Great River Energy Peaking Plant Project Update
November 8, 2007
• After obtaining a site grading permit from the City of Elk River Building Department, site
grading work began and will continue through early December.
• Great River Energy met with Bruce West, City of Elk River Fire Chief, to review
preliminary plans for fire protection the week of October 28. Formal drawing submittals
will be made after the design is competed early next year.
• Great River Energy was told by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency that we should
not expect the air permit until mid-April. Public will have the opportunity to review and
comment on the facility's air emissions permit. No hearings are expected, but could be
scheduled if there are substantive comments.
• As part of the Certificate of Need and site permit there will be public hearings in Elk River
December 19 and then in Rosemount December 20. We will be publish notice of these
meetings and posting them on the project's page of our website at
http://www.greatriverenergy.com/projects/plants/erpeak.html
• After obtaining all necessary permits, construction is scheduled to begin this spring after
the tax exemption legislation is enacted.
