ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by 3. Marlin):

After the June 3rd publication date,
the Board received only
one public comment.
The Department of Commerce and Community
Affairs
filed
a comment on July

1988 which stated that the
proposed rule would have no effect on small businesses regulated
by the rule.
The Board notes
that the proposed
rule only
regulates Central Illinois Public Service Company’s Coffeen
Generating Station.
The Board
finds no reason to alter
the rule which was
proposed on May 19th.
The Board hereby proposes the following
amendments
for Second Notice to be filed with the Joint Committee

11.29 kilograms of sulfur dioxide per megawatt—hour
of heat input
(7.29 lbs/mmbtu).
b)
CIPS shall conduct an ambient sulfur dioxide monitoring

to demonstrate
that the emission standards of subsection

cause or contribute
to violations of any applicable
primary or secondary sulfur dioxide ambient air quality
standard as set forth
in Section 243.122.
Such ambient
monitoring and dispersion modeling program shall be
operated for at
least one year commencing no
later than
6 months after Coffeen
is legally able and begins
to
operate at
an emission rate greater
than 55,555 pounds
of sulfur dioxide per hour.
c)
No more than
15 months
after
the commencement

CIPS shall apply for
a new operating
permit.

No later
than six months after Coffeen

to operate at an emission rate greater
than
55,555 pounds

a stack test
shall
be conducted in accordance with Section
214.101(a),
in order
to determine compliance with
emission standards set forth
in subsection
(a).
After
the stack test
is conducted, the results shall be
submitted
to the Agency within
90 days.
The
requirements of this subsection do not preclude the
Agency from requiring additional stack
tests.
