    OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by Mr.
    Dumelle)
    The petition received April
    20,
    1973 asks for a variance
    apparently from the Board’s sewer ban in order to proceed with plans
    and land acquisition in North Chicago along Green Bay Road with
    the intent of constructing
    a 104 unit motel.
    The petition states that
    the motel will be completed in February
    1974 “several months after the projected completion by the
    (North
    Shore Sanitary) district of their secondary treatment facility.”
    The petition is inadequate and premature.
    It does not state
    a cause of hardship as required by Section
    35
    of the Environmental
    Protection Act.
    And if the District facilities will
    in fact be
    completed on the date alleged then perhaps
    no variance will be
    needed.
    The sewer ban is intended to stop additional connections until
    adequate sewage treatment
    is available.
    Unless extraordinary
    hardship is shown (and none
    is here
    alleged) the ban should be
    a
    ban if
    it
    is
    to be effective.
    The petition is dismissed
    as being inadequate and premature.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Christan L. Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
    Board
    hereby certify
    the above Opinion and Order was adopted on the
