ORDER OF THE BOARD (by Dr. Odell)

The City of Charleston (Charleston) applied for a

permit from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency)

for the disposal of aerobically digested sludge from the Charleston

wastewater tre~~t.mentplant to a 100-acre tract of farmland in the

East 1/3 of Section 13, T. 12 N., R. 9 E. of the 3rd P.M. This

permit was denied by the Agency in a letter of May 27, 1975.

On June 9, 1975, Charleston appealed to the Illinois

Pollution Control Board (Board) this permit denial by the Agency.

The Agency’s perrrib file concerning this case, consisting of the

application and d?nial, was received by the Board on June 20, 1975.

On July 3, 1975, the Board received a copy of Charleston’s

revised permit application to the Agency. In the revised permit

application Ch3rleston deleted all agricultural land in the sub-

ject tract which drained south toward Charleston Lake. This

leaves a sludge disposal area of approximately 80 acres which

drains northward.

On August 6, 1975, the Board received from Charleston

a Motion to Withdraw their permit appeal because the permit had

been issued. It I~The Order of the Board that Petitioner’s

Motion to Withdraw is hereby granted and this case is dismissed.
