Concurring opihion of Mr. Aldrich

I agree with the opinion of the Board (by Mr~ Lawton) and the order

granting the variance.

I

feel that the statement about “hardship inflicted” in beinglimited

to the hard~shipon the petitioner is too narrow in scope. My dis-

senting opinion in Wagnon v. EPA, PCB 71-85 stated:

“The economic hardship has been limited to the petitioner whereas

it is in fact shared by those whose real estate loses value, the

carpenters, masons, plumbers, electricians, heating experts, arch-

itects, and lending agencies who would have been involved in building

the homes and apartments as well as the lumbermen who would have cut

the trees, the steel workers and others who would have fabricated

materials and transportation workers who would have moved the needed

supplies.”

I, Regina E. Ryan, Clerk of the Board, certify that Mr. Samuel R. Aldrich

submitted the above Concurring Opinion on the J~day of August, 1971.
