ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL

PROTECTION AGENCY,

Respondent.

ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):

On September 8, 1993, the Knapheide Mfg. Co (“Knapheide”)

filed a petition for variance for its facility located in Quincy,

Illinois. The Knapheide Company has recently received a

provisional variance from the Board in PCB 93-141, July 29, 1993,

to allow it to move its operations from Missouri due to the

Mississippi flooding to Illinois. The Board in its opinion agreed

to expedite this proceeding.

Although the Board will expedite this matter, the petition

is deficient in that it fails to provide the supporting affidavit

as required pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 104.124. In addition,

the Board directs petitioners to address whether a hearing is

necessary in order to fulfill State Implementation Plan

requirements. Also, the information provided in the petition

concerning the economic hardship and compliance costs needs to be

more specific as required by 35 Ill. Adm. Code 104.121 (e)and(f).

Unless an amended petition is filed within 45 days of the

date of this order, curing the above-noted defect(s), this matter

will be subject to dismissal. The Board notes that for purposes

of calculation of the decision deadline pursuant to Section 38 of

the Act, the filing of an amended petition will restart the

Board’s 120 day deadline.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

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