ORDER OF THE BOARD (by R.C. Flemal):

On July 18, 2000, the City of Geneva, filed this petition for an adjusted standard pursuant to Section 28.1 of

the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/28.1) (1998)). The petitioner requests that the Board grant an

adjusted standard from 35 Ill. Adm. Code 807.104, as those rules apply to the wastewater treatment facility owned

by petitioner in Kane County, Illinois.

Section 28.1 of the Act and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.711 require publication of a notice of an adjusted

standard proceeding in a newspaper of general circulation in the area affected by the petitioner’s activity. The notice

must be published within 14 days of the filing of the petition. On July 28, 2000, petitioner filed a “Certificate of

Publication,” indicating that notice of the petition was published in the

Kane County Chronicle

on July 21, 2000.

The Board finds that the notice meets the requirements of Section 28.1 of the Act and 35 Ill. Adm. Code

106.711 and accepts this matter for hearing. Hearings shall be scheduled and completed in a timely manner. The

assigned hearing officer shall inform the Clerk of the Board of the time and location of hearing at least 40 days in

advance of hearing so that a 30-day public notice of hearing may be published. Unless otherwise ordered by the

hearing officer, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency shall file a response including its recommendations

concerning the Board’s proposed action on this petition within 45 days after service of the petition. See 35 Ill. Adm.

Code 106.505(a).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that the above order was

adopted on the 10th day of August 2000 by a vote of 5-0.
