ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Theodore Meyer):

This matter is before the Board on petitioner Camsco Produce

Company, Inc.’s (Camsco) February 22, 1988 motion to withdraw

petition for variance. Respondent Illinois Environmental

Protection Agency (Agency) has stated that it will not file a

response to the motion, but has no objection to it.

Camsco filed a petition for variance on December 3, 1985,

and an amended petitition on January 17, 1986. The petition

sought a six—month variance from National Pollution Discharge

Elimination System (NPDES) limitations on biochemical oxygen

demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS), and ammonia—N

discharges from Carnsco’s Prince Crossing mushroom farm. Camsco

subsequently filed a number of waivers, waiving its rights to an

Agency recommendation and Board decision. In the instant motion

to withdraw the variance petition, Camsco states that its

mushroom farm has been annexed to the City of West Chicago,

Illinois, and that the farm has been allowed to tie into the West

Chicago sewer system. The farm now discharges all its wastewater

to West Chicago’s sewer system. Thus, the farm no longer needs a

variance to meet NPDES limitations, and has requested

cancellation of its NPDES permits.

The motion to withdraw the petition for variance is granted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Board, hereby certify~hat the above Order was adopted on
