CONCURRING OPINION (by B, Forcade)~

While generally in agreement with the majority opinion,

I

would establish a limitation

on

the

total amount of volatile

organics emitted from this source as a condition of the variance.

Additionally,

I would establish as a condition specific reduced

VOC

content limitations

for Acme~scoatings

to be achieved by

specific dates,

i.e.,

steps towards ultimate compliance with

existing VOC limitations on coatings.

Neither Acme nor the

Agency

provided

the Board with such

interim limits,

However, since

the

imposition

of conditions by

this Board is a quasi—legislative function requiring less factual

support from the record,

I would impose maximum

VOC

content

limitations of 3,88 lbs. VOC/gallon and 4,88 lbs. VOC/gallon

for

exterior and interior coatings respectively

—

December

31, 1984.

This splits the difference between present

VOC levels and the regulatory limitations midway

through the

variance.

If these

levels are not appropriate either party could

inform the Board what

levels should be established,

I,

Christan L.

Clerk of the Illinois

Pollution

Control Board, hereby certify that the above Concurring Opinion
