    SUPPLEMENTAL STATEMENT (by Mr. Dumelle):
    The petitioner
    has
    been ordered by the Board to
    investigate and, if feasible, implement a sulfur dioxide abate-
    ment program.
    The Board’s sister agency, the Institute for Environmental
    Quality, has published two reports which may be of assistance.
    The Report on Abatement Strategies for Sulfur Dioxide
    Emissions from Stationary Sources was published in September,
    1971. The second report is titl~d Sulfur Dioxide Control
    Process Study- -Sodium Scrubbing with Lime Regeneration and
    was done by Arthur D. Little, Inc., in January,. 1972.
    In addition to the above reports, the petitioner should
    examine the Swedish experience with the AB Bahco unit which
    has been used for sulfur dioxide removal from boilers in a
    hospital in Stockholm. This is a wet limestone scrubbing
    system and is licensed to Research Cottrell in the United States.
    It seems available in units that will handle the equivalent
    of 8 megawatts (8,000 Kw). (See Board Exhibit 75 in R7l-23).
