Natural Gas Pipeline Technology Overview
The pipeline transmission system — the “interstate highway” for natural gas — consists of 180,000 miles of high-strength steel pipe varying in diameter, normally between 30 and 36 inches in diameter. The primary function of the transmission pipeline company is to move huge amounts of natural gas thousands of miles from producing regions to local natural gas utility delivery points. These delivery points, called “city gate stations,” are usually owned by distribution companies, although some are owned by transmission companies. Compressor stations at required distances boost the pressure that is lost through friction as the gas moves through the steel pipes (EPA 2000).

Northern Lights, Owatonna Compressor Station, Air Emissions Permit
The Owatonna Compressor Station is used to pressurize natural gas in order to facilitate its transmission through a pipeline system. The facility consists of a 16,000 BHP natural gas-fired turbine and one emergency generator. The facility is subject to a New Source Performance Standard for the turbine, and therefore requires a permit.

Northern Lights, North Branch Compressor Station, Air Emissions Permit
Northern Natural Gas Company operates a compressor station in North Branch to pressurize natural gas in order to facilitate its transmission through the pipeline system. The facility was built in 1966. The North Branch facility consists of four (4) natural gas-fired reciprocating engines to drive the pipeline natural gas compressors (all four are Worthington ML-7 2-stroke lean burn engines rated at 2,000 horsepower), a diesel-fired emergency generator (a Kohler D300 engine rated at 462 horsepower), and a natural gas fired boiler rated at 3.35 MMBtu/hr. The compressors pressurize the natural gas in the pipeline causing it to flow to the next compressor station. The primary emissions are nitrogen oxides (NOx) and greenhouse gasses (CO2e) from the reciprocating engines. Emissions are not controlled. The facility also has equipment that qualifies as insignificant activities under Minn. R. 7007.1300, subparagraphs 3 and 4. This permit is a reissuance of the Title V operating permit. In this permit, EU 005 (the natural gas-fired auxiliary generator engine) has been removed from the list of permitted facilities. Federal NESHAP requirements for the emergency generator and the boiler have been added.

Northern Lights, Hugo Compressor Station, Air Emissions Permit
The facility will use a 7229 hp natural gas-fired turbine to compress natural gas in a pipeline. The facility will operate an emergency generator as a backup for electrical power. Uncontrolled emissions from the facility are less than the thresholds for all criteria pollutants. However, the natural gas-fired turbine is subject to 40 CFR pt. 60, subp. GG and the Permittee will therefore receive a state operating permit.

Apex Expansion Project, Final Environmental Impact Statement
The purpose of the Apex Expansion Project is to transport an additional 266 million cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) of natural gas on Kern River’s existing pipeline system from southwestern Wyoming to Nevada. Dependent upon Commission approval, Kern River proposes to begin construction in the fall 2010 and place the facilities into operation in November 2011. Kern River proposes to construct and operate: • approximately 27.6 miles of 36 – inch – diameter natural gas transmission pipeline loop extending southwest in Utah from Morgan County through Davis County to Salt Lake County • one new 30,000 horsepower compressor station (known as Milford Compressor Station) in Beaver County, Utah; • modifications to four existing compressor stations to add additional compressor (the Coyote creek Compressor Station located in Uinta County, Wyoming; the Elberta Compressor Station located in Utah County; and the Dry Lake Compressor Station located in Clark County, Nevada); • six mainline valves (four new and two existing that require modifications;) and • three pig launcher and two pig receiver facilities

Northern Lights 2017 Expansion Project
Project Overview Northern Natural Gas Company has announced its intention to construct and operate certain pipeline facilities in support of its customer’s growth requirements for natural gas. The Northern Lights 2017 Expansion project is a part of Northern’s commitment to a multi-year expansion project for its customers through 2026. The 2017 expansion includes plans to construct approximately 4.8 miles of 8- and 12-inch-diameter branch line loop extensions in Sherburne and Isanti counties, Minnesota. Northern also will, as part of the Project, install and operate an additional 15,900-horsepower (hp) ISO-rated compressor unit at its existing Faribault compressor station in Rice County, Minnesota. Northern will also make modifications to its town border stations and ancillary and appurtenant facilities. The proposed facilities are required to serve markets for industrial, commercial, and residential use that cannot be met by Northern’s existing infrastructure. The Project, as proposed, will allow Northern to transport an incremental peak day firm service load of approximately 76,000 decatherms per day (Dth/day) through the addition of the pipeline and compression facilities on Northern’s existing system. An open season was held in October 2015 to affirm and quantify market growth opportunities, to solicit interest for firm transportation service, and to identify the need to construct facilities necessary to deliver firm transportation service to Northern’s system north of Ventura, Iowa, for service commencing on or after November 1, 2017. http://www.northernnaturalgas.com/expansionprojects/Pages/NorthernLights2017.aspx
