ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by J.D.

PCB 81—116

Durnelle):

On May

16,

1983 the Victory riemorial Hospital ~ssociation

(Hospital)

filed

a motion

for modification of the Board’s

February 10,

1983 Order

in this matter.

While this motion was

not filed within 35 days of the entry

of that Order

(as required

by 35 Ill.

Adm.

Code 103.240), the Board will consider the motion

and will not require that the relief be pursued through a variance

proceeding.

The Board was aware at the time

it

entered that Order

that the period allowed to attain compliance was short.

However,

it did

so in an attempt

to assure compliance at the earliest

possible date.

The Hospital has,

apparently, been proceeding

expeditiously toward compliance, but has discovered that an

additional three months will he required.

The Board notes that

the record failed to support any particular compliance mechanism

and that considerable time has been required to identify available

compliance options.

Since the time period to identify these

options could not have been accurately assessed within the 35

day reconsideration period,

the Board will consider this motion

as

a motion pursuant to 35

111. Mm.

Code 103.241(h)(1).

As

such,

it

is timely.

The motion

is granted, and the Hospital

is hereby given an

additional

90 days

to cease and desist from further violations.

The Board reiterates,

however, that compliance

is expected

to he

attained as expeditiously as possible.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Christan

L. Moffett, Clerk of

the Illinois Pollution

Control BoardA hereby certify that the above Order was adopted
