    ORDER OF
    THE
    BOARD
    (BY SAMUEL
    T.
    Id\WTON, JR.):
    Case #72—491 is an enforcement action brought against Common-
    wealth Edison’s Waukegan station.
    Case #72—492
    is an enforcement
    action brought against Edison’s Sabrooke Station, Units
    1,
    2,
    3 and 4.
    Case #73-40
    is a variance petition filed by Edison with respect to
    both
    the
    Waukegan and Sabrooke stations.
    On February 1,
    1973, we received a motion from the Company
    requesting that all three of the foregoing proceedings be consoli-
    dated into
    a single hearing proceeding.
    On February
    8,
    1973, we
    received a Motion to Sever from the Agency with respect to the
    variance proceeding,
    #73—40, asking that the two variances be
    considered at separate hearings.
    We feel that the most expeditious
    way
    to dispose of the pending
    motions and structure the hearings so as to assure procedural due
    process to the Company,
    the Agency and the public would be to have
    two separate hearings, one with respect to both the enforcement
    action and the variance petition for Waukegan and the second, with
    respect to the enforcement action and variance petition for Sabrooke.
    7—
    113
    The motion of the Company to consolidate is denied,
    in part,
    and granted,
    in part.
    The motion of the Agency
    to sever with respect
    to Case #73—40
    is
    granted.
    The Board further orders that Case *72-
    491 be consolidated with that portion of the variance petitiDn of
    #73-40 that relates to Waukegan and that #72-412 be consolidated
    with that portion of the variance petition in #73-40
    that relates
    to Sabrooke.
    The hearing officers heretofore assigned shall be
    advised of this Order by the Clerk of the Board and the respective
    hearings should be held in the vicinity of the plants involved.
    All parties may file such further pleadings and other documents
    as may be necessary to effectuate this order, without further
    order of the Board.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Christan Moffett, Clerk of the Pollution ~ntrol
