ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by J.D.
Dumelle):
This matter comes before the Board on the City of Morris’
motion to modify the Board’s previous Order of May 19,
1988.
More specifically, the City of Morris seeks a two—year extension
of the date on which
it is required to submit
its Amended
Petition
in accordance with the original Board Order.
The City
asserts
that
to submit an amended petition on or before November
1, 1991
(the required date) will
not allow the City sufficient
time to obtain the representative or valid results of
its
construction.
To support
this contention,
the City maintains
that “one year may be very dry” and that only one year of
monitoring constitutes
“a short time frame which may have
abnormal rainfalls and discharges.”
The Board finds
this reasoning
to be unpersuasive
in that
it
is both premature and speculative.
Should the City complete its
construction
in
a timely fashion and then confront some
legitimate monitoring problems, the Board will undoubtedly listen
to its arguments because they would be ripe.
Accordingly,
this
motion
is hereby denied and the City of Morris
is required to
meet the requirements set forth in the Board’s May 19, 1988
Order.
IT
IS SO ORDERED.
I,

Board hereby certify
