DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE

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

    In accordance with Departmental policy, 28 CFR 50.7, notice is 
hereby given that a proposed partial consent decree in United States v. 
Ohio Power Company, Civil Action No. 5:94-CV-100, was lodged on 
November 15, 1994 with the United States District Court for the 
Northern District of West Virginia. The proposed partial consent 
resolves the injunctive relief portion of this case brought under the 
Clean Air Act against Ohio Power Company, the owner and operator of an 
electrical generation facility, known as the Kammer Power Plant, 
located near Moundsville, West Virginia, and reserves the United 
States' claims for civil penalties. The proposed partial consent was 
lodged simultaneously with the filing of a complaint, which alleges 
sulfur dioxide emissions in excess of the limitation imposed under the 
federally-enforceable West Virginia State Implementation Plan, and 
seeks civil penalties and injunctive relief. The proposed partial 
consent decree requires Ohio Power Company to achieve compliance with 
the West Virginia State Implementation Plan by September 1, 1995. It 
also contains interim emission limits.
    The Department of Justice will receive, for a period of thirty (30) 
days from the date of this publication, comments relating to the 
proposed consent decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant 
Attorney General for the Environment and Natural Resources Division, 
Department of Justice, Washington, DC 20530, and should refer to United 
States v. Ohio Power Company, DOJ Ref. 90-5-2-1-1958.
    The proposed consent decree may be examined at the Office of the 
United States Attorney, Northern District of West Virginia, 1125-1141 
Chapline Street, Room 238, Wheeling, W. VA 26003; the Region III Office 
of the Environmental Protection Agency, 941 Chestnut Street, 
Philadelphia, PA 19107; and at the Consent Decree Library, 1120 G 
Street, NW., 4th Floor, Washington, DC 20005, 202-624-0892. A copy of
