ORDER

On November

9, 1970, the

Environmental Protection Agency filed

a complaint against Granite

City

Steel Company, alleging that for several

years Granite City Steel has caused or allowed emissions from its inte-

grated steel facilities located near Granite City, Illinois to violate

certain provisions of the Air Pollution Control Act, the Environmental

Protection Act and the Rules and Regulations Governing the Control of

Air Pollution. After extensive pre-trial discovery, Motions, Briefs and

arguments, and following some thirty days of hearings during which time

the Agency presented a portion of its case, the Agency and Granite

City Steel Company entered into a Stipulation by which they propose to

settle this case. The Stipulation was presented to the Board pursuant

to Rule 333 of the Board’s Procedural Rules.

After consideration of the Stipulation and Proposed Order pre-

sented by the parties, and after considering the evidence presented

at the hearings held so far, the Board adopts as its Order the agree-

ment and program stipulated to by the parties, including Exhibits A
