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
