DISMISSAL ORDER

ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by J. Anderson):

On July 11,

1986,

the Board ordered that inquiry hearings be

held to address whether it would be prudent to limit the level of

aluminum in drinking water supplies until further research can be

done on what the

relationship

is,

if

any,

between

aluminum and

Alzheirner’s Disease.

•A hearing was held on November 25,

1986.

There have been no

filings or further Board action in this proceeding since September

of 1987, except for some exhibits entered by the Hearing Officer in

February of 1989.

The Board has concluded

that

it would not

be

advisable

to

proceed further with this Docket.

The information

in the record

would need to be completely updated in order for the Board to even

deal with the merits of the issue.1

Accordingly,

this proceeding

is dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I,

Dorothy N.

Gunn,

Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control

Board, hereby certify that the above Order was adopted
