ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Marlin):

This matter comes before the Board upon receipt of an Agency

Recommendation dated October 16, 1989. The recommendation refers

to a request from Petitioner, Microswitch for a 30 day

provisional variance from the 90—day on—site limitations for

hazardous wastes set forth in 35 Ill. Mm. Code 722.134(b).

Upon receipt of the request the Agency issued its

recommendation, concluding that the hazardous wastes must remain

on—site for longer than 90 days due to unforeseen, temporary and

uncontrollable circumstances and failure to grant the requested

30—day provisional variance would impose an arbitrary or

unreasonable hardship

on

Petitioner.

The Board concurs with the Agency

Recommendation; Petitioner

is granted a provisional variance from 35

Ill.

Adm. Code

722.134(b) from September 22, 1989 to October 22, 1989.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
