ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Opinion

&

Order of the Board

(by Mr.

Currie)

r~he

City of Elmhurst petitioned for

an extension of

the SWB-l4 date for completion of advanced treatment

facilities

at its sewage treatment plant.

Since the petition

was

filed we adopted

a new regulation,

#R 71—14, March

7,

1972,

which

in view of changes

in the applicable treatment require-

ments has set

a new date

for advanced treatment throughout the

State.

Since

the City’s program will bring it into compliance

in advance

of the new deadline,

no variance appears necessary.

The case

is therefore moot

and is hereby dismissed.

If upon

examination

of the new regulations and consultation with

the

Agency there appears to be any need for Board action,

a renewed

petition may

always

be

filed,

and

the relevant

facts,

or many

of

them, are already

in the record.

I,

Christan Moffett,

Clerk of the Pollution Control Board,

certify

th4at

the Board adopted the

above Opinion

& Order

this

.

‘Tday of March,

1972, by

a vote of

4-0.
