    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by B. Forcade):
    On December 6, 1988, Koopers Company, Inc., Chicago Tar
    Plant (“Koopers”) filed a petition for variance, seeking relief
    from Board regulations and “Sewage and Waste Control Ordinance of
    the Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater Chicago, Article
    III.” That petition is deficient in that it contains two areas
    of uncertainty:
    1. The petition requests, but the Board is
    not authorized to grant, relief from the
    Metropolitan Sanitary District of Greater
    Chicago’s (“MSDGG”) rules and
    regulations; and
    2. The petition fails to state whether or
    not MSDGG is a necessary or proper party
    to the proceeding which seeks relief from
    Board regulations.
    Unless an amended petition is filed within 45 days of the
    date of this Order, curing the above—noted defects, this matter
    will be subject to dismissal. That amended petition should only
    request relief from this Board’s regulations. Further, the
    amended petition should either joint MSDGC as a necessary party
    or state that MSDGC has been served with the amended petition so
    that it might join the proceeding if it chooses to do so.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
