Comment Sought On Pg&E Permit

Wed., Dec. 27, 2000

From Staff

The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality is accepting public comment on an air quality permit for PG&E Gas Transmission-Northwest in Sandpoint.

The company operates a network of compressor systems that transmit natural gas from Canada to California along an underground pipeline system. The Sandpoint compressor station consists of two turbine-driven compressors that move the gas through the pipeline.

Emissions from natural gas combustion in the turbines create emissions that require the state’s permit.

Comments on this proposal must be received by Jan. 26. Requests for a hearing on the proposal must be received by Jan. 12. An information package is available at DEQ’s Coeur d’Alene regional office at 2110 Ironwood Parkway or at the East Bonner County Public Library in Sandpoint. For more information, call (208) 373-0253.
