CONCURRING

OPINION (by J~ Marlin):

The Village received my concurring vote in this case only

because denial would most likely delay resolution of

the

issue

even further into the futures The Village did essentially

nothing to investigate compliance alternatives prior to

applying

for the variance extensions It did not determine the

barium

level of well 3~ It did not even seek the

assistance of the

Illinois State Geological Survey until l985~

However, I agree

with the majority that leaving the Village open to

enforcement at

this point in time will not necessarily contribute

to a desirable

resolutions
