    R81-18
    CERTIFICATION, CHAPTER

    PART IV
    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J. Anderson):
    On September 28, 1981, the Agency moved for consolidation
    of this proceeding with the R80-20 Chapter
    7 “clean-up” proceeding.
    A similar motion had been presented at the September 25 hearing
    in
    this matter by John Sexton Sand
    & Gravel Corp.
    (service of which
    was later perfected).
    On October
    2,
    1981 Northern Petrochemical
    Company urged that these motions be granted, as did Granite City
    Steel,
    Interlake, Northwestern Steel and Wire,
    Republic Steel
    and
    United States Steel on October
    6, 1981.
    The motions are denied.
    R81—18 was initiated in response
    to obvious legislative concern,
    as contained in Section 22(b)
    of
    the Act, that,
    where permits are required, certification rules
    concerning waste operators’ prior conduct be promulgated.
    The
    motions do not persuade the Board that delay of this proceeding
    will serve a useful purpose, particularly as the R80-20 proceeding
    promises to be a considerably more protracted proceeding than does
    R81—18.
    The Board’s current R81-18 proposal
    (shortly to be revised
    based on comment already received)
    is designed to be implemented
    in conjunction with existing Chapter
    7;
    facilities currently
    required to have Chapter
    7 permits would be required to be
    owned and operated by persons who have obtained the ultimately
    implemented R81—18 certification.
    The original R80-20 proposal
    (a revised version of which is
    due to be filed November
    1) does suggest major changes
    in Chapter
    7 facility definitions and permitting requirements.
    Any R80-20
    changes in Chapter 7 permit requirements could, therefore, make
    more or fewer persons subject to the R81—18 certification, just
    as it could make more or fewer persons subject to permit
    requirements.
    However, as the R81—18 certification does not
    address either
    a) technical education,
    training,
    etc., or b) how
    the permit process itself operates, the Board believes that R81—18
    affects R80—20 in only one particular:
    R81—18 certification rule
    numbers must be reserved in any numbering scheme proposed in
    R80—2 0.
    43—589
    If during the course of R81—18 or R80-20 the Board’s belief
    proves to be erroneous, consolidation can be ordered at that
    appropriate later time.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    Board Member Goodman concurred.
