ORDER

OF

THE

BOARD

(by Mr. Dumelle):

Petition to Amend Regulations was received October 14, 1975.

The Board Order of October 30,

1975 referred it to the Illinois

Environmental Protection Agency for their comment as to whether they

would propose it or recommend that the Board propose it under

its own powers.

The Petition lacks the 200 or more signatures that

would mandate hearings under the statute.

A letter of January 20,

1976 received February 5,

1976

from the Agency Director declines to propose the instant regulation

under its own powers.

It leaves the matter of possible Board proposal

to the Board but states that the Agency does not have the manpower

and resources to apply extensive technical input to the matter.

Since the Petition’s statement of need contains material with

which the Board is not fully familiar, the Board chooses not to propose

the requested regulation for public hearings.

Petitioner is directed

to Section

28 of the Act or may wish to consider utilizing the five-year

variance route now added to the Act by amendment.

The Petition is dismissed without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Christan L. Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control

Board, hereby certify the above Order was adopted on the
