DISSENTING OPINION (by J.D. Dumelle):

My reason for dissenting lies in the inadequacy of the

materials furnished. There is no estimate of the peak SO2 levels

that will be reached down wind, especially under downwash

conditions. There is no statement by either Indian Refining or by

IEPA that the Federal National Ambient Air Quality Standards

(“NAAQS:) will not be exceeded. There is no statement that the

2400 lbs of SO2 per hour limit is related to air quality or to the

process weight rule.

Failing these assurances in the record, which I believe are

necessary before the Board may act, I respectfully dissent.
