ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY,

Respondent.

ORDER OF THE BOARD (by Mr. Henss):

Petitioner reque5ts variance from the Air Pollution Control

P~cgulations dealing with compliance programs and project

completion schedules (Rule 104), the particulate emission

standards for incinerators Rule 203(e) and the carbon monoxide

emission standards for incinerators Rule 206(b). The purpose

of the variance is to allow Petitioner to burn explosive wastes

in its incinerator. Under the recent United States Supreme

Court decision, Train, Administrator etc. vs. Natural Resources

Defense Council (No. 73-1742), it will be necessary to establish

that the grant of the variance will not interfere with the

attainment and subsequent maintenance of national ambient air

quality standards. The petition seems to be specific in alleging

that the air quality standards for particulates will be met but

is inadequate in its allegations regarding the national ambient

air ‘~uzJity standard for carbon monoxide. The Board orders

r’etitioner to file within 45 days such additional information as

:~ay

be necessary to determine whether allowance of this variance

will

interfere with the attainment and subsequent maintenance of

national ambient air quality standards for carbon monoxide. Since

public hearings have been held on similar variance requests by

Petitioner the Board does not deem it necessary to schedule a

public hearing on this petition. Failure to file the missing

information, however, may result in a determination that the

petition is inadequate.

It is Ordered that Petitioner within 45 days of this Order

file additional information from which it can be determined whether

the grant of the variance will interfere with the attainment

and subsequent maintenance of the national ambient air quality
