    On October 15,
    1975 the Environmental Protection Agency
    (Agency)
    filed before this Board a Complaint against the Village
    of Creve Coeur, Tazewell County,
    Illinois.
    Respondent owns
    and operates a sewage treatment plant which it admitted at
    the April
    28,
    1976 hearing, has been operated in violation
    of Rules
    403,
    405,
    and 1201 of the Board’s Water Pollution
    Regulations and Section 12(a)
    of the Environmental Protection
    Act
    (Act).
    Therefore, the only issue in this case is the proper
    remedy.
    Aside from the clear necessity of hiring a properly
    certified treatment plant operator the parties have not
    presented a detailed maintenance and repair schedule to remedy
    the stated violations and prevent their recurrence.

    problenis with plant
    operations.
    The Board would like to have a
    specific schedule for the completion of all necessary modifica-

    with that schedule the Board also requests an indication of
    the progress made since the April 28,
    1976 hearing.

    These documents would allow for a more comprehensive remedy
    in this cause and further provide Creve Coeur with the opportunity
    to demonstrate its good faith and commitment to compliance
    with Board Regulations.
    Such good faith is an essential element
    in determining the extent of any penalty to be assessed.
    The Board hereby remands this cause to the parties
    to
    prepare and submit to this Board, within 90 days, an itemized
    compliance schedule and status report consistent with the above
    instructions.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
