    ORDER
    OF
    THE
    BOARD
    (by
    J.
    Anderson):
    On July 25,
    1991,
    Oather
    Druen,
    Evelyn
    Druen,
    and
    Amy
    Pirtle
    filed a formal noise complaint against Mr. James Leonard for the
    emission of excessive noise from his grain drying operations in
    violation of 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 900.102.
    On July 31,
    1991,
    Mr.
    Leonard filed a motion to dismiss the complaint.
    In support of
    his motion,
    Mr. Leonard states,
    in part, that
    35 Ill.
    Adin.
    Code
    901.107(c)
    exempts farm operations such as grain drying from the
    noise regulations at 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 901.102 through 901.106.
    Although 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 901.107(c)
    exempts agricultural
    field machinery used during daytime hours from the numerical
    noise limitations of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 901.102 through 901.106,
    it does not exempt such machinery from the narrative noise
    provision of 35
    Ill.
    Adm. Code 900.102.
    Accordingly,
    the Board
    denies Mr. Leonard’s motion to dismiss,
    and this matter will be
    set for hearing.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
