    ORDER
    OF
    THE
    BOARD
    (by
    Mr.
    Dumelle):
    On January 2, 1980 the Agency requested modification of
    the Order entered in this matter on November 29, 1979.
    The
    Agency asked that Paragraph 1 of the Order be changed to
    permit suspension of chlorination 180 days after
    Petitioner’s NPDES permits are modified.
    The Board agrees
    that this change is appropriate.
    The Agency also asked that
    Paragraph 3 of the Order be changed to provide that
    Petitioner shall resume chlorination even if the Board acts
    favorably on the Agency’s proposal in R77—12, Docket D.
    The
    Board does not agree with this change.
    If the Board adopts
    the Agency’s proposal in R77’-12, Docket D, Petitioner’s
    obligation to resume chlorination will be based on
    contractual obligations beyond the scope of this variance.
    In Paragraph 4 of the Order the Board requested a
    report
    on
    the
    extent
    of
    wading
    and canoeing for a distance
    of 20 miles downstream of Petitioner’s discharges.
    In
    Paragraph 5 of the Order the Board retained jurisdiction to
    review this report.. On December 28, 1979 the report was•
    filed with the Board.
    Consequently Paragraphs 4 and 5 of
    the Order need not be retained.
    The Board’s Order dated November 29, 1979 is hereby
    amended to read as follows:
    It is the Order of the Pollution Control Board that
    Petitioner be granted a variance
    from
