ORDER OF THE BOARD (BY SAMUEL T. LAWTON, JR.):

A petition to remit the balance of the penalty has been filed

by Respondent. Our original Order of November 14, 1972 imposed a

penalty in the amount of $2,000 against Respondent for various open

dumping violations as found to have been committed, as set forth in

the Opinion.

On January 16, 1973, on Respondent’s Motion for Reconsideration,

we entered an Order permitting installment payment of the penalty

providing that the entire sum be remitted within one year from the

date of the Order.

The present motion to remit the balance of the penalty recites

that payment in the amount of $800 has been made and that $1,200

remains to be paid.Respondent alleges that the penalty as originally

assessed was punitive

and

not warranted under the circumstances.

No reasons

are set forth indicating in any way wherein

the

Board~s

original determination was erroneous, nor are reasons asserted that

would pursuade the Board to discharge the unpaid portion

of

the

penalty.

The petition to remit is accordingly denied.

IT IS SO

ORDERED.

I, Christan Moffett, Clerk of the Pollution Control Board, certify

that the above Order was adopted on the
