    ORDER
    Velsicol Chemical Corporation requests that we modify our Order
    of April
    5,
    1973 by deleting the requirement that the Company post
    a performance bond.
    The request for reconsideration
    is timely and we
    consider
    it
    on its merits.
    The Order requires Velsicol to cease and
    desist from its violations by installing and operating a surface
    facility for deep well injection of its plant effluent.
    The posting
    of
    a performance bond in the amount of $150,000 for a period of one
    year
    is
    to guarantee performance of the cease and desist order.
    Velsicol would
    like
    to be relieved of
    the
    bond requirement
    since
    it
    has completed construction of the surface facility.
    The
    Order, however, requires more than installation
    of the facility.
    It requires that the facility operate
    in
    an acceptable manner in
    order to meet the requirements
    of
    the
    law.
    We
    feel that the posting
    of the bond for a period of one year
    is a valid means of securing
    the installation of equipment
    which
    will actually perform as
    represented and will achieve the desired results,
    i.e. compliance
    with the Regulation.
    The Request for Modification
    is therefore denied.
    I,
    Christan L. Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board,
    hereby certify the above Order was adopted this
    7th
    day of June,
    1973
    by a vote of
    4
