Project Description (50 words or less)

The Tier 3 Clean Fuels projects involves refinery investments to meet the requirements of the EPA Tier 3 gasoline sulfur standard 

which targets improvements in ambient air quality. In order to produce gasoline meeting the Tier 3 standard, FHR must remove and 

recover more sulfur from fuel blends and also proposes to install a unique process to convert recovered gas containing sulfur and 

nitrogen into a salable aqueous liquid fertilizer, Ammonium Thiosulfate (ATS).

Section 5. Discussion 

Enter any discussion or comments on the information provided in this form (this can be used as a substitute for a written report): 

The existing SO2 SIP requires modeling demonstrations for the 3-hr, 24-hr, and annual averaging periods and is presented in this 

SIP10 update. Currently, the existing SO2 SIP does not cover, nor require a demonstration of the 2010 1-hour primary National 

Ambient Air Quality standard. However, as discussed with EPA and MPCA, FHR is performing a 1-hour Significant Impact Level 

(SIL) analysis for the Tier 3 Clean Fuels Projects to demonstrate that the work authorized by the proposed modification of FHR’s 

SIP order will not cause concerns relating to the new standard. It is understood by existing FHR/MPCA monitors that the emissions 

from the current facility operations result in actual ambient concentrations of SO2 that are well below the new 1-hour SO2 NAAQS.

Section 6. Modeling Results Figures/Maps

Insert a figure or map showing the facility emission sources, receptors, and the location of the modeled maximum concentration(s) 

for each applicable pollutant, corresponding averaging periods, and operating scenarios. Figures or maps should correspond to 

Section 3 NAAQS and Increment results.

MINNESOTA POLLUTION CONTROL AGENCY 

In the Matter of Flint Hills Resources Pine Bend, LLC

Proceedings to Develop 

and Implement a State 

Implementation Plan for the Pine 

Bend Industrial Area, Rosemount, 

Minnesota, to Demonstrate, 

Attain and Maintain Compliance 

with the National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards for Sulfur 

Dioxide, as required by the Clean 

Air Act Section 110, 42 U.S.C. § 

7410. 

AMENDED FINDINGS AND 

ORDER BY CONSENT

 

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), being fully advised in the premises and with 

the consent of Flint Hills Resources Pine Bend, LLC, (formerly known as Flint Hills Resources, LP) 

hereby adopts this amended Findings and Order. The MPCA first adopted Findings and Order by 

Stipulation on April 2, 1991 (Order). The Order has been amended eightnine times and as 

amended is in effect today. 

FINDINGS

1. The State of Minnesota is obligated by section 110(a) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 

7410, to develop a plan which provides for "implementation, maintenance, and 

enforcement" of the primary and secondary national ambient air quality standards 

(NAAQS) promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pursuant to 

section 109 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7409. 

2. The EPA has promulgated requirements for the implementation plans required by 

section 110(a) of the Clean Air Act at 40 CFR Part 51 (1991) (Requirements for 

Preparation, Adoption and Submittal of Implementation Plans). 

3. The EPA has promulgated primary NAAQS for sulfur dioxide of 0.03 parts per million 

(ppm) annual arithmetic mean and 0.14 ppm maximum 24-hour concentration, not to 

be exceeded more than once per year, 40 CFR § 50.4 (2010). This primary NAAQS 

remains applicable to all areas until one year after the effective date of the designation 

of an area, pursuant to section 107 of the Clean Air Act, for the primary sulfur dioxide 

NAAQS described in Finding 4. 
- Page 2 of 31 

4. In 2010, the EPA promulgated a new primary NAAQS for sulfur dioxide of 75 parts per 

billion (ppb) one-hour annual average, met when the three-year average of the annual 

99th percentile of the daily maximum one-hour concentration is less than or equal to 75 

ppb, 40 CFR § 50.17. 

5. The EPA has promulgated secondary NAAQS for sulfur dioxide of 0.5 ppm maximum 

three-hour concentration, not to be exceeded more than once per year, 40 CFR. § 50.5 

(2010). 

6. The MPCA is a statutory agency of the state of Minnesota, Minn. Stat. § 116.02, subp. 1 

(2010), charged with the responsibility to administer and enforce laws and promulgate 

rules to prevent water, air and land pollution throughout the state of Minnesota, Minn. 

Stat. chs. 115, 115B and 116 (2010). 

7. The MPCA is empowered to promulgate standards and rules for the prevention, 

abatement or control of air pollution related, without limitation, to "source or emissions 

of air contamination or air pollution, to the quality or composition of such emissions, or 

to the quality of or composition of the ambient air or outdoor atmosphere or to any 

other matter relevant to the prevention, abatement or control of air pollution." Minn. 

Stat. § 116.07, subp. 4 (2010). See Minn. Stat. § 116.07, subp. 2 (2010). 

8. The MPCA has promulgated primary ambient air quality standards for sulfur dioxide of 

0.03 ppm annual arithmetic mean and 0.14 ppm maximum 24-hour concentration, not 

to be exceeded more than once per year. Minn. Rules pt. 7009.0080 (2010). The MPCA 

has also promulgated secondary ambient air quality standards for sulfur dioxide of 0.5 

ppm maximum three-hour concentration, not to be exceeded more than once per year 

in Air Quality Control Region 131. Minn. Rules pt. 7009.0080 (2010). 

9. The MPCA has the authority to enforce any statute or rule related to air pollution by, 

among other things, adopting, issuing, entering into or enforcing "reasonable orders, 

schedules of compliance and stipulation agreements." Minn. Stat. § 116.07, subp. 9 

(2010). 

10. Minn. Stat. § 115.071 (2010) provides that the provisions of chapters 115 and 116 and 

"all rules, standards, orders, stipulation agreements, schedules of compliance, and 

permits adopted or issued" by the MPCA may be enforced by criminal prosecution, 

action to recover civil penalties, injunction, action to compel performance, or other 

appropriate action. Specifically, in an action to compel performance of an order of the 

MPCA, the regulated party may be required "to do and perform any and all acts and 

things within the defendant's power which are reasonably necessary to accomplish the 

purposes of the order." Minn. Stat. § 115.071, subp. 5 (2010). 

11. The seven-county Twin Cities metropolitan area Air Quality Control Region (AQCR) is 

defined at 40 CFR § 81.27 (2010) and is designated AQCR 131. This area was classified as 
- Page 3 of 31 

a nonattainment area for the primary NAAQS for sulfur dioxide at 40 CFR § 81.324 

(1991). The area now maintains the standard. 

12. In 1981, the EPA approved Minnesota's State Implementation Plan (SIP) to control 

emissions of sulfur dioxide in the Twin Cities nonattainment area, AQCR 131. 46 FR 

20997 (April 8, 1981). See 40 CFR § 52.1222(c)(17) (2010). 

13. On July 29, 1982, EPA proposed to conditionally approve Minnesota Rule APC-41 (Offset 

Rule) as a revision to the Minnesota SIP fulfilling the requirements of Part D (Plan 

Requirements for Nonattainment Areas) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 7501-7508. 

47 Federal Register 32742 (July 29, 1982). 

14. In 1982, MPCA staff computer modeling of allowable sulfur dioxide emissions from 

stationary emission sources in the Pine Bend area of Dakota County (a portion of AQCR 

131) showed the potential for nonattainment of the sulfur dioxide NAAQS. 

15. On September 2, 1983, the MPCA formally requested that EPA redesignate all of AQCR 

131 to attainment for sulfur dioxide except for the Pine Bend area of Dakota County. 

16. On September 28, 1984, EPA issued a letter of SIP deficiency to the MPCA pursuant to 

Section 110(a)(2)(H) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7410(a)(2)(H), for monitored and 

modeled violations of the sulfur dioxide NAAQS in the Dakota County portion of AQCR 

131. EPA published this notice at 49 FR 47488 (December 5, 1984), and identified 

Dakota County as one of the areas in the country with fully or partially approved Part D 

plans which still do not attain NAAQS. 

17. On June 27, 1986, the MPCA submitted a sulfur dioxide SIP revision for the Dakota 

County portion of AQCR 131 to EPA to resolve the deficiency noted in a September 28, 

1984, letter from EPA. The MPCA submitted a sulfur dioxide SIP revision for another 

portion of AQCR 131 (i.e., the St. Paul Park area of Washington and Ramsey Counties) on 

June 30, 1987. On August 19, 1987, the MPCA submitted a sulfur dioxide SIP revision to 

EPA demonstrating modeled attainment of NAAQS for the Pine Bend area. On 

September 10, 1987, the MPCA again submitted a sulfur dioxide SIP revision requesting 

redesignation of all AQCR 131 as attainment for sulfur dioxide, except for the areas 

covered by the St. Paul Park and Pine Bend sulfur dioxide SIP submittals. In response to 

EPA's June 1990 comments, the MPCA withdrew these revisions in August 1990. On 

March 13, 1989, the MPCA submitted a SIP revision to EPA entitled "Revisions to Offset 

and General Rules" to fulfill the requirements of Part D of the Clean Air Act. 

18. In its 1990 Air Pollution Control Cooperative Agreement No. A005236-90, EPA stated 

that it would withhold from the MPCA up to $150,000 in federal funds for the purpose 

of promulgating a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) unless an approvable sulfur dioxide 

SIP for the Pine Bend area was submitted to EPA by the end of the third quarter of 

federal fiscal year 1990.

19. On January 1, 2002, Koch Petroleum Group LP changed its corporate name to Flint Hills 

Resources, LP. On November 10, 2010, the Pine Bend Refinery and other assets of the 

company became Flint Hills Resources Pine Bend, LLC. Flint Hills Resources, Pine Bend, 

LLC (FHR or Company), a limited liability company organized and existing under the laws 

of the state of Delaware, is authorized to do business and is doing business in the state 

of Minnesota at the junction of Highway 52 and 55 in Dakota County, Minnesota. 

20. The Company owns and operates a petroleum refinery (Refinery), in the Pine Bend area 

of Rosemount, Dakota County, Minnesota. The facility is now known as Flint Hills 

Resources Pine Bend Refinery. 

21. The Refinery emits pollutants into the ambient air in sufficient quantities to require an 

air emission permit from the MPCA pursuant to Minn. Stat. § 116.081 (2010) and Minn. 

Rules pts. 7001.0030 and 7007.0150, Subp. 1 (2009). 

The MPCA issued the company an air emission permit in 1985, for the operation and 

expansion of the Refinery. That permit is Air Emission Facility Permit No. 106A-85-OT-1, 

the Refinery permit. FHR’s Refinery permit has been amended, and as amended is in 

effect today. The Refinery’s current permit is Air Emission Permit No. 0300011-0070010. 

In conjunction with this Administrative Order, the MPCA is issuing Air Emission Permit 

No. 03700011-0080011. 

This Administrative Order imposes requirements on the FHR refinery (i.e., specified in 

parts I. through VII. below) that will achieve and maintain compliance with the annual, 

24-hour and three-hour NAAQS for sulfur dioxide. 

22. The Refinery was found to be a major contributor of sulfur dioxide emissions in the Pine 

Bend area, and based on computer modeling [ISC-ST (Version 90346) and ISC-LT 

(Version 90008)] it is a culpable sulfur dioxide emission source in the Pine Bend area. 

23. The Refinery produces unleaded gasoline, home heating oil, commercial and industrial 

heating oils, transportation fuels, jet fuels, petroleum coke, asphalt, sulfur and carbon 

dioxide. The Refinery has numerous different processing facilities which contain 

emission sources that emit sulfur dioxide. 

24. On July 29, 1992, the MPCA submitted a sulfur dioxide state implementation plan to 

bring the Pine Bend area into attainment. The submittal included the original version of 

this Order. On September 9, 1994, EPA approved the MPCA’s plan (59 FR 46553). 

25. On September 7, 1994, the MPCA submitted a request to EPA to redesignate the Pine 

Bend sulfur dioxide area from nonattainment to attainment. On May 31, 1995, the EPA 

published a Direct Final Rule (60 FR 28339) indicating that it intended to redesignate the 

Pine Bend area from nonattainment for sulfur dioxide to attainment. On July 31, 1995, 
- Page 5 of 31 

this rule became effective, and the Pine Bend area was redesignated as an attainment 

area for sulfur dioxide. 

26. On February 10, 2000, EPA promulgated the “Control of Air Pollution from New Motor 

Vehicles: Tier 2 Motor Vehicle Emissions Standards and Gasoline Sulfur Control 

Requirements.” This rule, effective April 10, 2000, required most refiners (including the 

Pine Bend refinery) to meet a corporate average standard for sulfur in gasoline in 2004 

and to produce even lower sulfur gasoline by 2006. 

27. On December 22, 2000, the U.S. Department of Justice lodged a proposed Complaint 

and Consent Decree in United States vs. Koch Petroleum Group LP in U.S. District Court 

(Civil Action No. 00-2756-PAM-SRN). In this action the United States sought civil 

penalties and injunctive relief against Koch Petroleum Group, L.P., (“Koch”) pursuant to 

section 113(b) of the Clean Air Act (“CAA”), 42 U.S.C. 7413(b) (1983), amended by, 42 

U.S.C. 7413(b) (Supp. 1991), the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, (“RCRA”), 42 

U.S.C. 6901 et seq.; the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act 

(“EPCRA”), 42 U.S.C. 11004(a); and the Clean Water Act (“CWA”), 33 U.S.C. 1321(b)(3) 

and (j) for alleged violations at Koch’s 3 refineries: Pine Bend, Minnesota, and the East 

and West refineries in Corpus Christi, Texas. 

The State of Minnesota joined in the settlement as a signatory to the Consent Decree. 

On April 25, 2001, the Department of Justice filed the Consent Decree. 

The settlement required FHR to pay civil penalties and implement innovative pollution 

control technologies to greatly reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxide. 

Implementing some of these control technologies required changes to this 

Administrative Order. 

28. On January 18, 2001, EPA promulgated the “Control of Air Pollution from New Motor 

Vehicles: Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Standards and Highway Diesel Fuel Sulfur 

Control Requirements.” This rule, effective March 19, 2001, requires refiners (including 

the Pine Bend refinery) to produce diesel fuels for use in highway vehicles with a lower 

sulfur content. These fuels must be available by June 1, 2006. 

29. On March 11, 2003, the MPCA amended this Administrative Order to allow Flint Hills 

Resources LP, now Flint Hills Resources Pine Bend, LLC, to modify its refinery. The MPCA 

found that the requirements of this Order, as amended, and as imposed on FHR would 

maintain compliance with the NAAQS for sulfur dioxide in the Pine Bend area of AQCR 

131, and would allow the refinery to meet requirements established in the Consent 

Decree (Civil Action No. 00-2756-PAM-SRN) and to make lower sulfur gasoline (Tier 2 

gasoline) and lower-sulfur diesel fuels. 

30. On October 19, 2005, EPA approved this Order as amended which allowed Flint Hills 

Resources, LP now Flint Hills Resources Pine Bend, LLC, to modify its refinery in order to 
- Page 6 of 31 

meet requirements established in the Consent Decree (Civil Action No. 00-2756-PAMSRN) not addressed in the previous amendment and to make ultra low sulfur diesel fuel. 

31. On July 19, 2007, EPA approved amendments to this Order which allowed Flint Hills 

Resources, LP, now Flint Hills Resources Pine Bend, LLC, to modify its refinery in order to 

install one new process heater at the #3 Crude Unit and to account for additional SO2

emissions from refinery fuel gas combustion (72 FR 39568). 

32. The MPCA is now amending On August 29, 2011, EPA approved amendments to this 

Administrative Order to allowwhich allowed Flint Hills Resources Pine Bend, LLC, to 

modify its refinery in order to install a new boiler, to decommission 34-3 (Merox 

Thermal Oxidizer) and reroute the process gases to the existing 31H-2 furnace, to 

improve the energy efficiency of 94H-1, and to remove fuel-oil combustion from the 

modeling and calculations at certain combustion units. SO2 emission rates for refinery 

fuel gas combustion at certain emission units and heater steam-air decoking activities 

have been updated and stack exit temperature and velocity data at certain emission 

units have been updated with this amendment.

33. On March 3, 2014, EPA promulgated the “Control of Air Pollution from Motor Vehicles: 

Tier 3 Motor Vehicle Emission and Fuel Standards.” This rule requires refiners (including 

the Pine Bend refinery) to produce gasoline for use in motor vehicles with a lower sulfur 

content. These fuels must be available by January 1, 2017. 

34. The MPCA is now amending this Administrative Order to allow Flint Hills Resources Pine 

Bend, LLC to modify its refinery in order to install a new Ammonium Thiosulfate (ATS) 

Process Unit as part of the Tier 3 Clean Fuels Projects. 

33.35. This iteration of the Administrative Order eliminates previously completed or 

obsolete provisions from earlier Administrative Orders and amendments issued to FHR 

and included in Minnesota’s State Implementation Plan. 

34.36. This Order is needed to maintain the attainment status for the area. 
- Page 7 of 31

FHR is requesting the option to install and operate a total sulfur Continuous Monitoring System (CMS) on the 45 Unit refinery fuel gas mix drum as an alternative option to meeting the stack SO2 monitoring requirements. This proposed monitoring approach will not have impact on SO2 emission rates or any other modeling parameters. This proposed monitoring approach has been adopted into FHR’s Air Emission Permit No. 03700011-010 as an additional monitoringapproach, but has not been incorporated into the SO2 SIP. Additionally FHR is correcting the EU# for the 45 Unit Mix Drum in this citation. The correct EU number is EU 263 rather than EU 265, which was listed previously in the AO.

Minnesota Pollution Control Agency 

Environmental Analysis and Outcomes Division 

Public Notice of Proposed State Implementation Plan Revision 

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Commissioner of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has 

determined that the State Implementation Plan (SIP) conditions for Flint Hills Resources LLC’s Pine Bend Refinery (FHR) 

located at 13775 Clark Road, Rosemount, Dakota County, Minnesota and Northern States Power Company’s Xcel Energy 

– Inver Hills Generating Plant (Inver Hills) located at 3185 117th Street East, Inver Grove Heights, Dakota County, 

Minnesota should be amended. Both facilities are located in the Rosemount/Pine Bend area of the Twin Cities Sulfur 

Dioxide (SO2) maintenance area for the three-hour, 24-hour, and annual SO2 National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS). 

FHR is currently subject to an Administrative Order (Order) containing Title I requirements which are included in 

Minnesota’s SIP and were found necessary to demonstrate compliance with the NAAQS for SO2. Air Emission Permit No. 

03700011-012 incorporates Title I requirements for FHR that are currently included in the Order. Under its Title I 

authority, the MPCA is revising the SIP conditions and will be formally requesting that the U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) amend Minnesota’s SIP to replace the Order and its requirements with the Title I SIP conditions specified 

in Air Emission Permit No. 03700011-012, which will serve as a joint Title I SIP/Title V document. These Title I conditions 

do not expire. This SIP revision is in being conducted in conjunction with the issuance of Air Emission Permit No. 

03700011-012. This permit was placed on public notice on December 23, 2014 until January 21, 2015. The permit and 

related documentation can be found on the MPCA’s website at http://www.pca.state.mn.us/yrwc6a9, listed under 

Tuesday, December 23, 2014 (on the Archived Public Notices page after January 21, 2015). After its issuance, the permit 

will be submitted to EPA for inclusion into Minnesota’s SIP to replace the Order. Until the time that the EPA accepts 

Permit No. 03700011-012 into the SIP, the Order is in full effect and FHR must comply with all aspects of it. Once EPA 

approves Permit No. 03700011-012 into the SIP, the MPCA will revoke the Order and the joint Title I/Title V permit will 

become the applicable enforcement document. 

Inver Hills’ permit incorporates Title I requirements which are included in Minnesota’s SIP and were found 

necessary to demonstrate compliance with the NAAQS for SO2. Title I conditions in Inver Hill’s Air Emission Permit No. 

03700015-003 are already included in Minnesota’s SIP. Under its Title I authority, the MPCA is revising the SIP 

conditions for this facility and will be formally requesting that the EPA amend Minnesota’s SIP to include the new and 

revised Title I SIP conditions in Inver Hill’s Air Emissions Permit No. 03700015-004, which will serve as a joint Title I 

SIP/Title V document. These Title I conditions do not expire. Permit No. 03700015-004 was placed on public notice from 

June 2, 2014 to July 1, 2014 and the MPCA subsequently issued the permit which is the enforceable document for Inver 

Hills. The permit can be viewed on the MPCA’s website at http://www.pca.state.mn.us/index.php/viewdocument.html?gid=21400. 

The proposed SIP revision is now available for public comment. 

Background. Title I of the Clean Air Act delegates to the states the authority to manage an air quality program 

and requires attainment of the NAAQS as promulgated by the EPA. Both the FHR facility and the Inver Hills facility are 

located in the Rosemount/Pine Bend area of the Twin Cities SO2 maintenance area for the three-hour, 24-hour, and 

annual SO2 NAAQS. A maintenance area is an area which at one time failed to meet one or more NAAQS, but is now in 

compliance and has an EPA-approved plan for continued attainment. Both FHR and Inver Hills are subject to facilityspecific Title I SIP conditions to ensure continued attainment of the SO2 NAAQS. 

Purpose of the SIP revision. This SIP revision is intended to incorporate new and revised Title I conditions for 

FHR, replace the existing Order, and incorporate all Title I SIP conditions into Permit No. 03700011-012, which will serve 

as a joint Title I/Title V document. The primary purpose of this SIP revision is to add a new process to enable the 

removal and recovery of more sulfur from fuel produced at the refinery. This new process will allow FHR to produce 

gasoline that meets the EPA’s Tier 3 gasoline sulfur standard, which is designed to improve ambient air quality. Changes 

to FHR’s SIP conditions that are included in Permit No. 03700011-012 as proposed are as follows: 
· Installation of a new process to convert gas-containing sulfur and nitrogen into a stable, non-hazardous, 

aqueous liquid fertilizer, ammonium thiosulfate (ATS), which will result in a new SO2 emission point. 

· Changes to the fuel gas sulfur monitoring requirements for the 45 unit mix drum to add direct monitoring of fuel 

gas total sulfur as an additional monitoring option to the current requirement to monitor at a representative 

stack for sulfur dioxide emissions. Remove outdated requirements for monitoring H2S. 

· Incorporate new, more restrictive language reflecting FHR’s current flaring policy, which allows for flaring only in 

the event of malfunction. 

· Assorted updates that serve to clarify the requirements of the Order by removing completed requirements and 

placeholders. 

This SIP revision also incorporates revised Title I requirements for Inver Hills, held in Permit No. 03700015-004 which 

serves as a joint Title I/Title V document, into Minnesota’s SIP. The changes to Inver Hill’s SIP conditions are as follows: 

· Residual fuel oil has been removed as an allowable fuel type in accordance with the revised SIP. 

· Removed SIP limits that were terminated on the date that EPA approved the revision to the previous SIP. 

There are no SIP-relevant construction changes being made to the Inver Hills facility and therefore this proposed SIP 

revision does not authorize any new operations or emission units at that facility. 

Air dispersion modeling has been conducted to verify that the changes proposed in this notice will not have an 

adverse impact on compliance with the NAAQS for SO2.

 Minnesota Rules: Amendments and Additions

NOTICE: How to Follow State Agency Rulemaking in the State Register

 The State Register is the official source, and only complete listing, for all state agency rulemaking in its various stages. State

 agencies are required to publish notice of their rulemaking action in the State Register. Published every Monday, the State Register

 makes it easy to follow and participate in the important rulemaking process. Approximately 80 state agencies have the authority

 to issue rules. Each agency is assigned specific Minnesota Rule chapter numbers. Every odd-numbered year the Minnesota Rules

 are published. Supplements are published to update this set of rules. Generally speaking, proposed and adopted exempt rules do not

 appear in this set because of their short-term nature, but are published in the State Register.

 An agency must first solicit Comments on Planned Rules or Comments on Planned Rule Amendments from the public

 on the subject matter of a possible rulemaking proposal under active consideration within the agency (Minnesota Statutes §§ 14.101).

 It does this by publishing a notice in the State Register at least 60 days before publication of a notice to adopt or a notice of hearing,

 or within 60 days of the effective date of any new statutory grant of required rulemaking.

 When rules are first drafted, state agencies publish them as Proposed Rules, along with a notice of hearing, or a notice of intent

 to adopt rules without a hearing in the case of noncontroversial rules. This notice asks for comment on the rules as proposed.

 Proposed emergency rules, and withdrawn proposed rules, are also published in the State Register. After proposed rules have gone

 through the comment period, and have been rewritten into their final form, they again appear in the State Register as Adopted Rules.

 These final adopted rules are not printed in their entirety, but only the changes made since their publication as Proposed Rules. To see

 the full rule, as adopted and in effect, a person simply needs two issues of the State Register, the issue the rule appeared in as proposed,

 and later as adopted.

 The State Register features partial and cumulative listings of rules in this section on the following schedule: issues #1-13 inclusive;

 issues #14-25 inclusive (issue #26 cumulative for issues #1-26); issues #27-38 inclusive (issue #39, cumulative for issues #1-39); issues

 #40-52 inclusive, with final index (#1-52, or 53 in some years). An annual subject matter index for rules was separately printed usually

 in August, but starting with Volume 19 now appears in the final issue of each volume. For copies or subscriptions to the State Register,

 contact Minnesota’s Bookstore, 660 Olive Street (one block east of I-35E and one block north of University Ave), St. Paul, MN

Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)

 Environmental Analysis and Outcomes Division

Public Notice of Proposed State Implementation Plan Revision

 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Commissioner of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) has determined that the

State Implementation Plan (SIP) conditions for Flint Hills Resources LLC’s Pine Bend Refinery (FHR) located at 13775 Clark Road,

Rosemount, Dakota County, Minnesota and Northern States Power Company’s Xcel Energy – Inver Hills Generating Plant (Inver Hills)

located at 3185 - 117th Street East, Inver Grove Heights, Dakota County, Minnesota should be amended. Both facilities are located in the

Rosemount/Pine Bend area of the Twin Cities Sulfur Dioxide (SO2

) maintenance area for the three-hour, 24-hour, and annual SO2 National

Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

 FHR is currently subject to an Administrative Order (Order) containing Title I requirements which are included in Minnesota’s SIP and

were found necessary to demonstrate compliance with the NAAQS for SO2

. Air Emission Permit No. 03700011-012 incorporates Title

I requirements for FHR that are currently included in the Order. Under its Title I authority, the MPCA is revising the SIP conditions and

will be formally requesting that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) amend Minnesota’s SIP to replace the Order and its

requirements with the Title I SIP conditions specified in Air Emission Permit No. 03700011-012, which will serve as a joint Title I SIP/

Title V document. These Title I conditions do not expire. This SIP revision is in being conducted in conjunction with the issuance of Air

Emission Permit No. 03700011-012. This permit was placed on public notice on December 23, 2014 until January 21, 2015. The permit

and related documentation can be found on the MPCA’s website at: http://www.pca.state.mn.us/yrwc6a9 , listed under Tuesday, December 23, 2014 (on the Archived Public Notices page after January 21, 2015). After its issuance, the permit will be submitted to EPA for

inclusion into Minnesota’s SIP to replace the Order. Until the time that the EPA accepts Permit No. 03700011-012 into the SIP, the Order

is in full effect and FHR must comply with all aspects of it. Once EPA approves Permit No. 03700011-012 into the SIP, the MPCA will

revoke the Order and the joint Title I/Title V permit will become the applicable enforcement document.

 Inver Hills’ permit incorporates Title I requirements which are included in Minnesota’s SIP and were found necessary to demonstrate

compliance with the NAAQS for SO2

. Title I conditions in Inver Hill’s Air Emission Permit No. 03700015-003 are already included in

Minnesota’s SIP. Under its Title I authority, the MPCA is revising the SIP conditions for this facility and will be formally requesting that

the EPA amend Minnesota’s SIP to include the new and revised Title I SIP conditions in Inver Hill’s Air Emissions Permit No. 03700015-

004, which will serve as a joint Title I SIP/Title V document. These Title I conditions do not expire. Permit No. 03700015-004 was placed

on public notice from June 2, 2014 to July 1, 2014 and the MPCA subsequently issued the permit which is the enforceable document for

Inver Hills. The permit can be viewed on the MPCA’s website at http://www.pca.state.mn.us/index.php/view-document.html?gid=21400.

 The proposed SIP revision is now available for public comment.

 Background. Title I of the Clean Air Act delegates to the states the authority to manage an air quality program and requires attainment

of the NAAQS as promulgated by the EPA. Both the FHR facility and the Inver Hills facility are located in the Rosemount/Pine Bend area

of the Twin Cities SO2

 maintenance area for the three-hour, 24-hour, and annual SO2 NAAQS. A maintenance area is an area which at one

time failed to meet one or more NAAQS, but is now in compliance and has an EPA-approved plan for continued attainment. Both FHR

and Inver Hills are subject to facility-specific Title I SIP conditions to ensure continued attainment of the SO2

 NAAQS.

 Purpose of the SIP revision. This SIP revision is intended to incorporate new and revised Title I conditions for FHR, replace the

existing Order, and incorporate all Title I SIP conditions into Permit No. 03700011-012, which will serve as a joint Title I/Title V

Official Notices
(Cite 39 SR 1099) Minnesota State Register, TUESDAY 20 January 2015 Page 1099

document. The primary purpose of this SIP revision is to add a new process to enable the removal and recovery of more sulfur from fuel

produced at the refinery. This new process will allow FHR to produce gasoline that meets the EPA’s Tier 3 gasoline sulfur standard, which

is designed to improve ambient air quality. Changes to FHR’s SIP conditions that are included in Permit No. 03700011-012 as proposed

are as follows:

· Installation of a new process to convert gas-containing sulfur and nitrogen into a stable, non-hazardous, aqueous liquid

fertilizer, ammonium thiosulfate (ATS), which will result in a new SO2

 emission point.

· Changes to the fuel gas sulfur monitoring requirements for the 45 unit mix drum to add direct monitoring of fuel gas total sulfur

as an additional monitoring option to the current requirement to monitor at a representative stack for sulfur dioxide emissions. Remove

outdated requirements for monitoring H2

S.

· Incorporate new, more restrictive language reflecting FHR’s current flaring policy, which allows for flaring only in the event

of malfunction.

· Assorted updates that serve to clarify the requirements of the Order by removing completed requirements and placeholders.

 This SIP revision also incorporates revised Title I requirements for Inver Hills, held in Permit No. 03700015-004 which serves as a joint

Title I/Title V document, into Minnesota’s SIP. The changes to Inver Hill’s SIP conditions are as follows:

· Residual fuel oil has been removed as an allowable fuel type in accordance with the revised SIP.

· Removed SIP limits that were terminated on the date that EPA approved the revision to the previous SIP.

 There are no SIP-relevant construction changes being made to the Inver Hills facility and therefore this proposed SIP revision does not

authorize any new operations or emission units at that facility.

 Air dispersion modeling has been conducted to verify that the changes proposed in this notice will not have an adverse impact on

compliance with the NAAQS for SO2

Attachment 9: Completeness Review 

A. Administrative Materials (40 CFR pt. 51, Appendix V, Part 2.1) 

The EPA’s Criteria for Determining the Completeness of Plan Submittals, published at 40 CFR part 51, Appendix V, 

requires states to provide the basic documents that show that the State has properly followed the administrative 

requirements called for by the CAA for the adoption of SIPs. The requirements, and how this SIP revision complies with 

these requirements, are discussed here: 

1) Formal Letter of Submittal: 

“A formal letter of submittal from the Governor or his designee, requesting EPA 

approval of the plan or revision thereof.”

Attached to this SIP revision request is a formal letter of submittal from the MPCA Commissioner, John Linc Stine, to the 

EPA Region V Administrator, Susan Hedman. The office of the Commissioner of the MPCA is statutorily created in 

Minnesota Statute § 116.03, subd. 1 (a). The Commissioner is appointed by the Governor, and the duties of the position 

include acting as the state agent to “apply for, receive, and disburse federal funds made available to the state by federal 

law or rule and regulations promulgated thereunder for any purpose related to the power and duties of the MPCA or the 

Commissioner. The Commissioner shall comply with any and all requirements of such federal law or such rules and 

regulations promulgated thereunder to facilitate application for, receipt, and disbursement of such funds.” Minn. Stat. § 

116.03 subd. 3. 

2) Evidence of State Adoption of Plan and Issuance of Orders in Final Form 

“Evidence that the State has adopted the plan in the State code or body of regulations; 

or issued the permit, order, consent agreement (hereafter ‘document’) in final form. 

That evidence shall include the date of adoption or final issuance as well as the effective 

date of the plan, if different from the adoption/issuance date.”

Attachment 1 contains Air Emission Permit No. 03700011-012, the joint Title I/Title V permit issued to Flint Hills 

Resources. The joint Title I/Title V document includes relevant SIP conditions, labeled “Title I Condition: 40 CFR Section 

50.4, SO2 SIP; Title I Condition: 40 CFR pt. 52, subp. Y”. This Air Emission Permit became effective as soon as it was 

signed. All Title I SIP conditions are non-expiring.

3) Legal Authority Documentation: 

“Evidence that the State has the necessary legal authority under State law to adopt and 

implement the plan.”

This SIP revision request is an update to MPCA’s Pine Bend SO2 SIP. This SIP was submitted by the MPCA in July 1992 and 

approved by EPA in the Federal Register on September 9, 1994. EPA’s approval of a redesignation request for the area 

was published on May 31, 1995 (60 FR 28339). Attachment C of the initial submittal documents MPCA’s legal authority 

to submit SIP revisions and to issue, modify, and revoke permits, as well as to enforce those permits. 

On May 2, 1995, EPA approved MPCA’s revised operating permit program as a SIP revision (60 FR 21447). MPCA 

submitted the operating permit program for inclusion in the SIP in part so that permits issued under the program could 

be considered federally enforceable vehicles for imposing emissions limitations on culpable sources located in 

nonattainment areas. 

EPA’s conclusion that MPCA has the authority to issue permits with non-expiring Title I SIP conditions in order to replace 

Administrative Orders has been further documented in an April 4, 1997 letter from Michael Sandusky of the MPCA to 

David Kee of EPA Region 5, a July 3, 1997 letter from David Kee of EPA Region 5 to Michael Sandusky of the MPCA and in 
a June 15, 2006 letter from Jay Bortzer of EPA Region 5 to David Thornton of the MPCA. Copies of these letters have 

been submitted with previous SIP revisions. 

4) Compliance with State Procedures: 

“Evidence that the state followed all of the procedural requirements of the State’s laws 

and constitution in conducting and completing the adoption/issuance of the plan.”

MPCA complied with all relevant state procedures for issuing the permit as well as the SIP revision, including a public 

notice period and the opportunity to request a hearing. 

5) Public Notice: 

“Evidence that public notice was given of the proposed change consistent with the 

procedures approved by the EPA, including the date of the publication of the notice.”

The public notice for the SIP revision was published in the State Register on January 20, 2015 with the public comment 

period commencing on January 20, 2015 and ending on February 20, 2015. During the public comment period, a copy of 

the SIP revision was made available at the MPCA office located in St. Paul and on the MPCA’s website. A copy of the 

public notice is attached (Attachment 8). 

The public notice for the joint Title I/Title V permit was published in the St. Paul Pioneer Press on December 22, 2014 as 

well as on the MPCA website, with the public comment period commencing on December 23, 2014 and ending on 

January 21, 2015. During the public comment period, a copy of the permit was made available on the MPCA’s website 

and at the MPCA offices in St. Paul. A copy of the public notice is attached (Attachment 8). 

 

6) Public Hearing Certification: 

“Certification that public hearing(s) were held in accordance with the information 

provided in the public notice and the State’s laws and constitution, if applicable.”

The public notice states: “A public information meeting will only be held if one is requested by 4:30 p.m. on February 20, 

2015. If such a meeting is requested, it will be held on February 26, 2015 at 1:30 p.m. at the MPCA St. Paul Office, 520 

Lafayette Road North, St. Paul, Minnesota 55155-4194. To find out if a public information meeting will be held, please 

contact Amanda Jarrett Smith at 651-757-2486 or amanda.smith@state.mn.us after February 20, 2015 at 4:30 p.m. The 

public information meeting, if one is requested, will provide information, receive public input, and answer questions 

about the proposed SIP revision. If the public information meeting is held, additional written comments on the proposed 

documents will be accepted until 4:30 p.m. on March 6, 2015, following the same guidelines described above.”

No public meeting was requested. 

7) Public Comments and State Response: 

“Compilation of the public comments and State’s response thereto.”

No public comments on the SIP were received. 

B. Technical Support: 

1) Pollutants Regulated: 

“Identification of all regulated pollutants affect by the plan.”
The regulated pollutant subject to this SIP revision is sulfur dioxide (SO2). 

2) Source Identification 

“Identification of the locations of affected sources including the EPA 

attainment/nonattainment designation of the locations and the state of the Attainment 

Plan for the affected area(s).”

The affected source within the Pine Bend portion of the AQCR131/Twin Cities SO2 maintenance area is 

Flint Hills Resources. Further information on the facility is included in the attached modeling and Technical Support 

Documents (Attachments 2 and 3). 

3) Emissions Quantification: 

“Quantification of the changes in the plan; allowable emissions from the affected 

sources; estimates of changes in current actual emissions from affected sources or, 

where appropriate, quantification of the changes in actual emissions through 

calculations of the differences between certain baseline levels and allowable emissions 

anticipated as a result of the revision.”

The changes allowed in this SIP revision impact emissions. Quantification of the emissions changes authorized by this 

SIP revision can be found in Table 1 of the Background Document, as well as in the permit Technical Support Document 

(Attachment 2). 

4) NAAQS Protections: 

“The State’s demonstration that the NAAQS, prevention of significant deterioration 

increments, reasonable further progress demonstration, and visibility, as applicable, are 

protected if the plan is approved and implemented.”

Modeling of the proposed changes at the facility shows that the 3-hour, 24-hour, and annual SO2 NAAQS will be 

maintained (see Section 4 of the Background Document). 

Though this maintenance plan SIP revision addresses the 3-hour, 24-hour, and annual SO2 standards, section 110(l) of 

the CAA requires that a SIP revision not interfere with any applicable requirement concerning attainment or any other 

applicable requirement of the Act. For this reason, the SIP must also demonstrate that the proposed actions do not 

interfere with the 1-hour SO2 NAAQS, even though the area has not yet been designated under this standard. As agreed 

upon with the EPA, the 2010 1-hour primary NAAQS is addressed by a demonstration that the 1-hour Significant Impact 

Level (SIL) is met with Permit 03700011-012. Table 3 in the Background Document shows the 1 hour high 1st high SO2

project-only modeled results compared to the 1 hour SO2 SIL. The emissions increases resulting from the Tier 3 project 

are less than the SIL, demonstrating that its impacts are insignificant. 

5) Modeling Information 

“Modeling information required to support the proposed revision, including input data,
