ORDER OF THE BOARD (by 3. Marlin):

On May 22, 1986, the Village of Pawnee (“Village”) filed a

petition for variance requesting relief “from the rules,

regulations and requirements relating to normal operation of its

treatment plant” during upcoming construction at its sewage

treatment plant (Petition at 2).

The petition, however, fails to address the requirements of

35 Ill. Adm. Code 104.121, 104.122 and 104.124, including the

following:

1) identify the regulations of the Board from which relief

is sought biochemical oxygen demand and total suspended

solids effluent standards for a plant with a three stage

lagoon exemption are at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 304.120(a);

2) identify any alternative methods studied to obtain

compliance and the relative costs;

3) identify the cost of the project as proposed;

4) assess the environmental impact of the proposed project

on the environment;

5) state whether the Board may grant the requested relief

pursuant to federal law (Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C.

1251 et seq.)

6) submit an affidavit attesting to the truth of the

matters asserted in the petition when waiving the

hearing requirement.

Unless the Village files an amended petition curing the

above defects within 45 days of the date of this Order, the

petition will be subject to dismissal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
