–18J), Chicago, Illinois 

60604.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Ethan Chatfield, EPA, Region 5, 77 W. 

Jackson Boulevard (AR–18J), Chicago, 

Illinois 60604, (312) 886–5112, or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

supplemental information is organized 

as follows:

A. What Is the Background Information? 

B. What Action Is EPA Taking?

A. What Is the Background 

Information? 

Great Lakes 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 

pipeline’s 14 compressor stations, 

located approximately 75 miles apart, 

operate to keep natural gas moving 

through the system. Compressors 

operated 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 #4 is located approximately 3 

miles west of the City of Deer River on 

the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe Indian 

Reservation in Itasca County, 

Minnesota. The station consists of two 

stationary natural gas-fired turbines 

(EU–001, EU–002), which drive two 

natural gas compressors, and one 

natural gas-fired standby electrical 

generator (EU–003), which provides 

electrical power for critical operations 

during temporary electrical power 

outages and during peak loading. 

Since Great Lakes CS #4 is a major 

stationary source, is subject to section 

111 of the Clean Air Act, and is located 

in Indian Country, it is subject to the 

permitting requirements of Part 71 (40 

CFR 71.3(a), 71.4(b)). On September 28, 

2004, EPA issued a federal title V Permit 

(No. V–LL–R50002–04–01) 

incorporating all applicable air quality 

requirements, including monitoring 

sufficient to yield reliable data on the 

source’s compliance with the permit. In 

accordance with the requirements of 40 

CFR 71.11(d), EPA provided the public 

with the required 30 days to comment 

on the draft permit. EPA received 

comments from the Leech Lake and 

Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe. EPA has 

attached to the Statement of Basis a 

Response to Comments document 

summarizing the comments and 

providing a brief explanation as to why 

changes were or were not made, and has 

placed it online at http://www.epa.gov/

region5/air/permits/const/

r5permits.htm.

EPA is not aware of any outstanding 

enforcement actions against Great Lakes 

and believes issuance of this permit is 

non-controversial. 

B. What Action Is EPA Taking? 

EPA is notifying the public of the 

issuance of the title V permit to Great 

Lakes Gas Transmission L.P.

Notice of Tentative Approval and 

Solicitation of Request for a Public 

Hearing for Public Water System 

Supervision Program Revisions for the 

State of Maryland

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Tentative Approval 

and Solicitation of Requests for a Public 

Hearing. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given in 

accordance with the provision of section 

1413 of the Safe Drinking Water Act, as 

amended and the requirements 

governing the National Primary 

Drinking Water Regulations 

Implementation, 40 CFR part 142, that 

the State of Maryland is revising its 

approved Public Water System 

Supervision (PWSS) Program. Maryland 

has revised its administrative penalty 

authority to be consistent with the Safe 

Drinking Water Act and its related 

Federal regulations. Under the revised 

regulation, Maryland is authorized to 

assess administrative penalties for 

violations of its PWSS program 

including disinfectant residual levels in 

drinking water and plans for 

compliance to resolve deficiencies 

found in sanitary surveys. EPA has 

determined that these revisions, all 

effective March 1, 2004, are no less 

stringent than the corresponding 

Federal regulations. Therefore, EPA has 

decided to tentatively approve these 

program revisions. All interested parties 

are invited to submit written comments 

on this determination and may request 

a public hearing.

DATES: Comments or a request for a 

public hearing must be submitted by 

November 26, 2004. This determination 

shall become effective on November 26, 

2004, if no timely and appropriate 

request for a hearing is received and the 

Regional Administrator does not elect to 

hold a hearing on his own motion, and 

if no comments are received which 

cause EPA to modify its tentative 

approval.

ADDRESSES: Comments or a request for 

a public hearing must be submitted to 

the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency Region III, 1650 Arch Street, 

Philadelphia, PA 19103–2029. 

Comments only can be submitted 

electronically to Steve Maslowski at 

maslowski.steven@epa.gov.

All documents relating to this 

determination are available for 

inspection between the hours of 8 a.m.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: All 

interested parties are invited to submit 

written comments on this determination 

and may request a public hearing. All 

comments will be considered, and, if 

necessary, EPA will issue a response. 

Frivolous or insubstantial requests for a 

hearing may be denied by the Regional 

Administrator. However, if a substantial 

request for a public hearing is made by 

November 26, 2004, a public hearing 

will be held. 

A request for public hearing shall 

include the following: (1) The name, 

address, and telephone number of the 

individual, organization, or other entity 

requesting a hearing; (2) a brief 

statement of the requesting person’s 

interest in the Regional Administrator’s
