are being experienced in the Macomb public water supply. Also

no data are given as to the area of the Reservoir that would

be affected by ammonia concentrations in excess of the standard

of 1.5 mg/i and what effect this would have upon fish life in

the Reservoir. Information as to the cost of treating the phosphorus

effluent from the proposed septic system to 1.0 mg/i should

also be given.

Petitioner shall amend the Petition within 45 days from the

date of this Order to provide the needed information. The 90-day

period set by statute for a decision shall run from the filing of

the amended Petition. Failure to timely file the amended Petition

shall make it liable to dismissal for inadequacy.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
