ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD
    August 15, 1972
    CI~ OF HIGHWOOD
    #72—334
    v.
    ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
    )
    ORDER
    The City of Highwood has petitioned for variance of SWB-7
    and the Rules and Regulations of the Board relating to water pollu-
    tion with respect to the waste water discharge from the City’s water
    filtration plant. SWB-7 requires that this facility be in compliance
    by July 1, 1972.
    No allegations appear in the petition justifying the delay in
    compliance. We have held in previous cases that such a showing is a
    necessary element to the granting of a variance. See Decatur Sanita~~
    District v. Environmental Protection A~ency, #71-37. Rather than dis-
    miss the petition, we will grant the City twenty days from the date
    of this Order to submit a statement of such facts which it believes
    serve as justification for the City’s failure to meet the requisite
    deadline.
    We do so in order that when the record is received by the Board,
    it will not be deficient in this respect.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Christan Moffett, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board,
    certify that the above Order was ado~ptedon the 15th Day of August,
    1972, by a vote of
