    INTERIM OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by Mr. Dumelle)
    All four of these cases
    are variance requests to add copper
    sulfate
    to
    a water reservoir.
    All are inadequate to enable the
    Board to decide them since they do not specify frequency and amount
    of dosages and the resulting copper concentration in the drinking
    water nor do they tell
    us
    (except for Norris
    City)
    if the reservoir
    7
    —
    561
    —2—
    is used for fishing.
    None give reasons why biodegradable algicides
    may not be used nor whether upstream phosphorus control to prevent
    algae is
    feasible.
    Petitioners are given 35 days
    to file amended petitions with
    the Board.
    The amended petitions shall include
    a waiver for
    35
    days
    of the
    90 day period in which the Board has to decide
    a
    variance.
    Failure to file additional information within the time
    limit shall constitute grounds for dismissal.
    The Agency is asked to provide each petitioner with copies of
    previous Board opinions
    for their guidance
    (City of LaHarpe,
    et al,
    PCB 72-168, August
    8,
    1972 and City of Paris,
    et a?, PCB 72-277,
    August 15,
    1972).
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Christan
    L. Moffett,
    Clerk of the
    Illinois Pollution Control
    Board,
    hereby certify
