## Summary

Part of HQ initiative against coal fired utilities for NSR violations. The original complaint filed was on 11/03/1999 which included other facilities.  Case stayed pending settlement negotiations.

The Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency initiated a $93 million settlement with Duke Energy to resolve violations of the Clean Air Act at the Gallagher coal-fired power plant in New Albany, Indiana, directly across the Ohio River from Louisville, Kentucky.  The settlement requires Duke to spend approximately $85 million to cut sulfur dioxide pollution at the Gallagher plant, to fund an additional $6.25 million for environmental mitigation projects such as investments in new hydro power generation, and to pay a $1.75 million penalty. Overall, the settlement is anticipated to reduce sulphur dioxide emissions at the Gallagher Plant by about 34,770 tons per year, an 86% reduction in emissions when compared to 2008 emissions.
