ORDER OF THE BOARD (by Mr. Dumelle):

On December 9, 1977 Petitioner requested a variance from

the suspended solids limitation of Rule 408 of Chapter 3:

Water Pollution of the Board’s Rules and Regulations. The

petition is inadequate in several respects. First, it appears

to request permanent relief which is beyond the Board’s au-

thority in variance cases, Second, it fails to assess the

environmental impact of the requested relief as required by

Procedural Rule 401(a) (7). Third, it does not specifically

request or waive a hearing as required by Procedural Rule

401(b). If these deficiencies are not corrected within 45 days

of the date of this Order, this matter will be subject to dis-

missal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
