    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by Mr. Dumelle)
    The City of Mt. Olive by a letter received March
    29, 1973
    requests permission to use copper sulfate to prevent algae
    growths
    in its two water reservoirs.
    No information
    is
    given
    as
    to fre-
    quency or amount of dosage or the resulting copper content of the
    water.
    No information
    is give as
    to the possible use of alterna-
    tives
    to copper sulfate.
    The City of Waverly in a letter dated March
    22,
    1973 also
    asks permission to use copper sulfate but not only does not give
    dosage amounts or frequencies nor does
    it give resulting copper
    levels in the water.
    And no information is given
    as
    to why
    alternatives besides copper sulfate cannot be used.
    Both variance applications
    are clearly inadequate.
    Mt.
    Olive and Waverly are given
    35 days
    in which
    to amend their peti-
    tions
    to provide the necessary information.
    The Agency
    is asked
    to provide the petitioners with prior Board opinions on the subject
    as
    a guide
    (see City of LaHarpe,
    et al, PCB 72-168, August
    8,
    1972
    and City of Paris,
    et al, PCB 72-277,
    August 15, 1972.)
    If the
    amended petition is not received within
    35 days
    it shall be sub-
    ject
    to dismissal.
    The 90
    days within which the Board shall make
    a decision will run from the date of filing of the amended petition.
    IT
    IS SO ORDERED..
