    IN THE MATTER OF:
    THE PETITION OF THE VILLAGE
    )
    OF SAUGET AND THE CITY OF EAST
    )
    R80-
    ST. LOUIS RE:
    RULE 602 OF
    CHAPTER 3.
    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by D.
    Satchell):
    On September 30,
    1980 the Village
    of Sauget and the City of
    East St. Louis filed a petition for amendment to Rule 602 of
    Chapter
    3:
    Water Pollution.
    The petition contains two alter-
    native proposals.
    The second is complete exemption of the East
    St. Louis sewer discharge from Chapter
    3 except for Part II.
    This
    would exempt the discharge from the NPDES permit requirement and
    procedural rules of Part
    IX, Subpart A.
    No statement of reasons
    for this appears in the petition as required by Procedural Rule
    203.
    In addition, the proposal, if adopted, would bring into
    question the applicability of the following:
    Part
    I, including
    Rule
    104, definitions;
    Part V, ntonitoring and reporting;
    Part
    VI, including Rule
    604, restricted status; Part IX, Subpart B,
    other permits;
    and Part XII,
    treatment plant operator certification.
    The proposal contains no statement of reasons for exempting East
    St. Louis from these provisions.
    The proposal could be construed
    as not intending exemption from these provisions; however, the
    Board will insist that the language be clarified,
    or reasons given,
    prior to authorizing hearings.
    Alternate
    1 proposes only exemption from subparts of Rule
    602:
    Combined Sewers and Treatment Plant Bypasses and exemption from
    Part IV:
    Effluent Standards.
    The petition includes a discussion
    of biochemical oxygen demand
    (BOO)
    and total suspended solids
    (TSS),
    but no discussion of the other parameters regulated under Part IV.
    The proposal contains no alternative effluent standards.
    In addition to effluent standards, Part IV contains other
    provisions.
    Rule 402 provides that no effluent shall cause water
    quality violations.
    Exemption from this rule contradicts the pro-
    vision that the discharge is not to be exempt from Part II:
    Water
    Quality Standards.
    The Board has recently adopted a policy against authorizing
    hearings on proposals which seek site specific regulations by way
    of addition to existing language through interlineation or new
    subsections.
    In the event the proponents wish to file an amendment
    —2—
    addressing the noted deficiencies,
    it should take the form of a
    series of separate rules for each Part of the Board’s rules.
    These
    should stand alone and fully state the conditions of their applica-
    bility and their relationship to other Board rules within the Part.
    Authorization for hearings is denied.
    This matter will be
    subject to dismissal unless an amended proposal addressing the
    noted deficiencies
    is filed within forty-five days.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Christan L. Moffett,
    Clerk of the Illinois Pollution
    Control Board,
    hereby certf
    that the above Order was ad9pted
    on the
    ~‘~‘
