IN THE MATTER OF:
)
THE PETITION OF THE CITY
)
OF LaSALLE FOR EXCEPTION
)
PCB 86-2
TO THE COMBINED SEWER
)
(Combined Sewer
OVERFLOW REGULATIONS
)
Overflow)
ORDER OF THE
BOARD
(by
3.
Theodore Meyer):
This
matter
is
before
the
Board
on
the
City
of
LaSallets
motion for clarification of the Board’s April
1,
1987 Order in this
proceeding.
That
April
1,
1987
decision
granted
LaSalle
a
temporary
combined sewer
overflow
(CSO)
exception,
and required
LaSalle
to
submit an amended petition
for exception by March
1,
1990.
(On November
17,
1988, the Board granted LaSalle’s motion
for modification
and extension.
LaSalle now has until March
1,
1991 to
file
its amended petition.)
The Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency (Agency) has not filed a response to the instant
motion for clarification.
LaSalle’s motion asks the Board to specify where it
(LaSalle)
is to file the Cso monitoring reports which are required by the
Board’s April
1,
1987
Order and by the NPDES
permits
issued
to
LaSalle by the Agency.
LaSalle states that its most recent permit
requires it to file these reports with the Board rather than the
Agency,
as LaSalle had been doing since
1987.
Because the Agency has not responded to this motion, the Board
is unsure why LaSalle’s
permit now requires that the reports be
submitted to the Board rather than the Agency.
Common practice
has always been, and that practice was originally followed in this
case, that reports are submitted to the Agency.
The Board believes
that this is the proper procedure, and to any extent that our April
1,
1987
Order may have been
ambiguous,
finds that LaSalle’s CSO
monitoring reports should be submitted to the Agency instead of the
Board.
Therefore,
notwithstanding the permit condition,
LaSalle
is directed to submit their monitoring reports to the Agency only.
Of
course,
because
LaSalle
must
submit
another
petition
for
exception, the Board presumes that the information in those reports
will
eventually
be
submitted
to
the
Board
in
support
of
that
petition.
For
the
time
being,
however,
the reports
should
be
submitted to the Agency only.
