    )
    PROPOSED RULE.
    SECOND FIRST 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 July 16,
    1987,
    the Board granted relief to
    Cretex on the basis of the hearing record and the Cretex
    affidavit,
    and authorized the second notice submittal of the
    rule.
    Since
    first notice publicat~ionoccurred on March
    13,
    1987,
    there
    is 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.
    Therefore,
    the Board today sends the proposed rule
    to second
    first notice so that the rule may ultimately be
    adopted.
    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.
