ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Yi):
Section 13.3 of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/13.3 (1996)) requires

promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) to implement
the pretreatment requirements of Sections 307 and 402 of the Clean Water Act. 33 U.S.C. ยงยง
1317, 1342 (1977). USEPA has codified these rules in its pretreatment regulations at 40 CFR
400 through 499. Accordingly, the Board reserved this docket for USEPA amendments during
the period from January 1, 1997 through June 30, 1997. However, USEPA did not amend its
pretreatment regulations during this period.
For the foregoing reasons, the Board hereby dismisses this proceeding and closes this
docket.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
the above order was adopted on the 7th day of August 1997, by a vote of 6-0.
