(‘‘NSPS’’) at The Detroit Edison

Company’s Conners Creek Power Plant

in Detroit, Michigan. Specifically, the

United States’ Compliant alleged that

The Detroit Edison Company (i) failed to

obtain a PSD permit prior to engaging in

extensive renovation activities that

Detroit Edison undertook in April

through June of 1998 at its Conner Creek

Power Plant in Detroit, Michigan, in

violation of 42 U.S.C. 7475, 40 CFR

52.21, and Mich. Rule 201.; (ii) failed to

obtain a Nonattainment NSR permit for

those same activities, in violation of 42

U.S.C. 7503, 40 CFR 51.165, and Mich.

Rules 201 and 221.; and (iii) failed to

provide U.S. EPA with notifications

required under Subpart A of the NSPS

prior to the renovation activities, in

violation of 40 CFR 60.7(a)(1), 60.7(a)(2),

and 60.7(a)(3).

Under the proposed stipulated

settlement order, Detroit Edison will

pay a civil penalty of $135,000 to the

Michigan, $135,000 to Wayne County,

and attorneys fees and costs of $45,000

in the consolidated actions, to resolve

the claims brought under the Clean Air
