    TO THE COMBINED SEWER

    ORDER OF THE
    BOARD
    (by
    3.
    Theodore Meyer):
    This
    matter
    is
    before
    the
    Board
    on
    the
    City
    of
    LaSallets
    motion for clarification of the Board’s April
    1,
    1987 Order in this
    proceeding.
    That
    April
    1,
    1987
    decision
    granted
    LaSalle
    a
    temporary
    combined sewer
    overflow
    (CSO)
    exception,
    and required
    LaSalle
    to
    submit an amended petition
    for exception by March
    1,
    1990.
    (On November
    17,
    1988, the Board granted LaSalle’s motion
    for modification
    and extension.
    LaSalle now has until March
    1,
    1991 to
    file
    its amended petition.)
    The Illinois Environmental
    Protection Agency (Agency) has not filed a response to the instant
    motion for clarification.
    LaSalle’s motion asks the Board to specify where it
    (LaSalle)
    is to file the Cso monitoring reports which are required by the
    Board’s April
    1,
    1987
    Order and by the NPDES
    permits
    issued
    to
    LaSalle by the Agency.
    LaSalle states that its most recent permit
    requires it to file these reports with the Board rather than the
    Agency,
    as LaSalle had been doing since
    1987.
    Because the Agency has not responded to this motion, the Board
    is unsure why LaSalle’s
    permit now requires that the reports be
    submitted to the Board rather than the Agency.
    Common practice
    has always been, and that practice was originally followed in this
    case, that reports are submitted to the Agency.
    The Board believes
    that this is the proper procedure, and to any extent that our April
    1,
    1987
    Order may have been
    ambiguous,
    finds that LaSalle’s CSO
    monitoring reports should be submitted to the Agency instead of the
    Board.
    Therefore,
    notwithstanding the permit condition,
    LaSalle
    is directed to submit their monitoring reports to the Agency only.
    Of
    course,
    because
    LaSalle
    must
    submit
    another
    petition
    for
    exception, the Board presumes that the information in those reports
    will
    eventually
    be
    submitted
    to
    the
    Board
    in
    support
    of
    that
    petition.
    For
    the
    time
    being,
    however,
    the reports
    should
    be
    submitted to the Agency only.
