Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a site-specific revision to the Minnesota State Implementation Plan (SIP) for particulate matter less than 10 microns (PM<INF>10</INF>) for the portland cement distribution terminal owned and operated by Bulk Silos, LLC (Bulk Silos), formerly known as Lafarge North America Corporation on Childs Road Terminal (Lafarge-Childs Road Terminal) located in Saint Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota. In its June 16, 2021, submittal, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) requested that EPA approve certain conditions contained in Bulk Silos' federally enforceable state operating permit (FESOP) into the Minnesota PM SIP. The request is approvable because it satisfies the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA). MPCA's submission included an updated modeling demonstration to show the construction changes incorporated in the Title I SIP Conditions will not interfere with the ability to maintain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), as Bulk Silos' allowable PM<INF>10</INF> emissions limits will be decreased with this action.

Air Plan Approval; Minnesota; Bulk Silos FESOP Update
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve a site-specific revision to the Minnesota State Implementation
Plan (SIP) for particulate matter less than 10 microns
(PM<INF>10</INF>) for the portland cement distribution terminal owned
and operated by Bulk Silos, LLC (Bulk Silos), formerly known as Lafarge
North America Corporation on Childs Road Terminal (Lafarge-Childs Road
Terminal) located in Saint Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota. In its June
16, 2021, submittal, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)
requested that EPA approve certain conditions contained in Bulk Silos'
federally enforceable state operating permit (FESOP) into the Minnesota
PM SIP. The request is approvable because it satisfies the requirements
of the Clean Air Act (CAA). MPCA's submission included an updated
modeling demonstration to show the construction changes incorporated in
the Title I SIP Conditions will not interfere with the ability to
maintain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), as Bulk
Silos' allowable PM<INF>10</INF> emissions limits will be decreased
with this action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received in response to this
rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives such
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public
comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on
this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this
time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For
additional information, see the direct final rule which is located in
the Rules section of this Federal Register.
