OLIN CORPORATION,
(East Alton,
Petitioner,
v.
)

Respondent.
SUPPLEMENTAL OPINION AND
ORDER
OF THE BOARD
(by D. Satchell):
On December
18, 1980 the Board granted Olin Corporation
(Olin)
a variance from the water quality standard for copper of Rule
203(f)
of Chapter
3:
Water Pollution for Olin’s discharges to
Wood River and tributaries.
On January 22,
1981 Olin filed a motion
for modification and on February 5, 1981 the Board requested addi-
tional information.
On March 23,
1981 Olin provided the requested
data.
The
Board
granted
a
variance
for
Olin’s
discharges
001
and
015.
Upon reconsideration it became apparent that Olin had re-
quested a variance for discharges 001 through 015 and that the peti-
tion had been inadequate in its description of the discharge points.
Two
separate
wastewater
systems
are
involved.
Zone
17
waste—
water
is treated in one plant which discharges via 001.
Wastewater
from Zones
1,
2,
3,
4,
5 and
7 is apparently collected for treat-
ment in the Zone
6 wastewater treatment plant, which discharges via
006
and
015.
In
addition
there
are
twelve
other
discharge
points
which
are
associated
with
the areas tributary to Zone
6.
Discharges
007,
008, Oil and 012 discharge only stormwater.
The remaining dis-
charges are combinations of stormwater, cooling water,
steam con-
densate and overflow from the system tributary to Zone
6.
The Order of December 18, 1980 is withdrawn.
This Supplemental
Opinion and Order supplements the Opinion and replaces the Order of
that date.
