HARRISBURG - House Appropriations Committee Republican Chairman Jim Struzzi (R-Indiana) today submitted public comments in strong support of the proposed Consent Decree between the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Keystone-Conemaugh Projects, LLC (Key-Con), operator of the Keystone and Conemaugh Generating Stations.
