ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL

BOARD

September 6, 1973

ALLOY ENGINEERING & CASTING COMPANY,

Petitioner,

PCB 73—369

vs.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY,

Respondent.

ORDER OF

THE

BOARD (by Mr. Seaman)

On August 30, 1973, Petitioner, Alloy Engineerinq

&

Casting

Company, a heat resisting alloy foundry, located in Champaign,

County of Champaign, Illinois, filed its petition for variance

seeking permission to continue to operate its existing foundry

facilities until December 30, 1973.

Respondent has received Construction Permits C2-1l-095 and

C2-ll-124 from the Agency. These Construction Permits authorize

Respondent to install a baghouse on its three electric furnaces

and a second baghouse to control its shakeout, sand mulling,

sand

reclamation and shell pour operations. On August 9, 1973,

Petitioner’s application for an operating permit was denied by the

Agency and Petitioner seeks permission to continue operation until

said control devices are installed.

The Board cannot find in the petition sufficient facts upon

which a reasoned decision may be founded. Petitioner’s attention

is directed to Rule 401 of the Procedural Rules of the Illinois

Pollution Control Board. It is evident that Petitioner has used

Rule 401 as the basis for its petition; however, the facts presented

are inadequate. In particular, Rule 401 (2) requires, inter alia,

that Petitioner state the injury that a grant of the variance

would impose on the public.

The petition of Alloy Engineering & Casting Company is

dismissed without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Mr. Odell abstains,.
