ORDER OF THE BOARD (by Dr. Satchel?)

On April 18, 1980 the Environmental Protection

Agency filed

a motion to dismiss the variance petition

filed April 3, 1980 by

the Village of Sauget (Sauget), which requests a variance from

Rules 601(c) (1) and (2) of Chapter 3:

Water Pollution regarding

combined sewer overflows.

The petition states that a variance is

needed to allow planning of a new facility

which will not conform

with these rules.

Sauget recognizes the need for permanent relief

and states that it will file a regulatory proposal within four

months, but that a variance is needed to allow planning to proceed

towards submission of a permit application

in November 1980.

Al-

though Board rules forbid issuance of construction permits for

facilities which will not conform with its rules, these rules do

not forbid planning such a facility. The petition is dismissed

without prejudice to Saugets right to file a new petition when

the issue is ripe.

IT IS SO

ORDERED.

I, Christan L. Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution

Control 2oard, hereby certify the above Order was adopted on
