    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by B.
    Forcade):
    On December 18,
    1990, The Nutrasweet Company and Consumers
    Illinois Water Company
    (“NSC”) filed a Motion for Decision and
    Modification concerning NSC’s Adjusted Standard proceeding
    pending before the Board in AS 89—3 and the variance granted
    in
    PCB 88—84 on December 15,
    1988.
    At this time the Board will rule
    only on the motion for modification of the variance granted in
    PCB 88—84.
    The variance granted to NSC for its total dissolved solids
    discharge required that NSC file a site—specific rulemaking
    petition by July
    1, 1989;
    to apply for any construction permits
    by December
    31, 1990; and to complete installation of any
    required controls by December
    31,
    1991.
    It
    is the internal
    deadline for the application for construction permits by December
    31, 1990 from which NSC now seeks relief.
    NSC request the Board
    to allow NSC a period of two months after the Board’s decision in
    AS 89—3 to apply for construction permits should construction be
    necessary to comply with the Board’s order.
    NSC anticipates that
    any required construction could be completed by the December 31,
    1991 deadline.
    NSC represents that the Illinois Environmental Protection
    Agency supports the requested relief and will not be filing a
    response to this motion.
    As this request relates to an internal deadline
    in the
    variance previously granted by this Board and the Agency appears
    to be in agreement with the petitioner, the Board will grant an
    extension of the deadline for application of construction
    permits.
    However, consistent with the Board’s preference to
    grant such relief only for
    a limited time and only until a date
    certain, the Board hereby grants NSC’s motion for modification of
    the date by which NSC must apply
    for any construction permits
    until May 9,
    1991.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
