ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Opinion & Order of the Board (by Mr. Currie):

On October 14,. 1971, we granted National Starch a variance

from the applicable BOD and suspended solids while constructing

additional treatment facilities, on several conditions including

a money penalty for past delays. The opinion and order con-

templated that the construction program would be completed by

the end of 1972, but because the statute requires annual re-

approval of variance programs the variance was granted only

until October 1, 1972, with leave to apply for reapproval upon

a showing of satisfactory progress. National Starch & Chemical

Co., 4~7l—83 (Oct. 14, 1972)

The present peititon reports that all conditions of the

order have been met and that construction is proceeding on

schedule. The Agency’s recommendation confirms these allegations.

As originally contemplated, therefore, we hereby extend the

variance granted in#71-83 to December 31, 1972.

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