v.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

ORDER OF THE BOARD

(BY SAMUEL T.

LAWTON,

JR.)

Petition was filed by the Village of Palos Park requesting

a variance of Rule 502 of Chapter

2, Part V,

to permit the open

burning of leaves within the village.

We find the petition inadequate to satisfy our procedural

rules, but grant the village ten days in which to file a supple-

mental statement which should include the following:

1.

What specific landfill facilities are available in the

vicinity of the village and what ones have expressly

declined to accept leaves;

2.

What alternatives to open burning the village has con-

sidered;

3.

Precisely what costs the village would incur in comply-

ing with the Regulation, particularly with respect to the

purchase of equipment, and why air curtain destructors

or comparable facilities would not be available.

The Agency shall file its recommendation within ten days from

receipt of the additional information.

The 90—day statutory period

in which a variance must be granted will not run until receipt

by the Board of the additional material to be submitted by petitioner.

IT IS SO ORDERED,

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

certify that the above Order was adopted on the /-~“°dayof Septem—
