ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

March 15, 1973

JAMES CLARK

#73-38

v.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (BY SAMUEL T. LAWTON, JR.):

Petition was filed by

James

Clark seeking variance of our

order entered in League of Women Voters v. North Shore Sanitary

District, ##70—7, 12, 13 and 14 (March 7, 1971) 1 PCB 369, to

enable a sewer tie-in from his property to facilities tributary

to the Clavey Road sewage treatment plant, based upon inadequacies

of his septic system. The Board has previously granted variances

under such circumstances.

We have received a communication from the Lake County Health

Department indicating the unsatisfactory condition of the septic

field and the possible health implications if the situation is not

corrected. We believe the grant of the variance to be warranted

and it is so ordered. See Winsor v. Environmental Protection

Agency, #71-334 (November 23, 1971) 3 PCB 174A; Robert J. Bartell

v. Environmental Protection Agency, #72-382 (October 17, 1972)

5 PCB 719.

IT IS THE ORDER of the Pollution Control Board that variance

be granted to James Clark to enable connection of his property in

Rockland Manor Subdivision to the facility tributary to the Clavey

Road sewage treatment plant.
