ORDER OF
THE
BOARD
(BY SAMUEL T.
LAWTON,
JR.):
Respondent
has
filed a petition to modify
our
Order of April
17,
1973
in
which we directed that prior
to
June
17,
1973,
Respondent
cease and desist its poilutional discharge and
submit
a program of
compliance prior
to said date.
The Order also directed that the
parties conduct such testing as
is
necessary prior
to June 17, 1973
to ascertain that Respondent
is in compliance with all relevant
:L~egu1ationswith respect to the control of air pollution.
Respondent
has stated
in
its
motion
that
the presence of a spark
arrester
creates
difficulty
in
testing
its
emissions,
in
that
test~
inn
before
the
spark
arrester
would
fail
to
take
into
consideration
the
discharges
diminished
by
said
devices,
and
that
a
sampling
above
the
stack
would
be
a
testing
of
the
ambient
air
to
which
results
the
testinç
companys
would
not
certify,
Respondent
proposes
to
install
an
afterburner
and
requests
that
our
Order
be
modified
to
permit
such
installation,
that the stack
test:
be
taken
subsequent
to
the
completion
of
the
installation,
and
thi::.
Respondent continue to operate while proceeding
with
the
after-
burner
installation
and
tests.
While
we
are
not
unfavorably
disposed
to
the request, Respondent
has
given no
indication
of
its
time
schedule
for
compliance
as
we
had
previously
directed,
and
accordingly,
must
deny
the
motion
at
the
present
time.
We
direct
that
Respondent
file
with
the Agency and
the
Board
its
proposed
schedule
of
instmllation
and
testing
within
10
days
from
the
date
hereof,
and
will
enter
such
further
order
as
shall
he
appropriate
upon
receipt
of
the
foregoing
submission.
IT
IS
SO
ORDERED.
