#72—190

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Order

of

the Board on Petition

for Reconsideration

(by Mr.

Currie)

After full hearing and briefs we denied Illinois Power~s

petition for

a variance

from

the sulfur-dioxide emission

standard applicable

to Wood River Unit

#5,

in

a lengthy

opinion

(October

24,

1972).

Illinois Power asks us

to recon-

sider or grant

a rehearing.

We decline

to

do

so.

Illinois

Power had ample opportunity

to present before us all evidence

and arguments supporting

its request,

and

it took full advantage

of that opportunity.

The present petition essentially re-

states

the arguments earlier made and rejected,

and we see

no reason

to depart

from our earlier conclusions.

No extra-

ordinary circumstances are suggested

to

justify the extra-

ordinary relief of relitigating

issues already fully heard

and decided.

The petition

is hereby denied.

I, Christan Moffett,

Clerk

of the Pollution Control Board,

certify that the Board adopted

the above Order on Petition

for

Reconsideration

this

28th day of November,

1972,

by

a vote
