ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Concurring Opinion by Jacob D. Dumelle

While I concur in the Board’s decision to grant 5,000 connec-

tions as it did this date I do not agree with all the language of

the March 2, 1972 opinion.

In my dissent filed February 17, 1972 to the original January

31, 1972 Board order granting only 1,000 connections I fully explored

my reasons. Those reasons still hold and I shall not repeat

them

here.

I do not feel that the “new evidence” mentioned in the Bo~d

opinion (p.4) was needed or necessary. I think that our exten~ive

sewer ban hearings plus the instant case proceedings fully developed

the material for the conclusions reached.

The distribution of the connections between the Waukegan and

Clavey plants in the 2:1 ratio is not one I would have made. The

Clavey plant’s effluent has been of such good quality that I would

have reversed the ratio or made an unlimited grant at Clavey subject

to the effluent stanc ~rd for secondary plants not being exceeded.
