ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by Mr. Dumelle):

On March 22,

1974 the Board received the permit application

and related documents which would allow the North Shore Sanitary

District to construct three groins

in Lake Michigan and to place

sand fill on the northerly side of the groins.

The Board in

a March 29,

1974 letter asked the Division of

Waterways

to comment on possible legal liability to the State

of

Illinois

in the event sand

is not replaced if and when erosion

takes place.

An April

2,

1974 reply from Dr.

Leo M. Eisel, Director,

Division of Waterways

states:

With regard to your questions relative

to liability,

we believe that the standard conditions

in all

permits issued by this Division fully protect the

legal rights of all parties who may be affected by

the proposed construction.

While

this

reply

is not as responsive

as we would like to

the issue

of State liability

(is the State

a party in this permit?)

we do feel that the State may be protected and we

do want this work

to go forward as soon as possible.

The permit

is authorized for

signature by the Chairman

as approved by the Pollution Control Board.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I,

Christan L. Moffett,

Clerk of the Illinois Pollution

Control Board,

certify that the above Order was adopted on this
