    Opinion
    & Order of the Board on Request for Extension
    (by Mr.
    Currie)
    Our order
    of February
    3,
    1972 found that Holland had violated
    certain provisions respecting the discharge
    of wastewater
    and
    ordered
    the company to submit
    a program by March
    1 for achieving
    compliance.
    At that time
    the company’s preference,
    if feasible,
    was to connect to municipal
    sewers tributary
    to
    a treatment
    plant.
    On February 25 Holland reported its progress
    in seeking
    a solution,
    including its conclusion that
    the municipal connection
    cannot be confidently predicted
    at this
    time and therefore that
    it must proceed to construct
    its own additional treatment
    facilities.
    A preliminary engineering study has been made,
    and Holland
    asks an extension of
    60 days
    in which to complete
    development of the control program.
    The Agency recommends that
    this extension be granted, and we agree.
    The company has been
    working diligently to correct
    its problems since the entry of
    our initial order, and has been
    forced to abandon
    its original
    plan of connecting to the city sewer.
    The additional
    two months
    are necessary
    to permit the details of the program to be worked
    out and
    a permit applied
    for.
    We read the company’s February
    24 request as
    a commitment
    to construct as rapidly as
    is practicable
    facilities adequate
    to bring discharges into full compliance.
    ORDER
    Paragraph
    3 of the Board’s order of February
    3,
    1972,
    is hereby amended by substituting “April 30,
    1972” for”March
    1,
    1972” with respect to the date for submission of
    the required
    compliance program.
    Such program shall be submitted
    to the Agency
    as well as
    to the Board, and
    shall be accompanied by an application
    for
    a permit
    to construct the proposed facilities.
    In all other respects the order of February
    3,
    1972,
    shall
    remain in full force
    and effect.
    I, Christan Moffett, Clerk of the Pollution Control Board certify
    that the Board adopted
    the
    above Opinion
    & Order on Request
    for
    Extension this 28th day of March,
    1972 by
    a vote of
    5—0.
