DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Joint Motion for Modification of Amended
Consent Decree, Which Resolved Action Under the Clean Air Act
In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, please be
advised that a proposed Joint Motion for Modification of Amended
Consent Decree was lodged on November 9, 1998, in United States v. Ohio
Power Company, C.A. No. 5:94-CV-100 (N.D.WVa), with the United States
District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia (``District
Court''). The Joint Motion extends a deadline of November 1, 1998,
contained in the Amended Consent Decree. That deadline sets forth the
date by which defendant must come into compliance at its Kammer power
plant in Marshall County, West Virginia, with the sulfur dioxide
limitation presently contained in the West Virginia State
Implementation Plan (``SIP''), in the event that the State does not
submit a revised SIP by October 1, 1999. Should the State fail to
submit the SIP by that date, defendant must comply with the current
sulfur dioxide limitation by December 31, 1999. The Amended Consent
Decree resolved an action which the United States brought in 1994
against Ohio Power under section 113 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C.
7413.
