CITY STEEL

ORDER

OF

THE

BOARD

(by

Mr.

Marder)

On November 22, 1974,

Interlake Steel

filed its Motion for Order

Overruling Evidentiary Ruling of Hearing Officer.

This Hearing Offi-

cer admitted evidence presented by Interlake Steel, solely for the

purpose of supporting Granite City Steel’s proposal,

at hearing on

October 22,

1974.

The Board finds

this ruling

was

correct,

and

therefore

the

Motion

is denied.

In order to introduce evidence in

a regulatory proposal,

~t must be relevant to the proceeding.

It is our determination that

the Interlake material fits best into a new regulatory proceeding.

It

is substantially different from the Granite City Steel proposal.

The Environmental Protection Act states that a proposal to change

regulations must rnust~carrypetitions with 200 signatures

(111

1/2

Ill.

Rev.

Stat.

1028).

interrake cannot propose

a new regulation

without following the statutory requirements.

ORDER

IT

IS THE ORDER of the Pollution Control Board that Interlake’s

Motion for Order Overruling Evidentiary Ruling of Hearing Officer

is denied.

I,
