Intervenor,
v.
GRANITE CITY STEEL DIVISION OF
NATIONAL STEEL CORPORATION,
Respondent.
DISSENTING STATEMENT (by J.D.
Dumelle):
The majority in its Order allows the Intervenor to amend
three counts.
Yet it inconsistently states that “No new issues
are raised, so the Intervenor has taken the case as she found
it.”
Does not the amending of the three counts introduce “new
issues”?
The case “as she found it” is that within the four
corners of the original eomplaint filed August
28,
1978.
Inter-
vention was on February 25, 1980.
I agree that the Board is not barred
from
allowing amendments
to the three counts.
My Concurring Opinion (with Board Member
Donald Anderson) of September
2,
1982 points out that “further
delay in cleaning up the air in Granite City” will result from
these amendments.
This enforcement case in one of the most polluted cities
in Illinois is now in its fifth year.
It~.hasalready been delayed
too long.
