ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by J.

D.

Dumelle):

When a variance petition and a petition for an alternative

standard pursuant to Rule 204(g) have been filed as a single

document, the Board has separately docketed the petitions.

CPC

International,

Inc. v.

IEPA,

PCB 82—153, CPC International, Inc.

V.

IEPA,

PCB 83—11; Olin Corporation v. IEPA, •PCB 83—44, and

Olin Corporation v.

IEPA,

PCB 83—46.

In this instance, the two

petitions were simultaneously filed.

The variance is assigned

PCB 83—49, and the alternative standard request is docketed as

PCB 83—55.

As in the cases cited above, the same hearing officer

will be assigned to the variance petition and the alternative

standard request, and the parties are free to successively

schedule the hearings necessary to both.

Hearing

is neither waived nor requested by Petitioner on

this Variance Petition filed April 13,

1983.

Petitioner alleges

that should variance from Chapter

2:

Air Pollution Rule 204(f)

be granted,

it will not necessitate an amendment to the State

Implementation Plan (SIP).

Petitioner does not explain this

allegation.

Perhaps it

is based upon a belief that the parallel

request for an alternative standard pursuant to Rule 204(g)

is

more properly the SIP amendment,

should it be granted in PCB 83-55.

However, in the event that final action in that matter is delayed,

it is possible that the variance will have to be submitted to the

United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Therefore, on its

own motion the Board orders that hearing be set in this matter.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I,

Christan L. Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution

Control Board, hereby certify that the above Order was adopted
