ORDER OF THE

BOARD

 (by Mr.

 Young):

On September 12,

 1978, the Environmental Protection Agency

filed a Motion for

 a More Adequate Statement concerning Regula-

tory Proceeding R78-8 filed August

17,

 1978,

 a Petition to amend

the chlorination requirements of Rule 305 in Chapter

6:

 Public

Water Supplies.

According to the Agency,

 the Village of Orangeville sub-

rutted a Petition which failed to meet the requirements of

Procedural Rule 204(a)

 in that the Petition made mere conclusory

allegations without reference to scientific studies or provide

an adequate statement of supporting reasons.

Having reviewed this matter, the Coard finds that the Peti-

tioner contains conclusory statements as alleged by the Agency,

but this

 is not sufficient to make the Petition defective.

It

is not the intention of

the

Board or its Procedural Rules

to

require the Petitioner to plead its evidence.

 Petitioner will

he required to come forward with evidence and expert testimony

to support the contentions alleged in its Petition at the appro-

priate time during the hearings.

Since the Petition is sufficient in its face,

 the Board will

hereby dismiss the Agency’s Motion.

 Hearings will be set and sub-

mitted

for

publication

the

Environmental

Pegister

within

seven

days

aftor

this

Order.
