    PCB 78—210
    ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL
    PROTECTION AGENCY,
    Respondent.
    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by Mr. Werner):
    The Petitioner’s Motion to Reopen the Hearing and Supplement
    the Record
    in this case
    is hereby granted.
    The Hearing Officer is
    directed
    to convene a hearing as soon as possible for the purposes
    set forth herein.
    The Respondent’s Objection to the Motion to Reopen
    the Record has been duly considered,
    and Respondent’s request that
    the Board deny Petitioner’s Motion to Reopen the Record is hereby
    denied.
    When the Petitioner introduces additional evidence concerning
    the effect of its emissions on ambient air quality standards,
    it may
    well be advisable to also address those questions and issues raised
    by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
    Similarly, when
    modeling studies are performed
    in the Decatur area to determine the
    effect of a possible increase of emissions
    at the Mt.
    Zion glass
    plant,
    the current United States Environmental Protection Agency
    Guidelines on Air Quality Models should be taken into consideration.
    In addition to the foregoing,
    in reference to the float glass
    manufacturing process,
    it would be appreciated
    if the
    Petitioner
    could make
    it crystal clear as to the flow of gases from the various
    components to the stack outlet,
    showing temperatures, weight flows
    in pounds per hour,
    and draft losses at the various critical points.
    It would also be appreciated if these data
    (as well as the data
    used in the modeling studies) were calculated in the English
    (foot-pound-second)
    system,
    instead of the metric
    (cgs)
    system, for
    our evaluation.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Christan L. Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution
    Control Board, hereby certify the above Order was adopted on
    the
    ~
    day of
    ~ilc4..iL1/JAJ/

    1979 by a vote of
