PETITION OF ILLINOIS POWER

AS 92-7

COMPANY

(VERMILION POWER STATION)

)

(Adjusted Standard)

FOR ADJUSTED STANDARDS FROM 35

ILL. ADM. CODE 302.208(e)

CONCURRING OPINION (by M. Nardulli)

I respectfully concur with the majority’s opinion.

I

believe that Illinois Power has not met its burden of proof in

this proceeding and I support the denial of the adjusted

standard.

However,

I believe that the majority’s opinion

unwisely emphasizes possible future uses and Federal anti-

degradation requirements.

I believe that emphasis detracts from

the well-founded conclusion that Illinois Power has not offered

adequate proof under Section 28.1 of the Act.

I, Dorothy M. Gunn,

Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control

Board, hereby certify that the above concurring opinion was

submitted on the

/~5t~ day of

~

1993.
