U.S. EPA Headquarters 

Urgent: Request for Release of Information 

From Docket No. EPA-HQ-OW-2009-0819 

***PROMPT RESPONSE REQUESTED***

Dear Ms. Alicea-Virella and Mr. Covington: 

The Ohio Valley Electric Corporation (OVEC) and its wholly owned subsidiary, IndianaKentucky Electric Corporation (IKEC) provided information that is being used to inform 

EPA’s development of the proposed revision of the effluent limitations guidelines and 

standards for the steam electric power generating point source (ELG Rule). OVEC’s 

Kyger Creek Station and IKEC’s Clifty Creek Station, (facility descriptions listed below), 

either responded to earlier ELG Rule questionnaires to the industry or provided 

information to you through other means, such as site visits or separate information 

requests. The specific facilities in question are as follows: 

1. Ohio Valley Electric Corporation, Kyger Creek Station, NPDES Permit No. 

0IB00005*OD – issued by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency; and 

2. Indiana-Kentucky Electric Corporation, Clifty Creek Station, NPDES Permit No. 

IN0001759 – issued by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. 

We have identified certain record documents which we believe contain information 

reported by, or derived from data or information reported by, Kyger Creek and Clifty 

Creek Stations. EPA has redacted all or portions of these documents as “confidential 

business information” (CBI).

Please include all information from these documents that relates to our facilities. For 

example, our facilities supplied information about existing control technologies. 

Through this request, we are requesting not only the control technologies information 

supplied by our facilities, but also control technologies information about our facilities 

derived from other sources, as well as all EPA-developed information relating to our 

control technologies, including EPA’s assessments of future technology choices for our 

facilities based on the various rule options. 

For each document, as appropriate, please also include: (1) a legend which explains 

each column heading and each abbreviation used throughout the entire document; and 

(2) a list of all formulas applied in the document and a legend for any abbreviations 

used in the formulas. The legend and formula information will be essential to 

understand these documents. 

We make this request without waiving any of our CBI designations. Because you are 

providing the information only to us, there is no breach of confidentiality and no waiver 

of CBI protections. Furthermore, we are not requesting CBI information, or CBI-derived 

information, from other companies that may have furnished data or information 

appearing in the listed documents. We are requesting only information related to our 

own facilities. 

We have done our best to be selective in asking for facility-specific information. The 

information we are seeking, however, is critical to our review of, and preparation of 

comments on, the proposed ELG Rule. Because there are less than 50 days left in 

the comment period, we ask that you expedite this request. 

If you have any questions about this request, please call or email me. I look forward to 

your prompt response. Thank you very much for your help. 

Sincerely, 

J. Michael Brown
