MASONITE CORPORATION,

Petitioner,

v.

)

PCB 74—365

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY,

Respondent.

ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by Mr. Dumelle):

The Masonite Corporation filed a Motion to Terminate

the Daily Testing and Monthly Progress Report requirement

imposed by an Order of the Board on January 23,

1975 in the

above captioned proceeding which granted Masonite a variance

from Rule 408(a)

of the Water Pollution Regulations.

Masonite’s

request is moot because the Board adopted an amendment to

the fluoride effluent standards found in Rule 408(a)

of the

Water Pollution Regulations on March

6,

1975 which became

effective upon filing with the Secretary of State,

The

Board set a new fluoride effluent limitation of

15 mg/i in

place of the existing 2.5 mg/i standard.

The adoption of

the regulation amendment setting a higher allowable standard

than that contained in the variance takes precedent over the

variance order.

In addition, Masonite was granted a variance

“until January 23,

1976 or until the Board’s pending amendment

of Rule 408(a)

is enacted, whichever occurs earlier”.

Therefore, Masonite’s variance expired on March

6,

1975

the

date on which the Board enacted the amendment.

IT

IS SO ORDERED.

I,

Christan L~Moffett,

Clerk of the Illinois Pollution

Control Board, hereby certify the above Order was adopted on the
