ORDER OF THE BOARD

On September 10,

1986,

the Illinois Department of

Transportation (“IDOT”)

filed a request for permit concurrence.

This concerns a permit application filed by the Army Corps

of

Engineers seeking

to dredge material

from the navigation channel

at the entrance to Waukegan Harbor.

It would appear

the quantity

of material

involved

is 50,000 cubic yards and the open water

disposal location

is near the City of North Chicago public water

supply

intake.

On September

11, 1986, the Lake Michigan

Federation filed

an objection.

This matter will be set for hearing.

Prior

to hearing,

the

Army Corps or

IDOT are ordered

to file full and complete copies

of all documents listed

under

reference

in paragraph

6

of page

3

of the Report of Sampling and analysis of sediments collected in

March,

1986.

The Board specifically seeks all available

historical sampling and analysis data for sediments at or near

the area to be dredged.

At hearing, the participants will

be

expected

to address:

1.

The amounts and concentrations of pol—

lutants that may be made available for

water column transport during

the dredg-

ing operation and available methods to

prevent their

subsequent migration to the

Waukegan water

intake.

2.

The amounts and concentrations of p01—

lutants that may be made available for

water column transport during the open

water disposal operation and available
