INFORMATION <br />Great River Energy Peaking Plant Project Update <br />November 8, 2007 <br />• After obtaining a site grading permit from the City of Elk River Building Department, site <br />grading work began and will continue through early December. <br />• Great River Energy met with Bruce West, City of Elk River Fire Chief, to review <br />preliminary plans for fire protection the week of October 28. Formal drawing submittals <br />will be made after the design is competed early next year. <br />• Great River Energy was told by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency that we should <br />not expect the air permit until mid-April. Public will have the opportunity to review and <br />comment on the facility's air emissions permit. No hearings are expected, but could be <br />scheduled if there are substantive comments. <br />• As part of the Certificate of Need and site permit there will be public hearings in Elk River <br />December 19 and then in Rosemount December 20. We will be publish notice of these <br />meetings and posting them on the project's page of our website at <br />http://www.greatriverenergy.com/projects/plants/erpeak.html <br />• After obtaining all necessary permits, construction is scheduled to begin this spring after <br />the tax exemption legislation is enacted. <br />• Feel free to contact me with any further question you or residents might have: <br />David Ranallo <br />Project Communications Coordinator, Great River Energy <br />P: 763-241-2388 <br />
