ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by

B.

Forcade):

C’n Augu~c 14,

19t7,

tne Cit~ of

East Moline filed

a letition

for Variance,

seeking

relief from various NPDES effluent

standards.

That ~etiticn

is aeficient

in that

it fails

to

provide:

1.

A do:~l~ddescription

of

the propose~

equipment

or proposed method

of control

to

be unoertaken

to achieve

full

coripli—

ance with

the Act and regulations, in-

cluding

a time schedule

for

the implemen-

tation of

all phases

of the control pro-

gram from initiation

of design

to program

completion

and

the estimated

costs in-

volved for each phase

and the

total cost

to achieve compliance.

The intention

to

file

a request

for regulatory relief does

not constitute

a compliance plan;

and

2,

In

t~-io

ever~ttnat East lioline files

an

amended petition along with

a request

for

site—specific regulatory

relief,

the

amended petition for variance must con-

tain

a plan for compliance

in the event

the regulatory

relief

is denied.

Unless

an

amended petition

is

filed within 45 days

of

the

date of this Order,

curing the above—noted defect,

this matter

will

be subject

to dismissal.

East Moline states

in paragraph

17

that the site—specific regulatory proposal will

be filed when the

necessary supporting

signatures are obtained.

East

Moline is

free

to file the regulatory proposal with

a motion

to waive the

necessary supporting

signatures.

IT

IS

SO ORDERED.
