    THE APPLICATION OF WILMETTE
    )
    PCB 87—32
    HARBOR ASSOCIATION, INC. FOR A
    )
    LAKE MICHIGAN PERMIT
    )
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by B. Forcade):
    On March 12, 1987, the Illinois Department of Transportation
    filed information it had received regarding an application for
    permit from Wilmette Harbor Association, Inc.. On page one of
    the attached data summary sheet regarding sediment analyses, the
    chromium levels are listed as 69—84 mg/kg. The United States
    Environmental Protection Agency’s “Guidelines for the Pollution
    Classification of Great Lakes Harbor Sediments” defines any
    sediment having a concentration of greater than 75 mg/kg as
    heavily polluted. The information provided, to date, is
    inadequate to support a conclusion that the levels of chromium
    and other contaminants in the sediment will not cause pollution
    upon disposal in the beach and nearshore areas.
    The application for Board concurrence on this permit, when
    filed, must provide more information to assure the Board that
    disposal of the dredge material will not cause a violation of the
    Environmental Protection Act or Board regulations or harm to the
    environment. If additional information is not included in the
    application, that application will be deemed incomplete.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
    Board, hereby certify that the above Order was adopted op
    the /7~day of
    _____________,
    1987, by a vote of
    ___________
