23204 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 94 / Monday, May 18, 2009 / Notices 

the Prairie Rivers Network—and Dynegy 

Midwest Generation (‘‘DMG’’). 

The proposed modifications affect 

Section I of Appendix A, Mitigation 

project Requirements, under which 

DMG is required to complete 

installation of Advanced Truck Stop 

Electrification (‘‘ATSE’’), preferably at 

State of Illinois-owned rest areas along 

Illinois interstate highways in the St. 

Louis Metro-East area. In accordance 

with this requirement, in 2006, DMG 

arranged for the development of 81 

electrification units at one facility in 

East St. Louis, spending approximately 

$959,293 of the $1.5 million required 

project dollars. Thereafter, DMG 

encountered difficulties implementing a 

second ATSE project site and, in 

December, 2007, the Court extended the 

deadline for completion of the ATSE 

project for one year (i.e., until December 

31, 2008) in recognition of the 

difficulties in securing a second truck 

stop location. By July, 2008, the Parties 

concluded that, despite diligent efforts, 

DMG was unable to complete the ATSE 

project, and thereafter agreed to seek 

modification of the Consent Decree to 

provide for an alternative environmental 

mitigation project to spend the balance 

of the project dollars. To this end, the 

Parties have agreed to two related 

modifications to the Consent Decree. 

First, the Parties have agreed that DMG 

may have until May 31, 2011 to 

complete an approved mitigation project 

with the remaining $540,707. Second, 

the Parties have agreed to require DMG 

to spend these funds to retrofit dieselpowered, in-service, school bus and 

municipal vehicles with technology to 

reduce emissions of PM, VOC and/or 

NOX. This work will be facilitated by 

Illinois EPA, through that agency’s 

‘‘Illinois Clean School Bus Program’’ or 

the ‘‘Illinois Clean Diesel Grant 

Program,’’ and will be aimed at eligible 

fleets in southwestern Illinois. DMG’s 

Baldwin Power Station is located in 

Randolph County, and the intent of the 

Parties is to retrofit fleets to reduce 

emissions as near to the plant as 

possible.
