ORDER

OF

TIlE BOARD

(By Dr. Satchell):

Petition filed February

2, 1976 is inadequate in that:

(1)

no assurance is given that by granting instant petition

violation of other regulations and/or rules would not

ensue to the detriment of the environment; specifically,

Rules

203(f),

402,

and 401(c)

of Chapter

3: Water Pollution

of the Pollution Control Board.

(2) pursuant to the Procedural Rules of the Board, statements

covering a time schedule

Rule

401(vii),(viii)

for com-

pliance are required.

While the arguments for use of ion exchange methods for

pollution abatement and non-use of the regenerating solution

may be reasonable,

it is not clear why the method

of regenera-

ti.on used in fertilizer manufacture is also proposed here.

Petitioner shall amend the Petition within 45 days from the

date of this Order to supply the requested information.

Failure to

timely file the Amended Petition shall make this cause liable

to dismissal for inadequacy.

The 90—day decision period set

by statute shall run from the date of filing the Amended Petition.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Christan L. Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
