ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by Mr. Dumelle):

On November

3,

1978 Petitioners requested a variance from

Rule 203(d) (9) (iv) (C)

of the Board’s Air Pollution Control Regula-

tions.

The Petition is improper because

it requests relief for

a statewide class of sources.

This sort of relief should be

addressed in a Petition which conforms with Title VII of the

Act and Part

II of the Board’s Procedural Rules.

As a variance request the Petition is inadequate in the

following respects.

First,

it fails to disclose the quantity of

the materials discharged as required by Procedural Rule 401 (a) (4).

Second,

it fails to include the estimated costs involved to

achieve compliance as required by Procedural Rule 401(a) (6).

Third,

it does not provide an adequate assessment of the environmental

impact of the requested relief as required by Procedural

Rule

401(a) (7).

Consequently, the Petition is hereby dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Christan

Contrçl Board,
