IWTERIM ORDER OF THE BOARD (by 3. Anderson):
On July 22, 1985 the Agency moved for leave to file its
record instanter, as well as for leave to file an attachment
inadvertently omitted from the brief it filed July 19, 1985.
The
motions are granted.
On July 19, the Agency also filed a motion for an emergency
Board meeting, premised on the belief that this case was due for
decision on August 3. The motion was withdrawn by filing of July
31, as at the time of filing the motion counsel for the Agency
had not received a copy of the Board’s Order of July 11, which
had noted that the due date for this matter had been waived until
August 15.
On July 30, M.I.G. filed a motion for leave to file its
reply brief instanter, for reason of delay in its receipt of the
Agency record. This motion is granted. To the extent that the
brief appears to request that the hearing statement of Jerry
Grubbs be stricken from the record (see p. 9—il), the motion will
be taken with the case; to the extent it seeks to have a written
statement stricken (see p. 10), the Board notes that no such
statement appears to have been received, as it is not reflected
in the Board’s docket book.
As to the Board’s July 11, 1985 inquiry concerning prior
permit history of the site, the Agency’s July 31, 1985 Response
to the Board Order states that no such data is found in the
Record; further, the Agency did not consider such matters in
arriving at its decision to deny Petitioner’s permit application
(p. 1). The Board does not follow the logic of this assertion.
A past permit would necessarily be consulted in considering a
permit modification. The “permit application” (Item 3) as
forwarded to the Board consists only of a transmittal letter and
a notation “enclosures not included”; the extent of the alleged
recontouring at issue is not of record, nor are the contours, if
any, approved in any past permit. While M.I.G. in its brief
supplies certain factual information (p. 8—9), the Board notes
65-169
—2—
that such information is not supported by affidavit. The Board
grants leave to remedy these deficiencies by appropriate filings
through and until August 8, 1985, at which time the record shaU
close unless a waiver of the decision deadline is received.
Copies of any such filings shall be mailed directly to the
downstate Board Members at their addresses below:
