    )
    R 73-4
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by Mr. Dumelle):
    The following new Rule 409 Delays In Upgrading is enacted;
    Because of inadequacies in funding o~the federal construction
    grant program and the lack of any reasonable assurance that
    additional federal funds will be made available on a timely
    basis, the application of deadline dates in this Chapter to
    any discharger who is or will be eligible for a construction
    grant under Section 201(g) of the Federal Water Pollution
    Control Act Amendments of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) is
    modified as follows:
    (a) All effluent standards required to be met on December
    31, 1973 are extended to December 31, 1974 for any
    discharger to the waters of the State who is or will
    be eligible for a construction grant as described
    above.
    (i) The above provision shall not be construed as
    limiting the power of the Board to enter an order
    directing immediate construction of facilities
    necessary to abate pollution of the waters of
    the State, when the Board has found, as the
    result of an enforcement case initiated under
    Sections 30-34 of the Act, that the discharger
    is causing or tending to cause water pollution.
    (ii) Whenever a discharger subject to the provisions
    of this Rule files or has filed the Project
    Completion Schedule required by Rule 1002 and
    receives a time extension through the application
    of this Rule, said Project Completion Schedule
    will be automatically adjusted to reflect the
    time extension.
    The present Rule 602 (c) (3) shall be deleted and a new Rule
    602(c) (3) enacted as follows;

    591

    602(c) (3) To the extent necessary to prevent accumulations of
    sludge deposits or depression of oxygen levels,
    flows in excess of those described under paragraph
    (c) (2) above shall be treated by retention and return
    to the treatment works or otherwise. When the Agency
    finds it necessary, part or all of such excess flows
    shall be treated to substantially remove floating
    debris and solids.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
