Back to top


AMEND PROPOSAL
NOW COMES the Proponent, the ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY (Illinois EPA or Agency), by its attorneys, and pursuant to 35
Ill. Adm. Code 101.500(e), hereby requests that the Illinois Pollution Control Board
(Board) grant the Illinois EPA leave to file a Reply to the Response to IEPA Motion to
Amend Proposal (Response) filed by Ameren Energy Generating Company,
AmerenEnergy Resources Generating Company, and Electric Energy, Inc. (Respondents)
on the basis that the Reply should be considered by the Board to prevent a material
prejudice in the consideration of, and ruling upon, the Illinois EPA's Motion to Amend
Rulemaking Proposal (Motion). In support of its Reply, the Illinois EPA states as
follows:
1.
In their Response, the Respondents requested that should the Board allow
the amended proposal, that the Board also extend the date for submitting pre-filed
testimony before the August 12 hearing to no earlier than July 28. This request, if
unresponded to, creates a material prejudice against the Illinois EPA given the November
17, 2006 deadline for submission of a State plan to the United States Environmental
Protection Agency under the Clean Air Mercury Rule.

2
2.
The Illinois EPA notes that Respondents do not object to the Motion, thus
it should be granted. However, Respondents ask for a modification to the Hearing
Officer's schedule for pre-filing testimony, and the Illinois EPA must be allowed an
opportunity to respond to such request.
3.
The Illinois EPA’s Reply, which is filed contemporaneously with this
motion for leave to file, is as short and concise as possible so as to not create any further
burden upon the Board than is necessary.
4.
The Illinois EPA is filing this motion for leave to file and the Reply as
expeditiously as possible. The Illinois EPA received service of the Response on June 6,
2006. This motion and the Reply have been prepared and filed quickly so as not to delay
the Board’s consideration of the pleadings in this case.
WHEREFORE, for the reasons stated above, the Illinois EPA hereby respectfully
requests that the Board grant the Illinois EPA leave to file a Reply to the Response.
Respectfully submitted,
ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY

ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY'S REPLY TO THE

Back to top


RESPONSE TO IEPA MOTION TO AMEND PROPOSAL
NOW COMES the Proponent, the ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY (Illinois EPA or Agency), by its attorneys, and pursuant to 35
Ill. Adm. Code 101.500(e), hereby replies to the Response to IEPA Motion to Amend
Proposal (Response) filed by Ameren Energy Generating Company, AmerenEnergy
Resources Generating Company, and Electric Energy, Inc. (Respondents). In support of
its Reply, the Illinois EPA states as follows:
1.
On May 4, 2006, the Hearing Officer issued an order that set forth prefiled
testimony deadlines and ordered that persons wishing to testify at the second hearing
scheduled for August 12, 2006, prefile their testimony by July 17, 2006.
See
, Hearing
Officer Order, May 4, 2006.
2.
On May 23, 2006, the Illinois EPA filed a Motion to Amend Rulemaking
Proposal (Motion), Motion for Leave to File Instanter Amended Testimony of James E.
Staudt, Ph.D., and Amended Testimony of James E. Staudt, Ph.D.
3.
On May 24, 2006, a pre-hearing phone conference was held to attempt to
identify and limit issues of disagreement among the participants to promote efficient use
of hearing time.
See
, Hearing Officer Order, May 24, 2006. One point of discussion
included the necessity of the Amended Testimony of James E. Staudt, Ph.D., to support
the Illinois EPA's Motion. The Motion is, at the earliest, scheduled for consideration by
the Board at the June 15 Board meeting.

2
4.
The Hearing Officer granted the Illinois EPA's Motion for Leave to File
Instanter Amended Testimony of James E. Staudt, Ph.D., and allowed the filing of the
Amended Testimony of James E. Staudt, Ph.D.
5.
On June 6, 2006, the Respondents filed their Response and did not object
to the Illinois EPA's Motion. Rather, the Respondents requested that should the Board
allow the amended proposal, that the Board also extend the date for submitting pre-filed
testimony before the August 12 hearing to no earlier than July 28.
6.
On June 6, 2006, Dynegy Midwest Generation Inc. and Midwest
Generation, LLC (Dynegy) also filed a Response to the Illinois EPA’s Motion. The relief
sought by Dynegy is similar in nature to that sought by the Respondents.
7.
On June 6, 2006, Kincaid Generation, LLC (Kincaid), also filed a
Response to the Illinois EPA’s Motion. The relief sought by Kincaid is similar in nature
to that sought by the Respondents.
8.
At the time of the May 24 pre-hearing phone conference, the Board and
the Hearing Officer were both aware of the Illinois EPA's Motion, and the Hearing
Officer acknowledged that the earliest that the Board could rule on the motion would be
at the June 15 Board meeting.
9.
The Illinois EPA notes that Respondents do not object to the Motion, thus
it should be granted.
10.
As to the Respondents’ separate request to alter the Hearing Officer's
schedule for pre-filing testimony, the concerns of Respondents can be met by allowing
additional time for submission of pre-filed testimony. Specifically, the Illinois EPA
proposes that the July 17 pre-filing of testimony deadline be moved to July 24, and the
Illinois EPA's pre-filed questions to Respondents remain due on July 31. Allowing

3
Respondents this additional time for the submission of pre-filed testimony allows the
Respondents the same period of time between receipt of pre-filed questions and the
second hearing as provided for in the May 24, 2006 Hearing Officer order. This
additional time also allows the Board to maintain the current hearing schedule as set forth
by the Hearing Officer in her order dated May 4, 2006.
WHEREFORE, for the reasons stated above, the Illinois EPA hereby respectfully
requests that should the Board grant the Illinois EPA's Motion to Amend Rulemaking
Proposal and extend the date for the submission of pre-filed testimony before the August
12 hearing to no later than July 24, 2006, with no further modification of the Hearing
Officer’s May 24, 2006 order.
Respectfully submitted,

PROTECTION AGENCY

NOW COMES the Proponent, the ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY (Illinois EPA or Agency), by its attorneys, and pursuant to 35
Ill. Adm. Code 101.500(e), hereby requests that the Illinois Pollution Control Board
(Board) grant the Illinois EPA leave to file a Reply to the Response of Kincaid
Generation (Kincaid) to the Agency's Motion to Amend Rulemaking Proposal
(Response) on the basis that the Reply should be considered by the Board to prevent a
material prejudice in the consideration of, and ruling upon, the Illinois EPA's Motion to
Amend Rulemaking Proposal. In support of its Reply, the Illinois EPA states as follows:
1.
In its Response, Kincaid requests the Board to direct the Hearing
Officer to ensure that the prefiling date for rebuttal testimony not occur until 30 days or
later after the conclusion of the cross-examination of all proponent’s witnesses, that the
prefiling date for questions related to the rebuttal testimony not occur until 14 days after
the prefiling date for rebuttal testimony, and that the second hearing not begin until 30
days or later after the prefiling date for rebuttal testimony. These requests, if
unresponded to, create a material prejudice against the Illinois EPA given the November
17, 2006 deadline for submission of a State plan to the United States Environmental
Protection Agency under the Clean Air Mercury Rule.

2.
The Illinois EPA notes that Kincaid does not object to the Motion to
Amend Rulemaking Proposal, thus it should be granted. However, Kincaid also asks for
a modification to the Hearing Officer's schedule for pre-filing testimony, questions, and
hearings, and the Illinois EPA must be allowed an opportunity to respond to that separate
request.

motion for leave to file, is as short and concise as possible so as to not create any further
