ORDER OF

THE BOARD

(by J.

0. Dumelle):

This matter comes before the Board

upon

a May 18, 1984

petition

for variance

filed on behalf of the

Continental Grain

Company.

Variance is requested for nine

facilities located

in eight

different counties,

some of which are,

apparently,

out of

compliance with the grain handling rules

and others of

which

may or

may not be

in compliance.

Hearing

has been neither

waived nor requested

and compliance costs,

compliance plans

and

environmental impacts are either

not discussed

regarding

individual

facilities or are not discussed at

all~

Some of these difficulties arise

from

addressing nine

facilities

in a single variance petition,

and

even further

problems can be anticipated

if hearing

is

requested regarding

all facilities,

Given the noted deficiencies,

the

problems

inherent in multiple facility variance requests,

and for reasons

of administrative convenience, the Board hereby

dismisses the

petition as inadequate with leave to refile

separate petitions

which cure the above~noteddefects.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I,

Christan L.
