    CONCURRING OPINION:
    (by J.
    Anderson):
    I concur because, while
    I support
    the
    grant of this variance,
    I do not believe that it should have been granted
    f~orfive years.
    At this time,
    the record
    in this case supports the “hardship”
    need only for the period of non—compliance needed to timely gather
    and evaluate related environmental effects
    data.
    To allow
    a
    petitioner,
    now in compliance, to additionally remain out of
    compliance while deliberating process changes or seeking
    a site
    specific rule change
    is not only premature but also risks setting
    an unacceptable precedent.
