Hyperion Energy Center - Environmental Permits


Hyperion Energy Center - Environmental Permits

 

Hyperion is a Dallas-based oil company that is considering plans for building a new energy center that consists of an oil refinery and power plant (see Hyperion's web site at http://www.hyperionec.com). Hyperion officials have indicated that an area in Union County is one of several potential locations they are considering and have started submitting applications for environmental permits for that site (see Hyperion's South Dakota Files web site at http://www.hyperionec.com/files/).

 

To help disseminate this environmental permitting information, DENR will post permit applications submitted by Hyperion on this page as well as providing updates regarding the status of DENR reviews of the applications. If people want to provide comments on permit applications prior to DENR completing its review, those comments can be either e-mailed to DENR or mailed to DENR at 523 E. Capitol, Pierre, SD 57501.  Any comments submitted will become part of the permit file and will be considered by DENR staff who are involved in the review of permit applications and drafting of permits.

 

DENR has developed a document which contains commonly asked Questions and Answers.

 

A map shows the locations of all of DENR monitoring locations for air, surface water, and ground water.
