Respondents.
ORDER OF THE BOARD (by I, Goodman):
Petitioner’s .~mended Petition, submitted pursuant to the
Board’s Order of October 8, 1981, is accepted, Respondents’
Motion to Dismiss, filed November 17, 1981,
is denied. The
relief requested by Petitioner, a variance from Chapter 3
Rule 604, is not beyond the authority of the Board, as argued
by Respondents’ motion. It is the Agency which by Judge
Teschner’s order in People of the State of Illinois v.
County of Du ~ge, 80 MR 432, December 8, 1980, is limited to
issuing operating permits only “to those who have previously
been issued and presentjy hold valid construction only permits”
until the Marionbrook trea~mentfacilities are upgraded It
is the County of Du Page, a párty in that proceeding, which is
limited to issuing “those permits which shall not cause the
additional loading to~exceedthe monthly allocation and total
loading as set forth” in that opinion.
The
Board’s authority
under Section 35 of the Act is no where limited by Judge
Teschner’s order. Furthermore, contrary to Respondents’
arguments, from the facts now before it, the Board cannot
presuppose that a variance from restricted status is useless
to this Petitioner due to the holding in
SCA
Services, Inc. v.
Illinois Pollution Control Board, 71 Ill.App.3d 715, 389 N.E.
2d 953, which affirmed the Board’s decision to dismiss a permit
denial appeal because the Petitioner in that instance was barred
from operating by a court order.
This matter is to be set for hearing.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I, Christan L. Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution
Control Board, hereby certify that the above Order was a~opted
