ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by 3.

Theodore Meyer):

This matter comes before the Board on

an October

28,

1986

motion

made

by

the

Illinois

Environmental

Protection

Agency

(Agency)

for

leave

to

file

motion

for

reconsideration

instanter.

That motion

is hereby granted.

The Agency requests that the Board enter

an order amending

the variance granted to Petitioner on September

11,

1986 by

adding

an additional condition

to require that the fluoride level

in Petitioner’s drinking water not exceed

the

federal standard of

4.0 mg/i.

In support of this motion the Agency states that:

1.

The variance should be granted consistent with federal

law and the

federal drinking water standard was

recently increased

to 4.0 mg/i;

2.

USEPA has sought revocation of previous variances

granted

by the Board

to public water

supplies and

the

parties wish

to avoid such possible event;

3.

Imposition of

a condition that the

fluoride level

not

exceed 4.0 mg/i would cause

no hardship since

Petitioner’s fluoride levels are

in

the 2.5

—

2.85 mg/i

range

and have never

exceeded 4.0 mg/l.

On reconsideration,

for

the foregoing

reasons,

the Board

believes

it should amend

its September

ii,

1986 order

in this

matter

to provide that the

level of fluoride

in the potable water

provided by Petitioner

shall

not exceed 4.0 mg/i.

IT

IS

SO

ORDERED.
