ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by Mr.

Zeitlin):

The Petition for Variance filed February 23,

1976, by the

Village of orangeville is inadequate,

and must be dismissed.

First, the Petition fails to conform to Rule 401 of the Board’s

Procedural Rules,

PCB Regs.,

Ch.

1,

Rule 401,

in that,

a.

the Petition fails to show which Rule or

Rules of the Board’s Regulations would apply to the

public water supply system in question;

b.

the Petition fails to show the costs of

compliance with the Rule or Rules from which a

Variance is sought;

c.

the hardship(s) which either compliance

or non—compliance would work upon Petitioner or the

affected public water supply system users.

The above listing with regard to Rule 401 is only partial, and addresses

the more serious deficiencies of the Petition.

The Village of

Orange-

yule

is referred to Rule 401 for consideration of other deficiencies

in its Petition.

20—187

---

—2—

Second, the Petition wholly fails to detail any plan for

compliance with the Board’s Regulations on chlorination of public

water supply systems.

The Petition recites the Village’s intent

to avoid compliance at all, if possible.

Petitioner is referred

to the Board’s Opinion on the matter for guidance, and

is cautioned

that a plan for compliance with the applicable Rules is a necessary

part of any Variance Petition.

See, In the Matter of Public Water

Supplies, R 73-13

(January 3, l97~,Opinion atpages ~-38.

These inadequacies are such that the Petition must be dismissed,

without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
