ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

ORDER OF THE BOARD (BY SAMUEL T. LAWTON, JR.):

On October 3, 1972, we entered an Order granting an interim

variance to petitioner extending the variance previously granted

on October 14, 1971, as modified by Order of November 11, 1971

relative to the Company’s Will County and Powertown Generating

Stations, to December 15, 1972. The Order was premised, in part,

upon the Company waiving its statutory right to a decision on the

variance petition until December 15, 1972.

On December 11, 1972, we received a motion for extension

of interim variance to December 31, 1972, together with a waiver

of the right to decision until that date. The motion is granted

and the interim variance granted by our Order of October 3, 1972

is extended to December 31, 1972.

It is anticipated that the Board will take final action on

the basic variance request at its meeting of December 27, 1972.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Christan Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board,

certify that the above Order was adopted on the 1~Yu1dayof December,
