ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by B.

Forcade):

On March

1,

1984,

Pheem

moved this Board to reconsider the

January 26, 1984 Order in this case.

Rheem requested that the

240,000 lbs/yr VOC limitation of Condition #2 be deleted or

modified to 3,951 lbs/day.

The record here does not contain

positive statements that 3,951 lbs/day will not interfere with

attainment or maintenance of the National Ambient Air Quality

Standard for ozone.

If

Rheem

believes that number is supportable,

it is free to file another petition and provide justification for

its claim.

However, the present record is tied to a 20

reduction

in 1982 solvent useage,

i.e.,

240,000 lbs/yr.

Accordingly, the

Board imposed that limitation.

Rheem asserts this Board has no authority to limit Rheem’s

production.

Section 35 of the Environmental Protection Act

precludes variances that will cause air quality violations

Rheem’s statements of non—violation are tied to 240,000 lbs/yr

(Pet, par.

10).

The motion for reconsideration is granted, the motion to

modify is denied.

IT

IS SO ORDERED.

I,

Christan L. Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution

Control Board, hereby certify that the above Order was adopted on
