    #71-106
    v.
    ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (BY SAMUEL
    T.
    LAWTON,
    JR.):
    On August
    5,
    1971,
    we entered an Order denying a variance in
    which petitioner sought to be allowed the extension of a sewer and
    the connection of
    two eighteen-unit apartment buildings
    to Waukegan
    sewers tributary to
    the Waukegan treatment plant of the North Shore
    Sanitary District, which connections were forbidden in our Order in
    League of Women Voters v
    North Shore Sanitary District,
    ##70-7,
    12,
    13 and 14,
    1 PCB 369
    (March
    31, 1971).
    Our opinion in support of the
    Order was entered on August 13,
    1971.
    On December 28,
    1972,
    the Appellate Court of Illinois,
    Second
    District, reversed the foregoing Order and remanded the matter to the
    Board “with directions
    to issue the appropriate permits”.
    On May
    1,
    1973,
    in accordance with the mandate of the Appellate
    Court, we received a motion from petitioner seeking the entry of an
    appropriate Order directing issuance of the permit as prayed for in
    Log #166-71 with respect to which the variance had been originally
    sought.
    Since the Board possesses no statutory authority to issue permits,
    it
    will
    be
    our
    Order
    that
    the
    Environmental
    Protection
    Agency
    be,
    and
    it
    is hereby directed,
    to issue to petitioner the permits sought by
    its variance petition pursuant to the mandate of the Appellate Court
    of Illinois, Second District,
    in case entitled Walter R.
    Seegren,
    Petitioner-Appellant v. Environmental Protection Agency of Illinois and
    Pollution Control Board of Illinois, Case #71-255, which Order issued
    on December 28,
    1972.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Christan Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board,
    certify that the above Order was adopted on the
    .3~
    day of May,
