DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE


Notice of Lodging of Proposed Consent Decree Under the Clean Air 
Act

    On August 31, 2020, the U. S. Department of Justice (DOJ) lodged a 
proposed Consent Decree with the United States District Court for the 
Southern District of Indiana in United States and State of Indiana v. 
Indianapolis Power & Light Company, Civil Action No. 3:20-cv-202. The 
lodging of the proposed Decree immediately followed DOJ's filing in the 
same court of a civil complaint (Complaint) against Indianapolis Power 
& Light Company (IPL).
    The proposed Consent Decree resolves Clean Air Act and related 
State law claims in the Complaint by the United States on behalf of the 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and the State of Indiana, by the 
authority of the Attorney General of Indiana, acting at the request of 
the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. Under the proposed 
Decree, IPL agrees, among other things, to undertake measures to reduce 
pollutant emissions and improve its environmental compliance at the 
Petersburg Generating Station (Facility) in Pike County, Indiana. In 
addition, IPL will pay a civil penalty, perform a mitigation project 
proposing a new, non-emitting source of power to serve the Facility's 
internal load, and conduct a State-only Environmentally Beneficial 
Project.

the proposed Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the
