ORDER OF THE

BOARD

(by

J. Theodore Meyer):

This matter comes before the Board upon receipt of

an Agency

Recommendation dated January 19,

1989.

The recommendation refers

to

a request from Petitioner, Northwestern Steel

and Wire Co.

for

a

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

for hazardous wastes set forth at 35

Ill.

Adm. 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 December

28,

1988

to January 27,

1989.

IT

IS SO ORDERED.

Pollution Control

Board, hereby certify that the above
