Notice of Lodging of Proposed
Amended Consent Decree Under the
Clean Air Act
On June 15, 2016, the Department of
Justice lodged a proposed Amended
Consent Decree with the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of
Michigan in the lawsuit entitled United
States v. City of Wyandotte, Civil Action
No. 11–cv–12181.
In 2011, the United States entered
into a Consent Decree with the City of
Wyandotte (‘‘Wyandotte’’) to resolve
allegations under the Clean Air Act that
Wyandotte’s coal-fired electric
generating Units 7 and 8 violated the
emissions limits set forth in
Wyandotte’s Title V permit, its
Prevention of Significant Deterioration
permit, the New Source Performance
Standards, and the federally enforceable
Michigan State Implementation Plan.
After entry of the Consent Decree,
Wyandotte violated several provisions
of the original Consent Decree,
including failing to submit required
reports. Additionally, Wyandotte made
some operational changes. Under the
proposed Amended Consent Decree,
Wyandotte will pay $425,000 in
stipulated penalties, restrict Unit 7 to
burning only natural gas, and retire Unit
8.
The publication of this notice opens
a period for public comment on the
Amended Consent Decree. Comments
should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and
Natural Resources Division, and should
refer to United States v. City of
Wyandotte, D.J. Ref. No. 90–5–2–1–
09346. All comments must be submitted
no later than thirty (30) days after the
publication date of this notice.
