ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by J,D.

Dumelle):

On August

5,

1983 the Quaker Oats Company filed

a petition

for variance from Section 12(a) of the Illinois Environmental

Protection Act and 35

Ill. Adm.

Code 304.102(a)

and 304,141 to

allow wastewater discharges from its paperboard manufacturing

plant

in Pekin, through an “industrial ditch” and a “short chan-

nel” to the Illinois River

in excess of its permit limitations.

That petition is deficient in that hearing is neither

requested nor waived as required by Section 104.124 of the

procedural rules.

Further, the assessment of the environmental

impact

is limited to the impact upon the Illinois River and

additional

information should be provided regarding the character

of the “industrial ditch”

and the ‘~shortchannel” and the

environmental impact upon

them.

Unless an amended petition

is filed within 45 days of the

date of this Order curing the above-noted defects, this petition

will be subject to dismissal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
