Illinois Pollution Control Board Grants 15-day Provisional Variance to U.S.
Chrome Corporation of Illinois
Chicago
- The Illinois Pollution Control Board granted a 15-day
provisional variance to U.S. Chrome Corporation of Illinois for its facility located
in Boone County, Illinois. The provisional variance will allow U.S. Chrome to
continue accumulating hazardous waste for a period in excess of 90 days.
This action, docketed as PCB 01-95, was taken by the Board upon
notification by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency that compliance
with the accumulation time requirements set forth at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.134
would impose an arbitrary or unreasonable hardship on Abbott Laboratories.
