It is ordered, pursuant to section 225.2(c) of this Title:
(a) That a special limitation for Units 1 and 2 of the Village of Freeport's Plant No. 2 generating facility is granted:
(1) to the extent that the Village of Freeport is authorized to purchase and use residual oil of up to a maximum of 1.0 percent sulfur content by weight in each such unit and that residual oil of up to 1.0 percent sulfur content by weight may be sold to the Village of Freeport for use in each such unit; or
(2) to the extent that the Village of Freeport is authorized to purchase and use residual oil of up to a maximum of 2.2 percent sulfur content by weight in each such unit and that residual oil of up 2.2 percent sulfur content by weight may be sold to the Village of Freeport for use in each such unit if the units are modified such that combustion gases are exhausted in a stack extending approximately 180 feet above ground elevation.
(b) The limitation is conditioned on:
(1) that the special limitation shall take effect on approval of the terms thereof by the United States Environmental Protection Agency;
(2) that, as approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the special limitation shall continue until and including July 31, 1980;
(3) that the Village of Freeport shall provide and operate a department-approved continuous monitoring network;

(5) that the department reserves the right to audit and require modification of the continuous monitoring network at any time, provided adequate time is allowed for any required modification;
(6) that the department expressly reserves the right to modify or revoke the special limitation on reasonable notice if the department determines such action is necessary to protect the public interest, including but not limited to a determination that the special limitation fails adequately to protect the public health and welfare from sulfates, a determination that operation at such higher sulfur content oil as authorized herein contributes to the contravention of any applicable ambient air quality standard, or a determination that such operation would significantly degrade air quality;
(7) that the Village of Freeport shall submit semiannual reports which summarize sulfur dioxide concentrations, as measured by its monitoring network for averaging times corresponding to Federal and State ambient air quality standards.
