INTERIM ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by Mr. Goodman):

This matter comes before the Pollution Control Board

(Board)

upon Olin Corporation’s

(Olin) May 22,

1975, petition

for a variance from Rules 204(c) (l)(A)

and 203(g) (1) (A)

and

(C)

of the Air Pollution Regulations.

The Board finds Olin’s petition to be inadequate in

that it fails to include information pertaining

to the

criteria required by Train

NRDC,

Inc.,

43 USLW 4467

(Supreme Court No. 73—1742, April 16,

1975).

Petitioner

must show:

1) Whether the ambient air quality of the area

affected by the variance meets the national ambient air

quality standards as adopted by the Board;

2)

If the ambient

air quality does not meet those standards, whether the

granting of the variance would contribute to the area’s

failure to meet said standards;

and

3)

If the ambient air

quality does meet said standards,

whether the variance would

cause the ambient air quality to fail to meet said standards.

It

is

the order of the Board that Petitioner shall

amend its petition within 45 days of this Order to provide

the above described information.

Failure to timely file the

amended petition shall cause the petition to be dismissed

for inadequacy without prejudice.

The 90-day decision

period set by Statute shall run from the date of filing the

amended petition.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
