    OPINION
    2\ND
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by Mr. Henss):
    On March 14, 1974 National By—Products, Inc. was granted
    a variance from Section 9(a) of the Environmental Protection
    Act and Rule 802(b) of the Air Pollution Control Regulations
    for its Decatur rendering plant until August 15, 1974. The
    variance was made subject to certain conditions, including
    the construction of a cover over the hotwell and theevaluation
    of odors after installation of the hotwell cover. Paragraph 2
    of the Order stated:
    “The installation of the hotwell cover and sub-
    sequent routing of all noncombustible gasses from
    the hotwell to the plant boiler shall be completed
    not later than June 1, 1974”.
    Subsequently, the Company reported that it lost thirty
    days of construction time because of unusually heavy rains and
    floods. The Company requested a thirty day extension for
    completion of Item 2 of the Board Order and stated that the
    hotwell cover program could be completed by July 1, 1974.
    This is a request which can be allowed without extending
    the variance which was originally granted to August 15, 1974.
    The Board considers this to be a Motion Subsequent to Entry of
    Final Order and not a new variance request.
    The Agency sent an investigator to the plant and found that
    the facts stated by Petitioner are accurate. The Agency recommends
    that we grant Petitioner’s Motion.
    The Board finds that Petitioner is not at fault in this thirty
    day delay and the extension of time should be allowed.
