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

This matter comes before the Board upon receipt of an Agency

recommendation for provisional variance; the recommendation was

filed October 19, 1988.

The recommendation concerns a request by Crescent Plating

Works, Inc., to allow on—site storage of hazardous waste beyond

the 90—day limit imposed by 35 Ill. Ac3m. Code 722.134(a).

The Agency has concluded that the necessity for the

hazardous waste to remain on—site was due to unforeseen,

temporary and uncontrollable circumstances; and that failure to

grant the requested provisional variance would impose an

arbitrary and unreasonable hardship on Petitioner. The Agency

urges this Board to grant the requested provisional variance.

The Board does hereby grant provisional variance to Cresent

Plating Works, Inc., to allow on—site storage of hazardous wastes

from September 28, 1988 until October 28, 1988.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control

Board, hereby certify that the above Order was adopted on
