ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
    February 17,
    1982
    IN THE MATTER OF:
    )
    AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 3:
    )
    R76-21
    WATER POLLUTION (Effluent
    Standards)
    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J,D. Dumelle):
    On January
    6,
    1982 the Illinois Environmental Protection
    Agency
    (Agency)
    filed a motion
    for reconsideration of the
    Board’s December 3,
    1981 Order in this matter insofar as it
    adopted Rules 412 and 702(a) of Chapter
    3:
    Water Pollution.
    In that these rules have already been filed with the Secretary
    of State and are now law,
    the Board
    finds reconsideration to
    he inappropriate and,
    therefore,
    denies reconsideration of
    those rules.
    The Board does,
    however, find the Agency’s reasons for
    reconsideration to be otherwise meritorious, and will review
    the contested rules.
    The Board will propose the amendment or
    deletion of those rules as it deems appropriate.
    By letter dated January 19,
    1982 the Agency informed
    the Board of certain references in the Board’s September 24,
    1981 Opinion in this matter which refer
    to rules included in
    the Board’s February 19, 1981 first notice proposed order but
    which were changed or eliminated in the final order.
    The
    Board will construe that letter as an addition to the Agency’s
    motion for reconsideration and will grant reconsideration
    to that extent.
    The Board hereby modifies its September 24,
    1981 Opinion in this matter as follows:
    1.
    The first sentence of page 43, paragraph
    4 should
    read:
    Rule 411(b)(1) provides as a condition for
    the relaxed
    effluent
    standard that “the discharger
    does not use mercury; or, the discharger uses mercury
    and this use cannot be eliminated; or the discharger
    uses mercury only in chemical analysis or in laboratory
    or other equipment and takes reasonable care
    to avoid
    contamination of wastewater”
    (1:164;
    2:286;
    3:353,
    355,
    448).
    2.
    The second and third sentences of page
    44, paragraph 3
    should be combined to read:
    Rule 411(c)(2)
    is written
    to parallel
    Rule 411(b) (1) except that there
    is no
    allowance for use which cannot be eliminated
    (1:164;
    4:645).
    45—437
    A
    3.
    On page
    45, paragraph 5,
    “Rule 411(d) provides” should
    be replaced with “Rules 411(b)(1) and 411(c) (2)
    provide.”
    4.
    In paragraphs
    2 and
    3 on page 46 the references to
    Rule 411(e) should be to Rule 411(d).
    This is
    also true in paragraph 1, page
    48.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I,
    Christan
    L. Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution
    Control Board, hereby certify that the above Order was adopted
    on the
    IT”
    day of
    ~
    1982 by a vote of
    ~‘—c
    Christan
    L. Mdf~t, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
    45—438
