ORDER OF THE BOARD (by

3. Anderson):

By letter of July 5,

1985, Citgo Petroleum Corporation

(Citgo)

articulated

its disagreement with Condition

4 contained

in

an NPDES permit

for

its Arlington Heights facility issued by

the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) June

7,

1985.

Citgo noted

that “although

it

is the company’s opinion

and hope that this issue can be resolved by less formal means, by

way of this letter, Citgo

is requesting an adjudicatory hearing

to protect its right

to

a hearing.”

To protect Citgo’s rights,

the Board has docketed this

appeal.

However,

the letter

is lacking

information normally

found

in a petition

for review,

such as the full text of the

challenged condition,

and a description of the facility and its

processes,

see 35

Ill. Mm. Code 105,102(a)(2) and (b)(7).

In

addition, although the letter indicates that a copy was sent to

the Agency,

it would

appear that the

filing and formal service

requirements of

35

Ill.

Ad. Code 103,122 and 103.123 were not

met.

Therefore,

the Board orders Citgo

to file a more formal

petition for

review remedying the noted deficiencies, and to

formally make service of the petition as previously specified,

within

14 days of the date of this Order.

Finally,

this Order

should

not be construed as

staying the time by which the Agency

is

to file the record

in this matter.

IT

IS SO ORDERED.
