ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by M. Nardulli):
This matter comes before the Board on
a petition for review
filed on December 23,
1991.
On June 25,
1993, petitioner filed a
status
report
pursuant
to
an
April
22,
1993
Board
order.
Petitioner reports that at the time the permit was issued, USEPA
had not concluded its review of
a chemical industry study on the
toxicity of bromine biocides.
Petitioner asserts that since the
permit appeal in this matter was filed, USEPA has determined with
more precision the levels at which bromine may have toxic effects.
The
ststus
report
states
that
the
parties
are
conducting
negotiations
in an attempt to reach an agreement on this matter.
Petitioner understands that the Agency intends to issue a proposed
modified
NPDES
permit
for
the
Cordova
facility.
Petitioner
anticipates that
it will withdraw this appeal when the modified
permit for the Cordova facility becomes final.
The Board accepts petitioner’s status report.
The Board notes
with concern that the Agency has failed to file a status report and
has therefore not complied with the Board’s April 22,
1993,
order
which directed both parties to
a
file
a
status
report with the
Board.
The Board directs the petitioner and the Agency to file
separate status reports to be received by the Board no later than
September
1,
1993.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
