ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

February

3,

1977

IN THE MATTER OF

PROPOSED RULE 204.1 OF THE

)

R

AIR POLLUTION CONTROL

REGULATIONS

ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by Mr. Goodman):

This matter comes before

the

Board upon the Petition filed by

Illinois Power Company

(IPC)

on January

5, 1977,

to adopt a pro-

posed Rule 204.1 of the Air Pollution Control Regulations.

IPC’s

proposal results from its uncertainty as to the status of the regu—

lations governing SO2 emissions from the company’s Baldwin generating

station.

As IPC points out in paragraph

(4)

of its Petition, the

Board currently has pending before it a number of proposals,

including

R76—9,

R74-2, R75-5,

and R71—23, which involve

the review and possible

revision of the sulfur dioxide emissions limitations.

In addition, a

petition for variance from Rule 204(e)

for IPC’s Baldwin Station is

currently before the Board.

The Board finds that yet another regula-

tory proposal would not solve the problem but would merely accentuate

the existing uncertainty.

The Board, therefore,

denies IPC’s Petition

of January

5,

1977,

as duplicitous of matters already before the

Board.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
