v.

VILLAGE OF PORT BYRON

ORDER OF THE BOARD (BY SAMUEL T. LAWTON, JR.):

On October 24, 1972, we entered an order directing the

Village to immediately cease and desist dumping of all garbage,

refuse and trash at its landfill site, to take necessary steps to

adequately police the site to prevent future open dumping and to

provide final cover within 45 days of the receipt of the order.

On December 14, 1972, we received a communication on behalf

of the Village stating that the Village had complied with the Order

but that “the Village

was left with this

open area and feels that

it would be to the benefit of the Village if it were filled and

perhaps used for recreational purposes”. Allowance is sought to

dump inorganic material one—half day per week. It is difficult

to tell from the communication what provisions of the Regulations

petitioner seeks to have varied.

We have no objection to the dumping providing it does not

violate any applicable regulations and that the Village obtain

the necessary permits from the Environmental Protection Agency

consistent with the type of dumping proposed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

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

certify that the above Order was adopted on the /~
