    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.
