ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY,

Respondent.

ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by Mr. Henss)

Petitioner

is operating

its plant under the terms

of

a

variance which will expire April

6,

1974.

The variance which

was first

granted in PCB 73—140 contemplates extension from

time to time while

a control program is installed.

The

extension

of variance depends on the evidence adduced at

each such request.

Alton Box filed a petition for variance extension on

January

2,

1974.

The Agency objected to the variance extension

and requested

a hearing.

The hearing was ordered.

Petitioner

now requests an interim variance until June 20,

1974

in order to determine the issues and present a full record.

We

have not been furnished with proof

that our hearing schedule

cannot be

met

and

will

therefore

deny

the

motion

for

interim

variance and require that the parties proceed to hearing as

scheduled.

Motion for interim variance is denied.

I,

Christan

L.

Moffett,

Clerk

of

the

Illinois

Pollution

Control

Board,

hereby certify the above Order was adopted this

~

day
