ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by Mr.

Henss):

The Board has been informed

that this variance proceeding

is not yet ready for decision because hearings are still in

progress and the parties have been engaged in discussions

directed toward amicable resolution of issues.

Decision is

due July 19, 1974 unless Granite City Steel waives the pro-

visions of Section

38 Environmental Protection Act relating

to the time for final action by the Pollution Cdntrol Board.

The Board finds that Granite City Steel has waived the

provisions of Section

38 of the Act to and including September

17,

1974 and this waiver is hereby accepted.

It

is further found that, pending final disposition of this

variance proceeding, the variances heretofore granted in PCB 70—34

and PCB 73-26 should be extended until September 17,

1974.

It

is further found that the. handling of this matter will

be expedited by the early receipt of any available transcripts

of those hearings which have already been conducted, especially

since the evidence seems to be voluminous and the Board may

require more than the ordinary period of time in which to

prepare its Opinion before the September 17,

1974 deadline.

Therefore,

it

is ORDERED that:

1.

Granite City Steel is granted interim variance

extensions of each of the existing variances granted

in PCB 70-34 and 73—26

to and including September 17,

1974.
