PCB 76—43

ILLINOIS POLLUTION

CONTROL BOARD

April

8,

1976

My

reason for concurring

in this case

is that the record does

not explain why alternative techniques such as electroshocking or

seining are not viable.

All that is present is a conclusion that

they are not.

Wherever possible,

the introduction of chemicals to a body of

water which connects to a public water supply ought to be avoided.

Research may not have been done on all possible synergistic effects

and at some future date we may wish that non—chemical means of

counting fish had been used.
