ORDER OF THE BOARD (by B. Forcade):
On March 5, 1987, the Board issued a final Opinion and Order
in this matter granting Schrock a short—term variance from the
particulate emission limitations of 35 Ill. Adni. Code 212.204, as
that regulatory language applied to Schrock’s burning of wood
residue. The Board helä that the regulatory language did apply
to Schrock’s operation and that long—term variance relief could
not be granted without a more definitive compliance plan.
On April 9, 1987, Schrock filed a motion for reconsideration
of the Board’s decision. That motion referenced Schrock’s
recently filed site—specific proposal (R87—12: filed April 13,
1987) and provided details on Schrock’s method of compliance
should regulatory relief be denied (Motion, p. 5). On April 27,
1987, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency filed an
opposition to the motion for reconsideration, asserting that
Schrock had failed to demonstrate arbitrary or unreasonable
hardship and that the compliance schedule is too lengthy. On May
8, 1987, Schrock filed a reply memorandum.
Based on the new information provided by Schrock, the Board
will grant reconsideration and set this matter for hearing. In
an effort to minimize hearing expenses for Schrock, the Board
will attempt to schedule the hearing for the variance petition
and the site—specific regulatory hearing to occur on the same day
at the same location. At hearing, the Board would anticipate
evidence, inter alia, on the viability of compliance by use of a
venturi scrubber and the appropriate time frame for compliance by
a) scrubber or b) terminating wood burning, if the Board grants
variance.
IT IS SO ORDERED
