    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by 3. Marlin):
    On May 19,
    1988,
    the Board proposed
    a rule for First Notice
    in this matter.
    The proposed rule was pubished
    in the Illinois
    Register on June
    3,
    1988.

    Ill.
    Reg.
    9337.
    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
    1,
    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
    on Administrative Rules:

    of heat input
    (7.29 lbs/mmbtu).
    b)
    CIPS shall conduct an ambient sulfur dioxide monitoring
    and dispersion modeling program designed
    to demonstrate
    that the emission standards of subsection
    (a) will not
    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
    of the
    ambient monitoring and dispersion modeling program of
    subsection
    (b),
    CIPS shall apply for
    a new operating
    permit.
    CIPS shall submit
    to the Environmental
    Protection Agency
    (Agency), at the time
    of the
    application,
    a report containing
    the results of
    the
    ambient monitoring and dispersion modeling program of
    subsection
    (b) and the results
    of all relevant stack
    tests conducted prior
    to the report’s submission.
    d)
    No later
    than six months after Coffeen
    is legally able
    and begins
    to operate at an emission rate greater
    than
    55,555 pounds
    of sulfur dioxide per hour,
    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.
