DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Joint Stipulation To Modify Consent 
Decree Under the Clean Air Act

    On December 16, 2015, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Joint Stipulation to Modify Consent Decree (Joint Stipulation) with the 
United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana in 
the lawsuit entitled United States v. Southern Indiana Gas & Electric 
Company, Civil Action No. IP99-1692 C-M/F.
    The proposed Joint Stipulation will modify a Consent Decree entered 
on August 13, 2003, which resolved Clean Air Act (CAA) claims of 
Plaintiff, the United States of America, against Defendant, Southern 
Indiana Gas & Electric Company (SIGECO), at its F.B. Culley Generating 
Station (Culley Station) in Newburgh, Indiana. Under the proposed Joint 
Stipulation, SIGECO has agreed, among other things, to construct and 
permanently operate sorbent injection systems at both Culley Station 
and its nearby A.B. Brown Generating Station to mitigate sulfuric acid 
emissions and meet specified

emission limits at those plants. The proposed stipulation also resolves 
a CAA Notice of Violation issued to SIGECO by the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on November 7, 2011.

the Joint Stipulation. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
