ORDER OF THE BOARD (by B. Forcade):

On May 16, 1986, the Army Corps of Engineers and Alton

Packaging Corporation filed a petition for variance from certain

regulations pertaining to Water Pollution Control. That Petition

is deficient in that:

1. More information is required on the quality

of effluent that will be temporarily

discharged to the “drainage ditch,” as well

as more information on the ditch itself

(including length, flow, present water

quality and any anticipated adverse impact

from the additional effluent); and

2. Greater specificity is required respecting

the term of the variance. The present

petition appears to request variance for one

month at some time over the next two years;

this should be clarified.

Unless an amended petition is filed within the next 45 days

curing these deficiencies, this matter will be subject to

dismissal.

The Board notes that the variance petition appears to seek

relief for both the Army Corps of Engineers and Alton

Packaging. If both entities are not “petitioners,” the Board

should be so advised.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
