)

ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by 3. Theodore Meyer):

This matter comes before

the Board upon a June 27,

1986

Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT)

request

for approval

of

a permit for

the Waukegan Port District’s

(Port District)

project which included

the replacement of the

failing dockage

system

in Waukegan Harbor and expansion of the system into part

of the harbor currently used for moorings.

By order

dated July

11,

1986 the Board

found

the permit application deficient and

ordered

the submittal

of additional

information within 45 days.

By letter dated February 13,

1987,

the Port District’s

engineer stated

that:

“The project commenced upon receipt of

the Corp

of Engineers Permit

to construct the project.

The project work was completed by December

20,

1986.

The work was performed

in accordance with

the plans

and specifications as well

as

the

requirements of the various permitting agencies.”

February 13,

1987 letter

at

2.

Since the

Board

never authorized signature of the permit by

the Chairman,

the latter statement

is clearly erroneous.

As this

record contains no explanation as

to why the project was

completed prior

to issuance of

a valid permit,

the Board declines

to further consider

this matter.

The Chairman

is directed

to

return

the permit materials to IDOT unsigned and the Clerk

is

requested

to send

a copy of this Order

to the Army Corps of

Engineers.

This matter

is dismissed.

IT

IS

SO ORDERED.

I, Dorothy

Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
