The opinion

GODFREY, Justice,

concurring in result.

I concur in the result on the second ground given by the court for its decision; namely, that the statutes under consideration manifest a purpose .of making the Board of Environmental Protection the final arbiter as among state agencies of issues pertaining to site location. Since the legislation assigns a consultative role to the agencies, their participation, other than as possible consultants, should end when the Board renders its final order.
