DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Modified Consent Decree Pursuant to the 
Clean Air Act

    Notice is hereby given that on August 11, 2009, a proposed modified 
Consent Decree in United States et al. v. Ohio Edison Co., et al., 
(S.D. Ohio), No. C2-99-1181, was lodged with the United States District 
Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The proposed modified Decree 
is incorporated within a Joint Motion to Modify Consent Decree with 
Order Modifying Consent Decree, filed the same day in the same court.
    Under the proposed modified Consent Decree, Ohio Edison agrees to 
repower one of its coal-fired power plants--the R.E. Burger Generating 
Station Units 4 and 5 (``Burger'') near Shadyside, Ohio--using 
primarily renewable biomass fuel. The agreement, joined by the States 
of New York, Connecticut and New Jersey, modifies a 2005 consent decree 
requiring reductions in Ohio Edison's emissions of sulfur dioxide 
(``SO<INF>2</INF>'') and nitrogen oxide (``NO<INF>X</INF>''). The 
modified decree will substantially reduce emissions of SO<INF>2</INF> 
and NO<INF>X</INF> from Burger's current levels and significantly 
reduce net carbon dioxide emissions from current levels.
    The Department of Justice will receive for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication comments relating to the 
modified Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and 
either e-mailed to <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#b1c1c4d3d2dedcdcd4dfc59cd4d4c29fd4dfc3d5f1c4c2d5dedb9fd6dec7"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="60101502030f0d0d050e144d0505134e050e1204201513040f0a4e070f16">[email protected]</span></a> or mailed to P.O. Box 
7611, U.S. Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20044-7611, and should
