PROPOSAL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.

REASON FOR DELAY.

ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by E. Dunham):

Section 13.3 of the Environmental Protection Act

(Act)

(415

ILCS 5/13.3

(1992))

requires the Board to adopt regulations which

are “identical in substance” with U.S. EPA wastewater

pretreatment rules adopted pursuant to Sections 307(b),

307(c),

307(d),

402(b) (8),

and 402(b) (9)

of the Federal Water Pollution

Control Act (Clean Water Act),

as amended.

The term “identical

in substance” has recently been defined in Section 7.2 of the

Act.

Section 7.2(b)

of the Act requires the Board to adopt a

rule within one year of adoption of federal rule, unless the

Board extends the time based on

a finding that the time is

insufficient and stating the reasons.

It appears that the

regulations in this Docket will be late.

The Board

is therefore

entering this order to extend the time.

The Board hereby finds that an extension of time

is

necessary.

The presently—anticipated completion date for this

proceeding is June 16,

1995.

The reason for delay in adopting

these regulations is staff turnover which required the

reassignment of this matter to a new Board Member for

coordination.

The Board today adopts a proposal for public comment in a

separate opinion and order.

Pursuant to Section 7.2(b)

of the

Act, the Board will submit a copy of the text of this order for

publication in the Illinois Register as expeditiously as

possible.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
