DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


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. Comments may be 
submitted either by email or by mail:
