    DISSENTING OPINION (by J. Theodore Meyer):
    I disagree with the majority that the proposal as filed is acceptable as long as the
    proponents have 30 days to serve various state agencies as required by the Illinois
    Environmental Act. The procedural deficiencies in this petition are not minor infractions as
    classified by the majority. As I have stated in the past, the Board should not practice law for
    the parties before it. I believe the deficiencies were important enough to warrant dismissal of
    this petition.
    For these reasons, I respectfully dissent.
    J. Theodore Meyer
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
    the above dissenting opinion was filed on the 13th day of June, 1997.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
