OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by J.D. Dumelle):

This matter comes before

the Board upon the Illinois

Environmental Protection Agency’s

(Agency) filing of

its

Recommendation concerning Petitioner’s request

for

a provisional

variance from

35

Ill. Adm. Code 722.134(b),

which prohibits the

on—site accumulation

of hazardous waste

in excess

of

90 days.

The Agency recommends that Petitioner

be allowed

to temporarily

store hazardous wastes on—site from February

12,

1988

to March

13,

1988.

After

investigation,

the Agency concludes that the wastes

must remain on—site for longer than the ninety

(90)

days due

to

unforeseen,

temporary and uncontrollable circumstances;

and that

compliance with the accumulation time requirements would

impose

an arbitrary or unreasonable hardship.

The Agency recommends

that the provisional variance

be granted from February 12,

1988

until March

13, 1988.

Pursuant to Section

35(b)

of the Act,

the Board hereby

grants the provisional variance as recommended.

This Opinion

constitutes the Board’s findings

of fact and conclusions of law

in this matter.

ORDER

Taracorp Industries,

is hereby granted

a provisional

variance pursuant to

35

Ill. Adm.

Code 722.134(b)

to store

twenty—five

(25)

drums of hazardous waste from February 12, 1988

to March

13,

1988.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
