    AGENCY,

    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J.D. Dumelle):
    On April 9, 1981 the Illinois Municipal League filed
    a petition for variance from Rules 304(B) and (C) of Chapter
    6: Public Water Supplies. The petition was filed “on behal~
    of Illinois municipalities.” On April 16, 1981 the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) filed an objection
    and request for hearing and a motion to dismiss.
    The motion to dismiss is hereby grant~1. As poLnted
    out in the Agency’s motion, the Municipal
    Leaqi.ie
    “has
    stated
    only vague concerns.” The petition gicTes no speciEi~s a~ t:~
    pollutants for which variance is sought or cor.centr~tbions
    of those pollutants. There is no statement of envir:jnme.nt;d.
    impact, steps which will be taken to minimize that i~npact,
    costs of compliance or even a clear listing o~which cities
    desire relief. The petition is much more in the nature of
    a rulemaking proposal than a variance petition.
    Leave is granted to the Illinois Municipal League to file
    a proposal for rulemaking. Alternatively, the individual cities
    can certainly file individual petitions for variance.
    IT IS SO
    ORDERED.
    I, Christan L. Moffett, Clerk of the IlLinois Pollution
    Control Board, hereby certify that the above and Ord.~c was do~t~d
