ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Opinion

 & Order of the Board

 (by Mr. Currie):

Deerfield petitioned

 for extension to December,

1973

of the June

 1972 deadline

 (Rules

 and Regulations

 SWB-14)

 for ad-

vanced sewage treatment,

 alleging that delays

 in obtaining the

approval of

 the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission for

the improved plant as part o~the regional plan had caused

a

justifiable delay

 in commencing construction,

 Since the filing

of the petition, we adopted

 a new December

 1973 deadline

 for such

treatment throughout the State,

on

 the basis of revisions in

the substantive requirements governing advanced treatment.

See Water Quality Standards Revisions,

 #R 71-l4, March

7,

1972.

 The Village’s proposed schedule is within the new dead-

line, and therefore

 there

 is no need for

 a variance.

The

petition

 is therefore dismissed

 as moot.

I, Christan Moffett, Clerk of the Pollution Control Board,

certify

~t

 the Board adopted the above Opinion and Order

this

~‘

 day of April,

 1972, by a vote of
