    ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
    Opinion and Order of the Board
    (by Mr.
    Currie)
    The petitioner seeks
    a variance to permit the connection of one
    new home
    to
    a sewer serving the overloaded Waukegan sewage treat-
    ment plant.
    The sworn allegations, which
    are not contradicted,
    show
    that this
    is
    a hardship case involving
    a federal housing program to
    assist persons of limite~Imeans
    to obtain decent housing.
    The
    petitioner and her family have been ordered
    to leave their present
    quarters,
    and
    they made arrangements
    for federal aid before the sewer
    ban was
    imposed.
    The case
    is governed by our decision
    in Patricia
    Development
    Co.
    v.
    EPA,
    # 71—161,
    September
    16,
    1971,
    and the
    variance
    is hereby granted.
    I, Regina

    that the Board adopted the above Opinion and Order of the Board
    this
    14
