    PROTECTION AGENCY
    Supplemental Order
    (by Mr.
    Currie):
    Our order of September
    iu,
    1971, placed limits on the
    operation of units 1-3
    at the Wood River plant, whose
    aim was
    to petmit use of these extremely offensive units only when
    other power sources
    are unavailable.
    The company asks that
    we clarify or amend that order to make clear that it is permissible’
    for the company, during intermittent
    low-load testing from
    November
    29
    to December
    10,
    1971
    of the Cat-Ox control system
    being installed on an adjacent unit,
    to use units
    1—3
    if other
    sources are
    not available.
    The Agency has no objection
    to the
    motion.
    The tests
    are necessary in order to determine the effective-
    ness of the important and relatively new Cat-Ox system, which is
    significant not only for the success of this particular installation
    but
    for the nationwide future of sulfur dioxide and particulate
    control.
    The unavailability of unit
    4 during such
    an abbreviated
    period is entirely in the spirit of what we contemplated
    in
    the original order, and themotion
    is hereby granted.
    I, Christan Moffett, Acting Clerk of the Pollution Control Board,
    certify that the Board adopted the above Supplementary Order
    this
    7
    day of December,
    1971,
    3—217
