ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by Dr. Satchell):

On January 28, 1980 General Electric Company

(GE)

filed a

variance petition requesting relief from manifest requirements

of Rules

301 and 302 of Chapter 9:

Special Waste Hauling Requ-

lations

Since the petition fails

to specifically request or

waive a hearing it is deficient under Procedural Rule 401(b),

Furthermore,

there is no compliance olan as required by Pro-

cedural Rule 401(a) (6),

According to the petition GE manufac-

tures lamps for photographic use at its Mattoon Lamp Plant,

Coles County.

It generates one to five loads of borosilicate

glass scraps per day which are landfilled,

It has obtained

a

special waste permit but seeks

a variance from the manifest

requirements.

The petition does not contain a detailed esti-

mate of the cost of compliance which may be necessary to sup-

port an allegation of arbitrary and unreasonable hardship.

GE

should investigate the cost of manifest

forms

with the necessary

information pre-printed and savings which may be achieved by

using a copy of the manifest for internal record keeping as was

suggested by the Board in its Opinion of March 15, 1979

(33 PCB

131, l47)~

Unless additional information

is received within forty-

five days of the date of this Order, the petition will be sub-

ject

to

dismissal.
