Neit en Petitioner nor the Agency has received any complairt

about the organic discharges from the plant.

TI-c Agen y recommends granting this variance subject to certair

conditions,

Fron the record it is obvious that Weber made a cor

sciertious erfort to comply with tOe Peguatiors

be held responsible for the shortages which will delay completior of

the solvent recovery system.

While

a denia~of tie variance woula

not necessarily force a closin

it

would certainly

place Weber in danger of prosecution for sontinuing excessrve dis

charges despite di i~entefforts to abate the discharges

Petitioner has satisfied this Board that it deserves the variance

shield for its continuing operations and we shall grant the varrance

subject to condrtions suggested by the Agency.
