DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Proposed Stipulated Order Under the Clean
Air Act
On November 6, 2024, the Department of Justice lodged a proposed
Stipulated Order with the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Missouri in the lawsuit entitled United States, et. al v.
Ameren Missouri, Civil Action No. 4:11-cv-00077-RWS (E.D. Missouri).
The proposed Stipulated Order would resolve all remaining claims of
the United States, on behalf of the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (``EPA''), and those of Plaintiff-Intervenor Sierra
Club, against Ameren Missouri (``Ameren''), regarding Clean Air Act
violations at the utility's Rush Island coal-fired power plant in
Festus, Missouri.
Under the proposed Stipulated Order, Ameren will implement two
primary mitigation projects:
(1) A project to support the distribution of stand-alone HEPA
purifier devices to residential customers within Ameren's service
territory located predominantly in Eastern Missouri, prioritizing
distribution to low-income households, and
(2) A project to promote the transition to electric school buses
for schools in the St. Louis metropolitan and surrounding areas with
the charging stations necessary to support these vehicles.
In the event certain benchmarks are not met when implementing the
HEPA purifier and electric school bus programs, Ameren will complete a
third mitigation project--administering funds for the purpose of
implementing weatherization and energy efficiency upgrades that will
reduce energy consumption by residential buildings in Ameren's service
area.
The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on
the Stipulated Order. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
Attorney General, Environment and Natural Resources Division, and
should refer to United States, et al. v. Ameren Missouri, Civil Action
No. 4:11-cv-00077-RWS, D.J. Ref. No. 90-5-2-1-09844 (E.D. Missouri).
All comments must be submitted no later than thirty (30) days after the
publication date of this notice. Comments may be submitted either by
