Ind. Courts - "Duke wins four of six in in EPA power plant lawsuit"

From the Dayton Business Journal this afternoon:

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana on Tuesday ruled that three power plant upgrades at the Gibson plant in Princeton, Ind., and the Beckjord Station in New Richmond, Ohio; and one at the Gallagher Station in New Albany, Ind., would not require Duke to install additional pollution controls. The court ruled in favor of the EPA on two other projects at the Gallagher Station.

The EPA originally sued Cinergy Corp. in 1999, alleging that the company, then based in Cincinnati, completed projects that did not qualify as routine maintenance and it would have to upgrade pollution controls to handle increased emissions. Cinergy merged with Duke in 2006.

The most recent ILB entry about this case was January 13th.
