sewer or an inadequate treatment plant.

If

is an inadequate

sewer,

the program of correction of the sewer capacity should be

detailed.

In addition, the alternative of using holding tanks

to

prevent basement flooding,

if

present, should be explored.

The hardship if

the variance is not granted should be explained

at greater

length qiving the dates and amounts of damage caused by

vandalism.

Petitioner shall amend its Petition within 35 days from the

date of this Order

to provide the needed information.

A waiver of

the 90-day decision period set by statute shall also be filed for

the period elapsing until the Amended Petition is received.

Failure

to timely file the Amended Petition shall make

rnissal for inadequac~’.
