    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by D.
    Anderson):
    On
    February
    2,
    1984
    Petitioners filed a motion for
    modification of paragraphs
    (1)(d)
    and
    (2)(d)
    of the Board’s
    December 29,
    1983 Order which granted Petitioners’ variances from
    sewer dischage criteria, effluent and water quality standards.
    The modifications requested would:
    decrease the frequency of
    monitoring at the plant discharge from daily to three times per
    week;
    and,
    remove the requirement of daily monitoring at the
    treatment plant outfall, allowing Illinois Environmental
    Protection Agency discretion as
    to frequency.
    Searle has
    monitored thrice weekly for much of the last year.
    The treatment
    plant outfall
    is presently monitored five times per week pursuant
    to NPDJ~Spermit condition.
    The modified Order would allow
    continuation of this.
    Petitioners state that the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Agency agrees with these changes.
    The
    motion
    is granted.
    Paragraph
    (l)(d) of the Order of December 29,
    1983 is
    modified to read as follows:
    d)
    Petitioners
    shall monitor their discharge and the
    stream for the following:
    total dissolved solids,
    sulfate,
    chloride, sodium and flow.
    The monitoring
    frequency shall be weekly at locations downstream of
    Park Forest South Utility Company’s outfall and three
    time per week at Petitioners’ discharge to the sewer.
    Paragraph
    (2)(d) of the Order of December 29,
    1983 is
    modified to read as follows:
    d)
    Petitioner shall monitor its effluent for the
    parameters in paragraph (2)(c),
    as
    required in its
    NPDES permit.
