The permit is needed to operate the generating units when construction is completed. In its remand decision, the Circuit Court found that the administrative law judge had used an interpretation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's cooling water intake rules that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit determined in January 2007 to be inconsistent with Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act in <I>Riverkeeper, Inc. v. Environmental Protection Agency</I>.

Item 8.01. Other Events
On March 5, 2007, the Dane County (Wisconsin) Circuit Court affirmed in part, and remanded in part an administrative law judge's decision concerning the reissuance of a water intake and discharge permit relating to generating units being constructing in Oak Creek, Wisconsin, in which we have an 8.33% ownership interest. The permit is needed to operate the generating units when construction is completed. In its remand decision, the Circuit Court found that the administrative law judge had used an interpretation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's cooling water intake rules that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit determined in January 2007 to be inconsistent with Section 316(b) of the Clean Water Act in
Riverkeeper, Inc. v. Environmental Protection Agency
. We do not believe that either the Dane County Circuit Court decision or the Second Circuit decision invalidates the permit, and we plan to continue our involvement in the construction of the Oak Creek generating units. However, the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be determined at this time.
