OPINION

AND

ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by Mr. Dumelle)

On May

25, 1973 the Sherwiri~Wi1liamsCompany filed

a petition

to modify the variance granted November

21,

1972.

Sherwin-Williams

asks for a modification of interim dates which have to do with the

paint department wastewaters.

The

final date for completion of

the mercury control program of September

30, 1974

is not affected.

The Agency,

in its response to the motion filed June

6,

1973

recommends

a grant of the amended interim dates.

We agree with

the Agency and Sherwin-Williams and grant the change

in dates

as

listed in this order.

Sherwin-Williams has done an excellent job

in reducing its mercury discharges

and

in the instant proceeding

has discontinued certain operations such as laundry and drum cleaning

that have further reduced the quantity of the wastewater

flow.

ORDER

The order of November 21,

1972

(6 PCB

is changed

to read

as

follows:

3.

Detail design drawings and plans for further

mercury control on areas of the plant other than

the paint department shall be submitted to the

Agency by June

Preliminary engineering

plans of proposed treatment for mercury control

for the paint department shall be submitted to

the Agency by July 30,

1973 and detail engineering

drawings and plans
