CONCURRING OPINION

(by J,

D,

Dumelle):

My concurrence is based upon the excessive length of the

variance grant.

Instead of

a five year period

I would have

made

it three years.

The Board Opinion contains

a great many intermediate

checkpoint dates

for submission of reports and studies, etc.

A shorter period would enable Board review after three years

to determine if these dates were,

in fact,

met,

A second reason

for a shorter period of variance grant

is that the Agency~scomprehensive water basin studies for this

area might be then available and could provide additional

guidance to the Board,

I,

Christan L.

Moffett, Cl~kof the Illinois Pollution

Control Board, do hereby cer~fythat the above Concurring

Opinion was filed on the
