    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by B. Forcade):
    On March 5, 1987, the Board issued a final Opinion and Order
    in this matter granting Schrock a short—term variance from the
    particulate emission limitations of 35 Ill. Adni. Code 212.204, as
    that regulatory language applied to Schrock’s burning of wood
    residue. The Board helä that the regulatory language did apply
    to Schrock’s operation and that long—term variance relief could
    not be granted without a more definitive compliance plan.
    On April 9, 1987, Schrock filed a motion for reconsideration
    of the Board’s decision. That motion referenced Schrock’s
    recently filed site—specific proposal (R87—12: filed April 13,
    1987) and provided details on Schrock’s method of compliance
    should regulatory relief be denied (Motion, p. 5). On April 27,
    1987, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency filed an
    opposition to the motion for reconsideration, asserting that
    Schrock had failed to demonstrate arbitrary or unreasonable
    hardship and that the compliance schedule is too lengthy. On May
    8, 1987, Schrock filed a reply memorandum.
    Based on the new information provided by Schrock, the Board
    will grant reconsideration and set this matter for hearing. In
    an effort to minimize hearing expenses for Schrock, the Board
    will attempt to schedule the hearing for the variance petition
    and the site—specific regulatory hearing to occur on the same day
    at the same location. At hearing, the Board would anticipate
    evidence, inter alia, on the viability of compliance by use of a
    venturi scrubber and the appropriate time frame for compliance by
    a) scrubber or b) terminating wood burning, if the Board grants
    variance.
    IT IS SO ORDERED
