    Respondent.
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by Mr. Henss):
    Respondent on September 12, 1975 filed a Motion to Dismiss
    the variance petition, alleging that the variance petition
    does not contain the information required by Rule 401(a) of the
    Pollution Control Board’s Procedural Rules. We believe that
    the petition is adequate as a pleading and will therefore deny
    the Motion to Dismiss. Respondent’s Motion amounts to a request
    that the Petitioner plead its evidence and we do not wish to
    require the Petitioners to put such detail into its pleadings
    especially where another method is available for providing the
    detailed evidence. This particular matter will be assigned for
    hearing and the parties will be entitled to appropriate
    discovery pursuant to the Board’s Procedural Rules.
    It is Ordere& that the Motion to Dismiss be denied.
    I, Christan L. Moffetb, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
    Board, hereby certify the above Order was adop~edthe
