ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by Mr. Young):

On May

the Village of Bloomingdale filed a

Petition for Variance which was amended on June

9,

1978,

in response to a Board Order of May

11,

1978.

On June 23,

1978, the Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency filed a Motion to Join Additional Parties, pursuant

to Rules

303(c) and 309 of the Board’s Procedural Rules.

The Motion asks that 280 other dischargers in the planning

area serviced by the Northeastern Illinois Planning Com-

mission be added

in order that a complete determination

of the issues involved can be had and that such joinder

will result in a convenient and expeditious resolution

of an issue which necessarily would otherwise be individually

raised by each of the dischargers.

The Motion to Join Additional Parties will be granted;

the statutory period for decision as to the added parties

shall begin with the date of this Order.

Any

additional

party not desiring to be joined will be dismissed on their

motion to the Board.

The matter shall be set for hearing.

Pursuant to the Agency’s Supplement to their Motion to Join

filed August

2,

1978,

the Agency will assume the responsi-

bility for mailing of any notices or documents required in

this action.

IT IS SO

ORDERED.
