ORDER OF THE BOARD (by Mr. Dumelle):

Petition filed April 2, 1974 is inadequate. Page 7 contains

a conclusory statement that “the hydrocarbons emitted from the

existing Vapor-Blowdown Quench Drum do not contribute to the

formation of photochemical smog”. The basis for this statement

is not given and additional data as to oxides of nitrogen

air quality data, extent of solar insolation or actual oxidant

levels achieved is necessary to substantiate this.

Petitioner is directed to supply information on this

matter within 45 days from the date of this order. A waiver

of the 90-day decision period shall be executed until the date

of filing of the needed information.

Failure to timely file the information shall render the

petition liable to dismissal for inadequacy.

IT IS SO

ORDERED.
