    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by CA. Manning):
    On August 16, 1994, the Village of Hoffman Estates
    (“Village”) filed a petition for variance for its public water
    supply facility. The Village is a municipal corporation with
    50,000 residents located in northwest Cook County and is a member
    of the Joint Action Water Agency which supplies water from Lake
    Michigan for the Village’s public water supply. The petition
    requests a variance from the public notification requirements of
    Subpart T, 35 Ill. Adm. Code 611.851
    —
    611.855.
    A sufficient petition must satisfy the petition content
    requirements of the Board’s procedural rules in 35 Ill. Adm Code
    Sections 104.120—104.124. The petition filed by the Village is
    deficient in that is missing three essential elements: (1) the
    petition fails to include a plan for ultimate compliance or any
    basis for relief from the compliance plan requirment of Section
    104.121; (2) the Village’s petition fails to indicate whether the
    Board’s granting of the requested variance would be consistent
    with federal law as is required in Section 104.122; and (3) the
    petition does not indicate whether the Village is requesting a
    hearing pursuant to Section 104.123, or whether the Village is
    waiving the hearing.
    Unless an amended petition is filed within 45 days of the
    date of this order, curing the above—noted defects, this matter
    will be subject to dismissal pursuant to Section 104.124. The
    Board notes that for purposes of calculation of the decision
    deadline pursuant to Section 38 of the Environmental Protection
    Act (415 ILCS 5/38), the filing of an amended petition will
    restart the Board’s 120-day deadline.

    IT IS SO ORDERED.

    Board, hereby certify that the above order was adopted on the
