which the variance is sought;

and results achieved.

(b)

a concise statement of why the petitioner believes that

compliance with the provision from which variance is sought would

description of the costs

that compliance would impose on the

petitioner and others, information

as to the feasibility of

alternatives available to abate the violations and their costs.

(c)

The injury that the grant of the variance would impose

on the public including the effect that continued discharge of

contaminants will have upon the air, water or

land.

ment of the reasons for such delay.

(e)

with

this

Order.

the Board of Interpace’s Amended Petition.
