    Williston Basin proposes to replace two natural gas-fired 225-
horsepower (HP) compressor units installed in 1941, two natural gas-
fired 330-HP compressor units installed in 1950, and one natural gas-
fired 1,100-HP compressor unit installed in 1970 with one electric-
driven 2,500-HP compressor unit. Williston Basin states that the new 
2,500-HP electric compressor unit will also increase the certificated 
horsepower at the Elk Basin compressor station from 4,610 HP to 4,900
