DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

Notice of Lodging of Proposed Stipulated Order Under the Clean 
Air Act

    On November 6, 2024, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed 
Stipulated Order with the United States District Court for the Eastern 
District of Missouri in the lawsuit entitled United States, et. al v. 
Ameren Missouri, Civil Action No. 4:11-cv-00077-RWS (E.D. Missouri).
    The proposed Stipulated Order would resolve all remaining claims of 
the United States, on behalf of the United States Environmental 
Protection Agency (``EPA''), and those of Plaintiff-Intervenor Sierra 
Club, against Ameren Missouri (``Ameren''), regarding Clean Air Act 
violations at the utility's Rush Island coal-fired power plant in 
Festus, Missouri.
    Under the proposed Stipulated Order, Ameren will implement two 
primary mitigation projects:
    (1) A project to support the distribution of stand-alone HEPA 
purifier devices to residential customers within Ameren's service 
territory located predominantly in Eastern Missouri, prioritizing 
distribution to low-income households, and
    (2) A project to promote the transition to electric school buses 
for schools in the St. Louis metropolitan and surrounding areas with 
the charging stations necessary to support these vehicles.
    In the event certain benchmarks are not met when implementing the 
HEPA purifier and electric school bus programs, Ameren will complete a 
third mitigation project--administering funds for the purpose of 
implementing weatherization and energy efficiency upgrades that will 
reduce energy consumption by residential buildings in Ameren's service 
area.
    The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on 
the Stipulated Order. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and 
should refer to United States, et al. v. Ameren Missouri, Civil Action 
No. 4:11-cv-00077-RWS, D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-2-1-09844 (E.D. Missouri). 
All comments must be submitted no later than thirty (30) days after the 
publication date of this notice. Comments may be submitted either by
