ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by Dr.

Satchell):

The Petition filed March

2,

1976

is inadequate in that:

(1)

data showing the nature and extent of the present

failure to meet the particular provisions from

which the variance is sought are not provided.

(2)

the classification of land external to the property

is not given.

(From your exhibit it would be

assumed to be Class A, Code 11 through 19

-

Household Units and similar, unless otherwise shown).

(3)

it is not clear whether operations are conducted

during both daytime and nighttime hours.

(4)

while it may be true that present technology does

not permit the purchase of lined or wrapped chutes

to adequately attenuate the noise of grain entering

and moving within the chutes from the headhouse to

storage,

this would not appear to exhaust the

possibilities of abatement.

This leaves the Petition inadequate with regard to a

plan and time schedule for compliance.

Petitioner shall amend the Petition within 45 days from

the date of this Order to provide the needed information.

The 90-day period set by statute for a decision shall run

20—311

---

—2—

from the filing of the amended Petition.

Failure to

timely file the amended Petition shall make it liable

to dismissal for inadequacy.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Control Board, hereby certify
