INTERIM ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by

Mr.

Goodman):

Mason

& Meents Construction Company

(Mason)

filed its

petition for an air variance on April

28,

1975.

Mason’s petition is insufficient

in that it fails to

adequately state:

1)

the hardship encountered as provided

in rule 401(a) (2); and

2)

type of emissions;

and

3)

a show-

ing by Petitioner as to whether the ambient air quality of

the area effected by the variance meets the national ambient

air quality standards as adopted by the Board;

and

4)

if the

ambient air quality does not meet those standards, whether

the granting of the variance would contribute

to the area’s

failure

to meet such standards;

and 5)

if ambient air

quality does meet said standards,

whether the variance would

cause the ambient air quality to fail

to meet said standards.

It is the order of the Board that Petitioner shall

amend its petition within 45 days of this order to provide

the above described information.

Failure to timely file the

amended petition shall cause

the petition to be dismissed for

inadequacy.

The 90—day decision period set by statute shall

run from the date of filing the amended petition.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

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

Control Board, hereby certify the above Order was adopted on
