Both of these limits have been exceeded, lie stated. Volin noted the Holly plant showed a “marked im provement from the second week in April through the month of May. “We were encouraged by the way they were progressing with their engineering plans.” But, he added, there were problems with the effluent discharge in June. He recently sent an assessment of penalties to the DER attorney, John Embick. “Holly is making progress to improvement,” Yobn stated. “So far, there has been no equity action taken to close the plant because of their violations. But, if we continue to have problems, additional action could be taken by the department.’ ’ Any further delay in schedule, he added, will result in additional penalties of $5OO per day. Once the completed in formation is received from Holly, DER will then begin to process the permit ap plication. After receiving the DER permit, Holly then will have 30 days to begin con struction. The construction must be completed by the end of February, 1981, said Yohn. And the plant must be in full operation within 30 days of completion of con struction. Yohn noted that DER will be watching Holly closely, monitoring the plant’s discharges for 3 months after it is m full operation and calling for any ad ditional modifications that may be needed. “We’ll have a lot of help from other interested citizens and groups,’’ he added. “Sportsmen in the area watch Mountain Creek because it is a trout stream and a Fish for Fun area.”— SM
