    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by R.C. Flemal):
    On November
    2,
    1990’ the Village of Round Lake Beach
    (“Village”)
    filed a motion for clarification
    (“Motion”).
    The
    Village requests that the Board clarify
    its Order of September
    11, 1986
    (72 PCB 275 et seq.)
    by holding that such Order
    “constitutes
    a compliance order mandating the acquisition,
    construction or improvement of water treatment facilities to
    accommodate Lake Michigan water as described in Ill. Rev.
    Stat.
    1989,
    ch.
    24, Sections 8—4—1(13)
    and 8—5—1”
    (Notion,
    p.
    3).
    The
    Village’s expressed purpose is to allow it to “proceed promptly
    with a bond issue to finance such facilities”
    (Id.).
    The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency filed
    a
    response on November 15,
    1990.
    No other responses have been
    received by the Board.
    The Village’s motion is denied.
    Even
    if, arguably, the
    Board’s Order of September 11,
    1986 constituted a compliance
    order for the particulars identified by the Village, that Order
    1
    A version of the motion absent
    a Certificate of Service was
    filed on October 26,
    1990.
    116—215

    —2—
    expired by its own terms on or before September Il,
    19892.
    Accordingly,
    there is no order which the Board could certify as
    constituting an active compliance order.
    Moreover,
    the Village requests particularly that the Board
    hold that the September
    11, 1986 Order “constitutes a compliance
    order mandating the acquisition,
    construction or improvement of
    water treatment facilities to accommodate Lake Michigan water”
    (Motion,
    p.
    3; emphasis added).
    The Board finds nothing in
    September 11, 1986 Order which may be construed as requiring
    facilities to “accommodate Lake Michigan water”.
    Rather,
    the
    Order requires only facilities for the blending of well waters,
    commensurate with the Village’s own expressed intention to
    achieve compliance with the radium standard via a blending
    program
    (see Opinion at
    p.
    4-6,
    72 PCB 287—9).
    IT
    IS SO ORDERED.
    I,
    Dorothy M. Gunn,
    Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
    Boar~ hereby certify
    at the above Order was adopted on the
    ~?7T~?.-~
    day of
    _____________________,
    1990, by a vote of
    2
    “Variance shall be effective this date and shall expire on
    September
    11,
    1989, or when analysis pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    605.105(a)
    shows compliance with the combined radium 226 and 228
    standard,
    whichever occurs
    first”
    (Condition
    #1 to the grant
    of
    variance in PCB 86—59, September 11,
    1986,
    72 PCB 287).
