ORDER OF

THE BOARD

(by

J.

Theodore Meyer):

This matter

is before the Board on a September

18,

1989

petition for extension and modification of variance,

filed by

Roadmaster Corporation.

Roadmaster

seeks an extension o~the

variance granted by the Board on September

8,

1988,

in PCB

87—136.

That variance,

which expires on September

30,

1989,

allows Roadmaster an exemption from

35

Ill.

Adm. Code

215.204(j)(3) for volatile organic material

(VOM) emissions

from

its flowcoaters.

Roadmaster has also filed for

a site—specific

rule change for the two flowcoaters

in R88—l9.

On July

13, 1989,

the Board proposed for first notice the site—specific relief

sought by Roadmaster

in R88—19, with certain conditions.

Roadmaster now seeks an extension of its variance pending the

completion

of

the rulemaking.

Roadmaster filed its request for extension as

a new petition,

pursuant to

35

Ill. Adm. Code 104.123.

However, because the

Board anticipates that the rulemaking process may be completed

before

it could

rule upon the request for variance,

the

Board

will suspend the operation of Section 104.123 for purposes o~

this proceeding.

Roadmaster’s

request will be treated as

a

motion.

The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s time to

respond to the motion begins to run on the date of this Order.

The request will be considered in PCB 87—136.

PCB 89—147

is

hereby closed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

J.D. Dumelle dissented and B. Forcade was not present.

I, Dorothy M. Gunn,

Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control

Board, hereby certi~ythat the above Order was adopted on the

f~’T7~day of
