INTERIM ORDER OF THE

BOARD

(by Mr.

Zeitlin):

The Petition for Variance filed January

5,

1976, in this matter

is deficient in several respects.

First,

the Petition fails to detail

fully

the relationship

between this and any previous Variance cases heard by this Board on

the facility which is the subject of this matter.

The Petition should

cite and incorporate by reference any applicable prior case.

Second,

the Petition gives particulate emission figures which it

states are “depending on the interpretation of the Regulations for

calculating the Process Weight Rate” without detailing that “inter-

pretation” sufficiently.

In conformity with Procedural Rule 401,

the

basis for Petitioner’s estimate of emissions must be fully described.

Third,

the Petition fails to conform fully to the remaining

sections of Procedural Rule 401.

While adequate reference to a prior

case

may cure this defect,

the Petition is now inadequate.

Fourth,

the Petition fails

to show whether the grant of this

Variance would cause or contribute to

a failure to attain or maintain

the applicable ambient air quality standards in the area which would

be affected.

Petitioner shall amend its Petition within 45 days of the date

of this Interim Order to provide the above described information.

Failure to timely file an Amended Petition shall cause the Petition

to be dismissed for inadequacy.

The 90-day decision period set by

statute shall run from the date of filing the Amended Petition.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dr. Donald Satchell abstained.

I, Christan L. Moffett,
