ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by J. Theodore Meyer):

This matter is before the Board on the City of Peru’s petition

for exception

to the combined sewer

overflow

(CSO)

regulations

found at 35 Ill.Adm.Code 306.305(a) and

(b).

On April

1,

1987, the

Board granted Peru a temporary exception from the CSO rules, with

the requirement that Peru file an amended petition for permanent

exception.

The instant petition for exception is filed in response

to that requirement.

The petition

is

accepted,

and this matter

will

continue

pursuant

to

the

procedures

of

35

Ill.Adm.Code

306.Subpart

D.

While

those

procedures

expired

in

1986.,

in a

handful of cases, such as this, the Board retained jurisdiction of

the

matter

so

that

it

could

consider

the permanent

exception

pursuant to those rules.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I,

Dorothy N.

Gunn,

Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control

Board,

hereby certi~y that the

above

Order was

adopted

on

the

~

day of

1991,

by a vote of
