ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY,

Respondent.

INTERIM ORDER OF THE BOARD (by Mr. Zeitlin):

The Board on April 24, 1975, granted Petitioner Metropolitan

Sanitary District of Greater Chicago’s Motion for Stay in

this matter, pending resolution of a currently pending

enforcement case brought by the Environmental Protection

Agency against Petitioner. Thereafter on May 6, 1975, the

Agency filed a Motion to Reconsider that decision, which

Motion is the subject of this Order.

The Agency requests that the Board reconsider and

reverse the April 24, 1975, Order allowing Petitioner a

stay in this case. The grounds alleged by the Agency in

support of its Motion are insufficient; they include a

notation that Petitioner’s Request for a Stay was made in

the Petition in this matter, (and not in a formal Motion),

and the fact that the Agency has filed an Answer in this

matter. Neither ground presents substantive reasons which

would warrant a reversal of our prior Order. The Agency’s

Motion must be denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Christan L. Noffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution

Control Board hereby certify that the above Interim Order

was adopted on the
