order aliowe~

to

thethe

WaukeganDistract andto

permitCiavey aRoadcertain

plants of the Distroct.

That order was,

however, conditioned

on a

number of things~ one of which is contained in paragrapi

21:

“21,

The

District shall

investigate

all available

means to

advance the

date

of operation

of

the

re-~

tention basin at

the Waukegan plant

ancluding

the use

of its emergency

powers, overtime and leased

pumps....”

Pursuant to this order,

the

District

submitted a letter t.o the Board

dated

May 1, 1972, indicating that the contractor

that

has the basic

contract

to construct

the retention :oasth will charge a

total

of

$660,000 to complete the retention basin by

June 1, 1973 rather than

September 1, 1973.

Before the

Board

can

properly

evaluate ~ether

the expenditure

of these funds is necessary for the District

to comply with the

Eoard~s March 2, 1972 order to employ “all means available to advance

the date of operation of the retention basin” at the Waukecjan plant:,

---

it will be necessary to hear the comments from the other parties in

this case. We, therefore, request that all parties

to

this case

submit

comments to the Board on the District’s May 1, 1972 letter

relating to advancement of the date of completion of the Waukegan

retention basin within twenty (20) days after the date of this order.

Failure by any party to so comment will be deemed by the Board to

mean that that party agrees with the District’s conclusion

--

that

is, that the expenditure of $660,000 to advance the date of comple-

tion of the retention basin should not be made.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Christan L, Moffett, Clerk of the Pollution Control Board,

./~

certify that the Board adopted the above Opinion and Order this

of May, 1972, by a vote of
