DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Partial Consent Decree Pursuant to the Clean
Air Act
In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is
hereby given that a proposed partial consent decree in United States v.
Ohio Power Company, Civil Action No. 5:94-CV-100, was lodged on
November 15, 1994 with the United States District Court for the
Northern District of West Virginia. The proposed partial consent
resolves the injunctive relief portion of this case brought under the
Clean Air Act against Ohio Power Company, the owner and operator of an
electrical generation facility, known as the Kammer Power Plant,
located near Moundsville, West Virginia, and reserves the United
States' claims for civil penalties. The proposed partial consent was
lodged simultaneously with the filing of a complaint, which alleges
sulfur dioxide emissions in excess of the limitation imposed under the
federally-enforceable West Virginia State Implementation Plan, and
seeks civil penalties and injunctive relief. The proposed partial
consent decree requires Ohio Power Company to achieve compliance with
the West Virginia State Implementation Plan by September 1, 1995. It
also contains interim emission limits.
The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30)
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the
proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division,
Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and should refer to United
States v. Ohio Power Company, DOJ Ref. 90-5-2-1-1958.

Philadelphia, PA 19107; and at the Consent Decree Library, 1120 G
