    ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL
    PROTECTION AGENCY,
    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J. Marlin):
    This matter
    is before
    the Board upon receipt of an Agency
    recommendation dated January
    31,
    1989.
    The recommendation refers
    to a request
    from petitioner,
    the City of Herrin for
    a 45—day
    provisional variance
    from the water effluent standards
    set forth
    at
    35
    Ill. Mm.
    Code 304.120 and 304.141(a).
    Petitioner requests
    the variance
    to allow time
    to perform needed
    repair work on
    its
    primary tank.
    The Agency states that
    it believes that petitioner
    has correctly identified the necessary work,
    and that denial
    of
    the requested provisional variance would impose an arbitrary or
    unreasonable hardship on petitioner.
    The Board concurs with the Agency recommendation.
    Petitioner
    is granted
    a provisional variance subject to the
    following conditions:
    1.
    Variance shall commence upon the date
    the Primary Tank
    is
    removed
    from service and continue for
    45 days or
    until
    the tank
    is returned to service, whichever occurs
    first.
    2.
    During
    the period of this variance,
    the effluent
    discharged
    shall
    be limited
    to
    50 mg,1! BOD and
    60 mg/I
    suspended solids.
    3.
    Petitioner
    shall notify Byron Marks
    of the Agency’s
    Marion Regional Office via telephone at 618/997—4371
    when dewatering
    of the primary
    tank
    is begun, and when
    the unit
    is returned to service.
    Written confirmation
    of each notification shall be submitted within
    5 days
    to:
