Part 75, require the owner or operator of an affected electric generating facility to monitor and report SO2, NO,, CO2 emissions, volumetric flow and opacity data. Because this facility uses natural gas, it is exempt from the opacity monitoring requirements. 2 7. The Administrator of U.S. EPA (the Administrator) may assess a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day of violation up to a total of $200,000 for Acid Rain Program violations that occurred prior to January 31, 1997, under Section 113(d)(1) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7413(d)(1).

The Administrator must provide an opportunity to request a hearing to any person against whom the Administrator proposes to assess a penalty under Section 113(d)(2) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. § 7413(d)(2). Respondent has the right to request a hearing on any material fact alleged in the complaint, or on the appropriateness of the proposed penalty, or both. To request a hearing, Respondent must specifically make the request in its answer, as discussed in paragraphs 42 through 47 below. Answer 42. Respondent must file a written answer to this complaint if Respondent contests any material fact of the complaint; contends that the proposed penalty is inappropriate; or contends that it is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. To file an answer, Respondent must file the original written answer and one copy with the Regional Hearing Clerk at the address specified in paragraph 38, above, and must serve copies of the written answer on the other parties. 11 43. If Respondent chooses to file a written answer to the complaint, it must do so within 30 calendar days after receiving the complaint. In counting the 30 -day time period, the date of receipt is not counted, but Saturdays, Sundays, and federal legal holidays are counted. If the 30- day time period expires on a Saturday, Sunday, or federal legal holiday, the time period extends to the next business day. 44. Respondent's written answer must clearly and directly admit, deny, or explain each of the factual allegations in the complaint; or must state clearly that Respondent has no knowledge of a particular factual allegation. Where Respondent states that it has no knowledge of a particular factual allegation, the allegation is deemed denied. 45. Respondent's failure to admit, deny, or explain any material factual allegation in the complaint constitutes an admission of the allegation. 46. Respondent's answer must also state: a. the circumstances or arguments which Respondent alleges constitute grounds of defense; b. the facts that Respondent disputes; C. The basis for opposing the proposed penalty; and d. whether Respondent requests a hearing as discussed in paragraph 41 above. 47. If Respondent does not file a written answer within 30 calendar days after receiving this complaint the Presiding Officer may issue a default order, after motion, under LI 12 Section 22.17 of the Consolidated Rules. Default by Respondent constitutes an admission of all factual allegations in the complaint and a waiver of the right to contest the factual allegations. Respondent must pay any penalty assessed in a default order without further proceedings 30 days after the order becomes the final order of the Administrator of U.S. EPA under Section 22.27(c) of the Consolidated Rules. Settlement Conference 48. Whether or not Respondent requests a hearing, Respondent may request an informal settlement conference to discuss the facts of this proceeding and to arrive at a settlement. To request an informal settlement conference, Respondent may contact Karl Karg at the address or phone number specified in paragraph 39, above. 49. Respondent's request for an informal settlement conference does not extend the 30 calendar day period for filing a written answer to this complaint. Respondent may pursue simultaneously the informal settlement conference and the adjudicatory hearing process. U.S. EPA encourages all parties facing civil penalties to pursue settlement through an informal conference. U.S. EPA, however, will not reduce the penalty simply because the parties hold an informal settlement conference. M Continuing Obligation to Comply 50. Neither the assessment nor payment of a civil penalty will Date affect Respondent's continuing obligation to comply with the Act and any other applicable federal, state, or local law. e ieryl..'Nb oh, Acting Director Air d` iation Division U.S Environmental Protection agency, Region 5 77 West Jackson Boulevard Chicago, Illinois 60604 -3590 yv In the Matter of Hutchinson Utilities Commission Docket No. CAA-5- 2001-0 o6 CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE I, Loretta Shaffer, certify that I hand delivered the original and one copy of the Administrative Complaint, docket numberCM ,n 5 i® $ ! to the Regional Hearing Clerk, Region 5, United States Environmental Protection Agency, and that I mailed correct copies of the Administrative Complaint, copies of the "Consolidated Rules of Practice Governing the Administrative Assessment of Civil Penalties, Issuance of Compliance or Corrective Action Orders and the Revocation, Termination or Suspension of Permits" at 40 C.F.R.
