Weekly receipt of Environmental Impact 

Statements. 

Filed 08/01/2011 through 08/05/2011. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 1506.9. 

Notice 

In accordance with Section 309(a) of 

the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to 

make its comments on EISs issued by 

other Federal agencies public. 

Historically, EPA met this mandate by 

publishing weekly notices of availability 

of EPA comments, which includes a 

brief summary of EPA’s comment 

letters, in the Federal Register. Since 

February 2008, EPA has included its 

comment letters on EISs on its Web site 

at: http://www.epa.gov/compliance/ 

nepa/eisdata.html. Including the entire 

EIS comment letters on the Web site 

satisfies the Section 309(a) requirement 

to make EPA’s comments on EISs 

available to the public. Accordingly, on 

March 31, 2010, EPA discontinued the 

publication of the notice of availability 

of EPA comments in the Federal 

Register.

Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara (MHA) 

Nation’s Refinery, Notice of Availability 

of the Record of Decision (ROD), 

National Pollutant Discharge 

Elimination System (NPDES) Permit 

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The MHA Nation proposes to 

construct, own and operate a 13,000 

barrels-per-day petroleum refinery on 

the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation 

near Makoti in North Dakota. The 

refinery will produce diesel fuel, 

gasoline and propane. The NPDES 

permit will be for surface water 

discharges associated with the operation 

of the refinery. 

EPA’s decision to issue the NPDES 

permit is based on the Environmental 

Impact Statement (EIS), the Fact Sheet 

for the NPDES permit and the 

administrative record for the project. 

EPA and the Bureau of Indian Affairs 

issued the draft EIS in June 2006 and 

the final EIS (FEIS) in August 2009. 

Since the FEIS was issued, the MHA 

Nation decided to change the refinery 

feedstock from synthetic crude oil to the 

Bakken formation crude. As a result of 

the feedstock change, EPA evaluated the 

potential changes in impacts and the 

analysis in the FEIS. EPA’s evaluation is 

summarized in a Supplemental 

Information Report (SIR). The FEIS, 

ROD and SIR are available for review at 

http://www.epa.gov/region8/ 

compliance/nepa/mharefinery.html. 

The appeal period for the NPDES permit 

decision ends 30 days from the date of 

this notice in accordance with 40 CFR 

124.19. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Dana Allen; Allen.dana@epa.gov, (303)
