OPINION

AND

ORDER

OF

THE

BOARD

(by

3.

D.

Dumelle):

This

matter

comes

before

the

Board

upon

a

petition

for

variance

filed

on

August

23,

1983

and

amended

petitions

filed

on

September 14, October 13 and 19, and November 14, 1983 on behalf of

ITT-Bell & Gossett (ITT).

The Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency (Agency)

filed a recommendation that variance be granted

subject to certain conditions on December 6,

1983.

Hearing was

held on

December

8,

1983

at

which

ITT

and the

Agency,

but no

members

of the public, appeared.

At hearing ITT indicated its

acceptance

of

the

recommended

conditions

(R.

5

and

9).

ITT requests variance from

old

Rules

205(n)(1)(J)

and

205(j)(1) of Chapter 2:

Air Pollution.

The recent codification

of these rules has resulted in their renumbering as 35 Iii. Mm.

Code 215.204(j) and 215.211(a) of Subtitle B.

Variance is

requested until December 31, 1984.

Since little evidence was presented at hearing in this

matter, the Board’s decision is necessarily based largely upon

the documents which have been filed.

However, those filings were

not accompanied

by

supporting

affi4avits

(since

that

is

not

required

when

hearing

has

been

requested)

and

were

not

introduced

as

exhibits

at

hearing.

In

order

to

have

sufficient

evidence

in

the

record

on which

to

base

a

decision,

the

Board

requested

ITT

to submit an

affidavit

in

support

of

its

pleadings.

That

affidavit was filed with the Board on February 2, 1984.
