Opinion & Order of the Board (by Mr. Currie):

These petitions seek variances to allow new sewer connections

to treatment plants in the North Shore Sanitary District despite

the sewer ban imposed in League of Women Voters v. NSSD,

#70—7 (March 31, 1971)

In #71—343, NSSD v. EPA (as revised March 2, 1972), we have

granted the District a blanket variance on the basis of treatment

plant improvements that allows up to 5000 new connections to be

made at Clavey Road and at Waukegan, to which plants the sewers

in the present cases are allegedly tributary. The petitioners

are free to apply to the District for permits under that decision.

In the absence of a showing that such applications have been

made and denied the present petitions are moot and are there-

fore dismissed. Chesterfield Development Corp. v. EPA, #71—378

(March 2, 1972).

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

that the Board adopted the above Opinion & Order this 28th day

of March, 1972, by a vote of 5-0.
