    PROPOSED RULE.
    SECOND NOTICE.
    PROPOSED OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J. Anderson):
    This matter
    is before the Board on the petition of Gifford—
    Hall American Lock Joint,
    Inc.
    (GHA)
    for site specific relief
    from the daily, intermediate, and final cover requirements
    of 35
    Ill. Adm.
    Code 807.305
    (a,b,c)
    for its disposal of concrete
    wastes at
    its South Beloit, Winnebago County, reinforced concrete
    pipe manufacturing facility.
    The Board previously adopted and
    authorized first notice publication
    of this rule,
    and first
    notice publication
    in the Illinois Register appeared on March 13,
    1987 at
    11 Ill.
    Reg.
    4215.
    On April
    30,
    1987,
    the Board adopted
    a Proposed Opinion and Order directing the Clerk
    to submit the
    proposed rule
    to the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules
    (JCAR), pursuant to second notice
    requirements
    of the
    Administrative Procedure Act
    (APA)
    (Ill.
    Rev.
    Stat.
    1985,
    ch.
    127,
    par.
    1001 et seq.).
    Prior
    to the mailing of
    the second notice submittal
    to JCAR,
    the Board was notified that GHA Lock Joint,
    Inc.
    had sold the
    South Beloit plant to the Cretex Companies,
    Inc., and that the
    facility had been renamed Cretex Pressure Pipe,
    Inc.
    (Cretex).
    The Board then vacated its April
    30, 1987 Opinion and Order.
    Cretex subsequently filed
    an affidavit executed by
    its president,
    which stated that Cretex adopted and reaffirmed
    the record
    created
    by GHA.
    On 1July 16,
    1987,
    the Board granted relief
    to
    Cretex on the basis of the hearing record
    arid
    the Cretex
    affidavit,
    and authorized
    the second notice submittal
    of the
    rule.
    By its Order of February
    25,
    1988,
    the Board noted that
    adoption of
    a second first notice order was necessary,
    since
    first notice publication occurred on March 13,
    1987, and was not
    sufficient
    time for this rule
    to proceed to final adoption within
    the one—year period required by Section 5.01(d)
    of the APA.
    89—363
    —2—
    The
    facts, history,
    and reasons behind the rule remain as
    set forth
    in the Board’s July 16,
    1987 Opinion and Order,
    and
    will not be reiterated here.
    First notice of
    this proposal was published
    at 12
    Ill.
    Reg.
    5168,
    March
    19,
    1988.
    The only comment received during the first
    notice period was that from the Administrative Code Unit
    requesting format corrections, which have been made
    in the rules
    as set forth below.
    ORDER
    The Board hereby proposes the following rule for first
