ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
    October 14, 1982
    IN THE MATTER OF:
    )
    R80—22
    SULFUR DIOXIDE EMISSION
    LIMITATION:
    RULE 204
    )
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by
    I.
    Goodman):
    On October 1,
    1982 the Village of Winnetka
    (Village)
    requested a public hearing pursuant to Paragraph 5.01(a) of
    the Administrative Procedure Act
    Ill.
    Rev. Stat. 1982,
    ch.
    127,
    Sec.
    1005.01(a)
    to contest the exclusion of a site—specific rule
    for the Village’s power plant from the proposed rules published
    for First Notice in the Illinois Register on September 17,
    1982.
    On October 5,
    1982 a comment objecting to such a site-specific
    rule was received.
    A hearing has been set, but time additional
    to the statutory First Notice period is necessary to notify
    interested persons; to conduct the requested hearing;
    to receive
    and review the transcript of the same;
    and to deliberate;
    all of
    which would delay further action in this regulatory proceeding.
    Not only is this rulemaking an attempt to conclude the “continuing
    saga” of the sulfur dioxide rules, but expeditious action has
    been requested by other participants and a case presently before
    the Third District Appellate Court has been stayed anticipating
    its conclusion.
    The issue of a site—specific rule for the Village’s power
    plant is readily separated from the remainder of this rulemaking.
    To assure that the rules presently proposed are expeditiously
    adopted and implemented,
    the Village’s request for a site-specific
    rule is hereby severed from the rules already proposed
    for First
    Notice.
    Two dockets are thereby established.
    Docket A will
    consist of the rules published in the September 17,
    1982 Illinois
    Register Docket B will consist of the Village of Winnetka’s
    request for a site-specific rule allowing it to burn coal with
    3.2 percent sulfur content without additional pollution controls.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
