ORDER

OF

THE

BOARD

(by Mr.

Goodman):

On

April

28.

1977,

the parties

herein

submitted a Motion for

Partial

Relief

from Final Order adopted by the Board

in this matter

on

September

13,

1976.

The parties have submitted the Motion pur-

suant

to

Rule

334

of the Board’s Procedural Rules based upon newly

discovered

evidence

which

could

not

have

been

discovered

prior

to

the

Board~s

final

Order herein.

Specifically, the parties indicate

that

they

have

learned

that

the

remaining

life

of

Batteries

“A”

and

“B”,

upon

which

particulate

control

devices

were

to

be

installed,

are

foreshortened

to

the

extent that particulate control devices

could not

be

installed

before

Battery

“B”

would

be

out

of

service

and

Battery

“A”

would

have only a few remaining months of life.

There-

fore,

the

parties

seek relief from the requirement of installing

particulate

control

devices on these batteries.

The parties detail

in their Motion the specific portions of the Board’s Order from which

relief

is

sought.

The parties have also submitted,

as Exhibit

6 to

their

Motion,

Program Revisions proposed as a substitute for the

port:Lons

of

the Board’s Order from which relief

is sought.

The

Board finds that partial relief from its September 15, 1976,

Order herein,

as outlined in the Motion submitted by the parties,

is

justified by the

newly

discovered

evidence

as

to

the

remaining

life

of

Batteries

“A”

and

“B”.

The Board furthermore finds that adherence

to the Program Revisions submitted by the parties will adequately en-

sure compliance with the Environmental Protection Act and the Air

Reguiations~

The

Board,

therefore,

grants

the

April

28,

1977

Motion

submitted by the parties,

including all modifications requested there-

in,

and Orders the parties to comply with all such modifications and

with the Program Revisions, both of which are incorporated by reference

as

if fully set forth herein.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

L. Moffett,
