    )
    R74—2
    SULPHUR
    DIOXIDE
    INQUIRY
    HEARINGS
    )
    INTERIM
    ORDER
    OF
    THE
    BOARD
    (by
    Mr.
    Marder)
    After careful review of
    the evidence presented at hearing, the
    Board
    finds that two specific rules should be separately considered at
    this time:
    1)
    Rule 2O4(c)(1)(B)(i), which limits SO2 emissions
    to
    six
    pounds
    per
    million
    BTU
    of heat input.
    2)
    Rule
    204(e),
    which
    limits
    total
    loading
    of
    sulphur
    dioxide as a function
    of stack height.
    The
    Board
    feels
    that
    these
    two
    rules
    can
    be analyzed
    as to the effect
    of
    such
    emissions
    on
    the
    air
    quality
    of
    the
    state,
    and
    that
    the
    Environmental
    Protection
    Agency is
    the proper party to undertake
    such
    investigation
    at
    this
    time.
    The Agency is thus ordered to commence such study,
    and
    within
    sixty
    (60) days from the date of this Order, report to
    the Board as
    to its findings,
    and make such proposals for regulatory change as
    it may deem in
    the best interests
    of
    the people of the state.
    The intent of the Board in issuing such interim
    Order is
    to expedite action, while allowing additional time to study what further
    orders or proposals would be appropriate.
    IT
    IS
    SO
    ORDERED.
    I,
    Christan L. Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board,
    cer
    fy
    that
    the
    above Order
    was
    adopted
    by
    the
    Board
    on
    the
    ~S~’
