PCB 86—5

EXCEPTION TO THE COMBINED SEVER

OVERFLOW REGULATIONS

ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J.D. Dumelle):

This matter comes before the Board upon a January 6, 1986

Petition for Exception to the Combined Sewer Overflow Regulations

fi~led on behalf of the City of Effingham (City). The Board finds

that had the petition been properly addressed to the Board’s new

offices, then it would have been timely filed and therefore, the

Board will accept the petition. However, the Board finds that

the petition is deficient in several areas.

Specifically, the City should submit more information on the

requested relief. The City should specify the presently

applicable standards, which of those standards it believes should

be found inappropriate and what substitute standards should be

imposed, if any. Further, the City should submit additional

information concerning the environmental impact of the combined

sewer overflows and whether any enforcement action has been

initiated against the City or if there has been any non-

compliance with variances granted to the City.

Unless this additional information is filed within 45 days

of this Order, this matter is subject to dismissal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
