ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
April

1973
IN THE MATTER OF:
#R72â5
PROPOSED SOLID WASTE REGULATIONS
)
ORDER OF THE BOARD
(BY SAMUEL T.
LAWTON,
JR.):
On March
8,
1973,
we denied a Motion to Strike the proposed
Solid Waste Regulations
filed by the South Suburban Land Develop-
ment Company, which motion had alleged certain infirmities in the
hearing proceedings as a consequence of the failure of the Senate
to confirm the appointment of John L.
Parker, who had attended the
hearings as a Hearing Officer and Board Member.
We have now received a Motion to Vacate our March
8, 1973 Order
on the grounds that since John L. Parker is
rio
longer a Member of
the Pollution Control Board and unable to participate in the adoption
of the proposed Rules and Regulations, the hearings are a nullity.
We find the contention wholly lacking in merit.
Such
a construc-
tion would preclude the adoption of any Regulations at any time
when an attending Board Member is no longer a Member of the Board
and require adoption before the expiration of the terra of any Board
Member that was in attendance.
The motion to vacate our March
8,
1972 Order
is denied.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I, Christan Moffett, Clerk of the ILlinois Pollution Control Board,
certify that the above Order was adopted on the
.5
day of April,
1973,
by a vote of
