    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by
    J.D,
    Dumelle):
    On October
    4,
    .1979
    the Board
    :Eound that the City of Crest
    Hill
    (City)
    had violated Rules 601(a) and 602 of Chapter
    3:
    Water Pollution,
    and Section 33(c) of the Environmental Protection
    Act, ordered the
    City
    to submit a plan within 60 days to imme-
    diately minimize overflows through the utilitzation of bypasses,
    relief connections and other effective means, and to pursue
    federally funded improvements.
    The
    City submitted a proposed
    plan on January 10,
    1980 which the Board
    found unacceptable
    by Order of July 24,
    1980.
    The City was also ordered to file
    an amended plan with 60 days.
    On February 19,
    1981 the Board
    found that the City had not submitted the required plan and
    ordered that one be submitted within 30 days.
    The amended
    plan was submitted to the Board on March 19,
    1981.
    However,
    the Environmental Protection Agency (Agency),
    for unknown
    reasons,
    failed to receive
    a copy of that plan prior
    to January 11,
    1982.
    On January 29,
    1982 the Agency filed comments finding
    the amended plan to be acceptable on condition that all work
    in furtherance of the plan,
    as amended, be completed no later
    than June 15, 1982.
    The Board finds that the Cityts plan, as amended,
    is
    acceptable and fulfills the Board Orders of July 24,
    1980
    and February 19,
    .1981.
    Since the Agency represents that the
    City has expeditiously pursued federal
    funding, the Board
    finds that the City has, though belatedly, complied with the
    previous Board Orders in this matter,
    Therefore, this docket
    is closed.
    The
    City
    is hereby ordered to continue to expediti-
    ously pursue federal grant improvements,
    to comply with its
    amended plan as approved, and to complete the required alarm
    system under that plan no later than June
    15,
    1982.
    The Board notes that
    it
    received a letter from Wilma
    Dutton on June 15,
    1981 indicating that the alarm system in
    place at that time was not adequate.
    The Board notes that the
    City was not at that time under an order to comply with its plan.
    The Board intends that
    this
    Order will remedy the concerns ex-
    pressed.
    If the City fails to comply with the amended plan,
    45—523
    .
    —2—
    however, enforcement of this Order can be sought through the
    circuit court.
    IT IS SO ORDERED,
