ORDER

OF

THE

BOARD

(by

J,

Anderson):

This

petition, filed

November

17,

1983,

fails

to

contain

much

of

the

information

required

by

Section

104.121

of

the

Board’s

Procedural

Rules.

More

specifica1iy~

the

petition

fails

to

precisely

identify

the regulations from

which

variance

is

sought.

The

little

information

presented

on

environmental

impact

is

a

conclusion

with

no

data

to

support

it.

No

allegation

has

been

made

concerning

the

“arbitrary or

unreasonable

hardship”

Amoco

might

suffer

if

variance

is denied.

If

an

amended

petition

curing

these

deficiencies

is

not

filed

within

45

days

of

the date

of

this

Order,

this

petition

will

be

subject

to

dismissaL

As

any

variance

granted

concerning

control

of

volatile

organic

compounds

is

reviewed

by

USEPA

for

compliance

with

federal

informational

requirements,

Amoco

would

be

well

advised

to

contact

the

Illinois

Environmental

Protection

Agency

for

more

explicit

guidance

in

the

preparation

of

its

amended

petition.

IT

IS

SO

ORDERED.
