#72—342

CITY OF RUSUVILLE et al,

Opinion

&

Order of the Board (by Mr. Currie)

The respondents stipulate, as charged, that construction

was commenced without a permit on facilities to connect. the

Bartlow Bros. effluent discharge pipe to the City~s sewers

tributary to its

sewage treatment plant. Construction has

since been halted and the sewer connection plugged.

It will

not be used unless and until a permit is issued, and we so

order. The complaint seeks no money penalties, so nothing

remains for us to do.

The basic problem, however, remains unsolved so far as

the present record shows. Some time ago Bartlow petitioned

us for a variance from applicable effluent standards pending

completion of this connection; the Agency responded that the

plant had insufficient capacity to accept such a discharge;

we dismissed the petition without prejudice, Bartlow Bros.,

—

(Aug. 28, 1972). We have

heard nothing further. If the excessive discharge continues,

we urge that it be abated as quickly as possible. We are of

course prepared to entertain such further proceedings on

that score as the parties may wish to bring before us.

I, Christan Moffett, Clerk of the Pollution Control Board,

certify that the Board adopted the above Opinio~

&

Order

this 14th day of November, 1972, by a vote of
