ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by 3. Anderson):

On June 1,

1992, D

& L Landfill, Inc. and D & L Disposal, Inc.

(D & L) filed a petition seeking an adjusted standard from 35 Ill.

Adm. Code 814.104(a),

814.401, and 814.501.

On June 26,

1992, D

&

L

filed its certificate of publication pursuant to 35

Ill.

Adm.

Code 106.712.

On June 26,

1992,

a request for public hearing

was

filed on behalf of several citizens of Bond County.

D

& L is seeking the adjusted standard so that it can continue

to accept waste for an additional two years beyond the September

18, 1992 deadline for closure and initiate closure by September 18,

1994,

in

accordance

with

the

currently

approved

or

revised

closure/post—closure, plan.

The Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency is not a coP-petitioner and thus will be filing a response

pursuant to the regulations.

On June 29, 1992, filed a request for

public hearing on D

& L’s petition.

D

&

L’s petition meets

the informational requirements. for

adjusted standard petitions set forth in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.705.

The Board therefore authorizes hearing in this matter.

There are,

however,

several

questions

and

issues

that

are

raised

in

the

petition.

The

answers

to

the

questions

are

relevant

to

a

determination as to whether there

is sufficient justification to

support the requested relief.

Accordingly,

D

& L should address

the following questions and issues at hearing:

1.

D

&

L

states

that

the

Agency

issued

two

supplemental permits, after the effective date

of

the

Board’s

landfill

regulations1

on

October 16, 1991,

and February 15,

1992.

D

&

L should submit copies and an explanation of

the permits; an update of the latest revision

of

the

permit

application

for

the

lateral

expansion;

and

an

explanation

of

how

the

planned

lateral expansion

is related to the

existing

facility,

in

terms

of

distance,

monitoring programs, and gas management.

2.

D

&

L provides compliance costs

in which the

costs

of

different

tasks

associated

with

specific sections of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 811 are

broken down and indicates that the two major

costs are in the areas of final cover and gas

---

management.

D

& L should specify each of the

sections

in

35

Ill.

Adm.

Code 811

for which

the adjusted standard is to be sought.

3.

Although the compliance costs associated with

different

tasks

are

provided,

D

&

L

should

provide a comparison of those costs with the

benefits of those activities or the revenues

that will

be generated during the requested

two year extension period.

4.

D

&

L

should

address

the

issue

of

whether

there

is

sufficient

gas

capacity

at

the

existing

facility

that

can

be

beneficially

used.

If

so,

what

is

the

benefit

of

installing

the

gas

management

system

in

conjunction with the proposed gas management

system for the new lateral expansion?

IT IS SO ORDERED.
