ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Yi):
On August 23, 1995 the Galesburg Sanitary District (District)
filed a petition for variance for its wastewater treatment plant
located at 2700 W. Main Street, Galesburg, Knox County Illinois.
The District is requesting relief from the requirements of 35
Ill. Adin. Code 304.207(b) (1) as this section applies to the
District’s deoxygenating waste discharges. The District filed
the petition pursuant to Section 35 of the Environmental
Protection Act (Act). (415 ILCS 5/35 (1994).) On October 5,
1995 the Board found that we
have
the authority in a variance
proceeding to make a determination as to the interpretation of 35
Ill. Adm. Code 304.207(b) (1), the regulation which petitioner is
requesting relief, and established a briefing schedule for the
parties.
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) on
October 16, 1995 filed a motion for an extension of time to file
its brief which is due October 31, 1995. The Agency states that
due to the post-hearing briefing schedule in AS 94-20, in_the
Matter of: Petition of the Galesburg Sanitary District~
Galesburq.
Illinois
For an Ad-justed Standard from 35 Ill. Adm.
Code 304.105 ~(AmmoniaNitrogeni requires the Agency attorney, who
is assigned to both of these matters, to file its brief on
October 27, 1995. The Agency is requesting an extension of time
to file until November 13, 1995.
On October 17, 1995 the District filed a response to the
Agency’s motion. The District does not object to the Agency’s
request but states that its attorney will be attending a.
conference November 15-17 and would require additional time to
respond.
Since the current decision deadline in this matter will
restart from the date of the filing of the amended petition, if
this matter proceeds as a variance, and the current decision
deadline in this matter is December 21, 1995, we grant the
2
Agency’s motion. The Agency brief is now due on or before
November 13, 1995. Since the Agency will be filing its brief on
November 13, 1995 and the District’s attorney will not be able to
respond until after November 17, 1995, the District’s response
will be due on or before November 23, 1995.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
