Opinion and Order of the Board (by Mr. Currie)

Andros asks a variance from our order forbidding the addition

of new or increased wastes to overloaded treatment facilities in

the North Shore Sanitary District (League of Women Voters v.

NSSD, # 70—7, March 31, 1971). The petition does not allege

facts sufficient to justify the request, and it must he dismissed.

The plan is to replace an existing rooming house of 13 units

with a new apartment building~of 19. It is clear that an increase

in wastes discharged will result, and no special hardship is alleged.

Even if all the facts alleged were proved, we could not there-

fore grant the variance. See Wojcik v. EPA, # 7l-35Q, January

6, 1972, and cases cited. The petition is hereby dismissed.

We call attention to the pending proceeding by the District

itself, # 71-343, in which a partial relaxation of the ban is

sought which might benefit petitioners such as that in the

present case.

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

that the Board adopted the above Opinion and Order of the Board

this

4

day of January, 1972 by vote of__________
