SUPPLEMENTAL ORDER OP

THE

BOARD (BY SAMUEL T

•

aNTON, JR.)

In our Opinion and Order of October 17, 1972, extending the earlier

granted variance with respect to petitioner’s particulate emissions

from its coal fired boilers to May 30, 1973, we provide as follows:

“6

•

The Board retains jurisdiction for such other and

further Orders as

may be appropriate with respect to

sulphur dioxide emissions based upon the Agency’s

response to report on results of continuous monitoring

previously submitted by the petitioner

and

the Agency’p

capability of determining sulphur dioxide emissions on

the basis of data furnished by petitioner to the Agency.

Modification of this Order shall be considered on

petition

of either party hereto.”

The Agency’ s response has been received and is highly critical of

the methods employed in the testing procedure

and

the conclusions

reached. Clearly, substantial factual questions are raised by the

monitoring report and the Agency ‘s response. A hearing will be

held on the issue

of

contiiiuing sulphur dioxide emissions and

possible

crop

damage

in

the vicinity of petitioner’s plant. The

Board will enter such other and further orders as shall be

appropriate upon receipt of the hearing record and transcript.

It is so ordered.

I, thristan Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois

Pollution Control Bond,

certify that the above Opinion and Order was adopted on the

~N

day

of October, A. D. 1972, by a vote of

.5
