PRELIMINARY ORDER OF THE BOAR) (by Mr. Currie):
This petition, filed October 6, seeks permission to burn branches
of trees blown down in a recent tornado; the Agency recommends we grant
it. Our rules require that we wait 21 days to allow citizen comments
on variance petitions, so we shall place the case on the agenda for
decision October 31 in light of the need for expeditious handling. We
note the petition does not indicate why it is not practicable to utilize
an air—curtain destructor or similar device, as required by the regula-
tions, to minimize emissions
and avoid
the need for a
variance.
The
City may file such supplementary information between now and October 31.
