    OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by Mr.
    Dumelle)
    A petition received April
    19,
    for
    a new house not yet started in
    Forest.
    The Board has a sewer ban
    Sanitary District area since March
    PCB 73-160
    1973 asks
    for a sewer permit
    the southeast corner of Lake
    in effect in the North Shore
    1971.
    The petition does not state to which sewage treatment plant
    the new home would discharge.
    Pending before
    the Board
    is
    a
    variance proceeding
    involving the Clavey Road Plant
    (PCB
    73-134)
    and it
    is possible that the Board’s decision in this matter may
    affect the petitioner’s property.
    The petition gives no grounds
    for hardship different from
    other petitions which the Board has denied.
    The purpose of a
    sewer ban is
    to prevent connections until
    adequate sewage treatment
    is made available.
    The North Shore Sanitary District is pursuing a
    multi-million dollar expansion and improvement program that should
    solve the problems which
    led to the sewer ban.
    The petition is denied without prejudice
    IT
    IS SO ORDERED
    I, Christan
    L. Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
    Board, hereby certify
    the above Opinion and Order were adopted on the
    ~
    day of April,
    1973 by
    a vote of
    ~..3—O
