ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Yi):
On October 20, 1995, Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency (Agency) filed a motion for extension of time in which to
file recommendation until November 17, 1995.
On May 23, 1995, Marathon Oil Company (Marathon) filed a
petition for variance from 35 Ill. Adm. Code 216.361(a) with
respect to the emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) from its CO
Boiler located at its refinery in Robinson, Illinois.
On June 22, 1995, the Agency filed its recommendation
requesting the Board to deny the petition for variance because
the Agency did not have adequate information in which to evaluate
the petition. On September 20, 1995, a meeting was held between
the Agency and Marathon representatives and subsequently, on
September 22, 1995, Marathon filed an amended petition for
variance.
Under 35 Ill. Adm Code 104.180(a), the Agency must make a
recommendation to the Board within 30 days after the filing of
the petition. The Agency states that the time imposed by 35 Ill.
Adm. Code 104.180(a) is not adequate and is requesting additional
time to review the additional information submitted by Marathon
in its amended petition. Petitioner's attorney has agreed to the
extension and the Agency feels that extending the time for the
filing of the recommendation does not prejudice the petitioner.
A hearing has been scheduled for December 12, 1995.
The Board grants the Agency's motion to file recommendation
until November 17, 1995.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
board, hereby certify that the above order was adopted on the
day of , 1995, by a vote of .
