    1988
    IN THE MATTER OF:
    USI CHEMICALS CO’S
    )
    R 87—40
    PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO
    35
    ILL. ADM.
    CODE PART

    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by
    J.
    Anderson):
    This petition,
    filed December
    21,
    1987,
    requests an
    exemption from the requirements of
    35
    Ill.
    Adm. Code Part 215,
    Subpart
    Q
    for USI’s plants located near Morris,
    Illinois and near
    Tuscola,
    Illinois.
    The petition was not accompanied by at least
    200 signatures as
    required
    by Section
    28
    of the Act where
    a
    petition has not been filed by the Agency or DENR.
    On December
    28,
    1987, the Agency filed
    an objection
    to waiver by the Board
    of
    the signature requirement.
    In cases such as
    this,
    the Board sees little point
    in
    refusing
    to accept such
    a petition without signatures,
    since
    in
    the usual course the petitioning company would simply circulate
    such petitions
    to their employees
    (and their friends and
    families)
    to obtain the necessary signatures; presence of such
    signatures does not indicate support
    for the petition
    in the
    general community.
    The petition
    is accepted for hearing, which
    will be
    scheduled as expeditiously as
    is practicable consistent
    with the Board’s
    informational needs and available resources.
    IT
    IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy
    M.
    Gunn,
    Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
    Board, hereby cert
    v that the above Order was adopted on
    the
    7I~
    day of
    _____________,
    1988,
    by a vote of
    ~c)
