    INTERIM ORDER OF THE BOARD (by Mr. Dumelle)
    These are all petitions for the use of copper sulfate in
    reservoirs used to supply drinking water.
    All are inadequate since
    they fail to give dosages
    in amount and frequency and resulting copper
    levels in the water.
    No mention is made whether fish or other aquatic life exist
    in these
    reservoirs.
    And no reasons are given why biodegradable
    algicides cannot be utilized in lieu of copper sulfate.
    The Agency
    is asked to furnish copies
    of Board opinions on
    the subject
    as guidance to the petitioners
    (City of LaHarpe,
    et al,

    1972; City of Paris, e~äl,FCB
    72-Z77,
    August
    15,
    1972).
    Petitioners will have 35 days
    in which to
    file amended
    petitions in order to remove the inadequacies.
    They shall simul-
    taneously file a waiver for
    35 days
    to Section
    38 of the Environmental
    Protection Act in order that the 90-day decision period shall run
    after the filing of the amended petition.
