INTERIM ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by D. Anderson):

This NPDES permit appeal involves application of the

water quality standards or anti-dilution rule to ponds

formed by damming a waterway adjacent to the plant property

south of Clinton

(35 Ill.

Adin.

Code 302 or 304.102).

Petitioner’s witness testified that the drainage area upstream

of the plant was 5000 acres and that the average flow was

384,500 gallons per day

(R.

22,

24).

However, the topographi-

cal map shows a drainage area of less than 640 acres

(Ex.

7).

Furthermore,

the average flow expected from 5000 acres would

be about 5.6 MGD, based on

30 inches annual rainfall and 50

runoff.

The Board asks the parties to supplement the record

with additional information on the size of the watershed.

The Board

asks

the parties to pLovide current infor-

mation on Petitioner’s legal status and the ownership of the

facility in question.

Petitioner is requested to provide the above information

to the Board within 21 days from the date of this Order.

IT IS SO
