ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by Dr. Odell)
On July 14, 1975, Blakeslee—Midwest Prestressed Concrete
Company filed a Petition For Variance with the Illinois Pol—
lution Control Board
(Board).
Petitioner requested a variance
from Rule 203(a)
for particulate emissions of the Air Pollution
Regulations
(Chapter Two).
More information is required before the Board can de—
side on merits of Petitioner’s request.
In Train
v.
Natural
Resources Defense Council, Inc.
43 LW 4467
(April
15,
1975)
the United States Supreme Court ruled that variances from
implementation plans can be granted provided that the national
ambient air quality standards are not violated.
Petitioner
has not submitted any data on the ambient air quality standards
for particulates for the area in which it
is located.
Additional
information is also needed pursuant to the Board’s Procedural
Rule 401, especially on reasons why Petitioner had not achieved
compliance with applicable rules
in Chapter Two before filing
this Variance Petition.
Petitioner is requested to file the required data within
35 days of the adoption of this Order.
Failure to file the
necessary information will make the Petition For Variance sub-
ject to dismissal for lack of information.
The 90-day period
for final Board action shall begin
to run from the time of the
filing of the Amended Petition.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
