    OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by Mr.Dume1le)~
    Petition was filed with the Board on April 13 asking that a
    variance be granted to permit sewer connections for seven single
    family three bedroom residences to be constructed in Godfrey.
    The petition is clearly inadequate. It does not tell the date
    or type of ban or when it can reasonably be expected to be lifted.
    We do not know if the ban was imposed because of an inadequate sewage
    treatment lagoon or because of an inadequate sewer system or both.
    The Procedural Rules of the Board require that a petition
    contain a concise statement “of the injury that the grant of the
    variance would impose on the public”. No such information is
    given. We do not know the strength of the effluent now discharged
    from the Warren Levis lagoon nor do we know of the present condition
    of the receiving stream. No statement is given as to the effect
    of the proposed variance on the effluent or on the stream.
    The petition is dismissed for inadequacy without prejudice.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Christan L. Mo~fett,Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
    Board4 hereby certify the above Opinion and rder were adopted on the
    /7’~day of April, 1973 by a vote of __________________________
