CONCURRING OPINION

(by Mr.

Dumelle):

The data show two “violations” of the oxidant standard during

the

Auc~ust1-4,

1975 temporary monitoring period.

A case can be

made

that one of these “violations” was n~treally

a violation since

it was exactly at the 0.08 ppm standard and technically this

only uequa1ied~but did not “exceed” the standard.

Reqardiess of this argument,

I would have voted to deny

the variance because of the great number of oxidant violations

in

the Chicago Major Metropolitan ARea in which this source

is

located.

The emissions are in the same “airshed” where the

oxidant problem has been widespread and frequent.

Board, hereby certify the above Concurring Opinion was submitted

on the

~
