DISSENTING OPINION OF MR. HENSS~

I dissent from the Opinion and Order. The Clean Air Act,

the National l~rnbientAir Quality Standards and the Illinois

Implementation Plan together establish a compliance deadline

which cannot be extended by our variance order. Under the

Implementation Plan compliance with the National 2\mbient Air

Quality Standards must be achieved by July 1975. The Opinion

and Order adopted today by a majority of the Illinois Pollution

Control Board purport to extend the compliance date for Olin

Corporation past the attainment deadline of June 30, 1975. This

the Board cannot and should not do.

There is the possibility that a procedure will be developed

for coordinating the action of State and Federal agencies in their

efforts to establish valid attainment dates for individual sources.

Until such procedure has been established and the parties can

prove that they are acting in accordance with it, the Board should

refuse to extend attainment deadlines beyond June 30, 1975.
