ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by Mr.

Henss):

Petitioner

filed

a Variance Petition on June

24,

1975

requesting one year variance for the emission of particulate

matter and sulfur dioxide from boilers at the Central Park

Avenue Pumping Station located in Chicago.

The variance

petition is inadequate because it does not provide the

information which would be essential under Train vs. Natural

Resources Defense Council,

43 USLW 4467

(U.

S. No. 73—1742,

April

15, 1975).

Under that decision this Board can grant

individual variances beyond July 31,

1975 if the variances

do not interfere with the attainment and subsequent maintenance

of national ambient air quality standards.

The additional

information to be filed by Petitioner shall address that issue

and shall include information regarding the quality of the

ambient air which

is affected by Petitioner~semissions along

with such information as may be available indicating whether

the qrant of the variance will interfere with attainment and

maintenance of national ambient air quality standards.

Petitioner

is allowed 40 days from the date of this Order for

the filing of such information.

The hearing on this petition

shall not be conducted until at least 20 days after the filing

of the additional information.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
