1.             On January 11, 2006, KDHE and MGP entered into
Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAO) for Case No. 04-E-0034, attached
and incorporated herein by reference.


 


2.             Within paragraph 29 of the CAO, MGP agreed to accept
a source-wide VOC cap of 95 tons based on a 12 month rolling average.  MGP has failed to maintain continuous
compliance with the VOC cap.


 


3.             Within paragraph 30 and 31 of the CAO, MGP agreed to
conduct a performance test on the DDGS dryer annually and all other units in
accordance with Attachment 2 of the CAO, which requires a test annually for
three years and then a reduced frequency based on the results of the
testing.  Since MGP entered into the CAO
on January 11, 2006 annual performance tests were conducted late for units

agreed to monitor the pressure drop across Scrubbers S1567, S1402, S1480, and
S1702 daily.  MGP failed to monitor the
pressure drop until the first calendar quarter of 2008.


 


5.             Within paragraph 39 of the CAO, MGP agreed to apply
for a federally enforceable construction permit within 180 days after the
execution of the CAO to incorporate provisions of the CAO.  As of the date of this agreement MGP has
failed to apply for a federally enforceable construction permit.

B.            MGP shall conduct performance testing on the Swiss

C.            MGP shall conduct performance testing on Boiler #6,

considered an admission of any fact or an acknowledgement of any liability by
MGP.


 


10.           Pursuant to K.S.A. 65-3018 and K.S.A. 65-3025, it is
the intent of KDHE to assess a civil penalty in this matter.  MGP shall pay a civil penalty in the amount
of $66,000 for the violations of the CAO. 
As mutually agreed, this civil penalty will be paid in three payments of
$22,000 each, with the first payment due no later than 30 days after the

The second payment of $22,000 is due not later than 90 days after the
execution date of the Amendment 1 to the CAO, and the third and final payment
