    Opinion and Order of the Board
    (by Mr. Currie):
    Waukegan Disposal Service filed
    a purported variance
    petition which we received October 12,
    1971, seeking permission
    to connect to the Waukegan sewers
    a new facility for “storage
    of garbage trucks and preparation of waste paper for recycling.”
    We asked for more information
    in an order entered October
    14
    (together with
    #
    71-313, Lake County School Dist.
    v. EPA),
    pointing
    out the inadequacy of the allegations to support
    a finding of hardship.
    Mion~other things, there is no
    estimate of the quantity or strength of wastes that would be
    added, and no allegation of any significant change of position
    prior to imposition of
    the connection ban
    (League of Women Voters
    v.
    North Shore Sanitary District,
    #
    70-7, March 31,
    1971).
    The
    90-day period in which we must take final action having almost
    expired, we are forced to dismiss the petition as inadequate,
    without prejudice to the filing of a supplementary petition.
    It
    is
    so ordered.

    I, Christan Moffett, Acting Clerk of the Polluton Control Board,
    certify that the Board adopted the above Opinion and Order
    of the Board
    this
