    Opinion and Order of the Board
    (by Mr.
    Currie)
    The LaSaile National Bank,
    as
    Trustee under Trust Number
    39311 and representing
    the developer of the Vermilion Garden
    Apartments in Danvilie, Illinois,
    (“petitioner”)
    petitioned
    the Board on
    June
    25,
    1971,
    for
    “a variance from the denial
    of an application
    for a permit
    to use the sewer facilities
    of the Danville Sanitary District.”
    The denial had been issued
    by
    the Environmental Protection Agency on December
    8,
    1970.
    On May
    26,
    1971,
    the Board had ordered the District to
    make no new sewer connections
    to increase the load on its
    treatment facilities until the monthly average BOD effluent
    concentration had been reduced to
    20 mg/i and the suspended
    solids concentration had been reduced to
    50
    mg/i
    (EPA v.
    Danville Sanitary District, PCB
    71-28),
    The petitioner~sre-
    quest related to both
    the original denial
    by.
    the Agency of
    its
    application to hook onto the facilities of
    the Danville Sanitary
    District and to our order of May
    26,
    1971.
    On August
    13,
    1971,
    the Board adopted
    a second supple-
    mental opinion and order in the Danville Sanitary District,
    case
    in which the previously imposed ban on further sewer
    connections
    in the District was modified to permit additional
    connections not to exceed 1500 P,E,
    in the coming year provided
    that further connections are to cease if effluent levels are
    exceeded, specifically
    if the monthly average BOD exceeds
    30 mg/i
    or if suspended solids exceeds 25 mg/i.
    The questions raised by the petitioner~s request of June
    25,
    1971,
    for
    a variance have now been rendered moot by
    the
    Board~sdecision of August
    13,
    1971
    in
    PCB 71-28
    and, accord-
    ingly,
    we
    order said petition dismissed forthwith.
