ORDER OF ThE BOARD (by J.D. Dumelle):

This matter comes before the Board upon a June 29, 1987

Petition for Variance filed by the Mt. Vernon Association, Inc.

(Mt. Vernon). Mt. Vernon requests a variance from provisions set

forth in the Board’s Opinion and Order of November 21, 1985 in

the case of PCB 84—84. However, the Board finds this petition

still deficient in that it fails to include:

1. The quantity and types of materials used in the process

or activity for wnich the variance is required and full

description of the particular process or activity in

which the materials are used;

2. Data describing the nature and extent of the present

failure to meet the numerical standards or particular

provisions from which the variance is sought and a

factual statement why compliance with the Act and

regulations was not or cannot be achieved by the

required compliance date;

3. A detailed description of the existing and proposed

equipment or proposed method of control to be

undertaken to achieve full compliance with the Act and

regulations, including a time schedule for the

implementation of all phases of the control program

form initiation of design to program completion and the

estimated costs involved for each phase and the total

cost to achieve compliance;

4. An assessment, with supporting factual information, of

the environmental impact that the variance will impose

on human, plant and animal life in the affected area,

including, where applicable, data describing the

existing air and water quality which the discharge may

affect;
