CITY OF~MQNMOUTU

Opinion and Order on Motion for Rehearing

(by Mr.

Currie)

Monmouth was found to have caused air pollution and ordered

to follow

a program of hydrogen sulfide control and

to pay

a

money penalty

(Jan.

6,

1972).

The City

asks

a rehearing,

largely on the basis

çf

.t~

disagreement with our decision.

We will not relitigate matters already decided except upon

a

strong showing or extraordinary circumstances, which are not

present here.

The City alleges that

it has new evidence

as

to the effect of chemicals

in controlling emissions from

the lagoon.

If so

it is welcome

to submit

a revised program

for achieving the abatement of the nuisance,

if it feels

such a revision is justified,

in the form of

a petition for

variance from the order.

But there are insufficient, allegations

in the present motion to permit us to do more

than speculate as

to whether or not that

is what Nonmouth has

in mind.

The

motion

is therefore denied.

I, Christan Moffett, Clerk of the Pollution Control ~oard,

certify that the Board adopted the above Opinion and Order

this
