    (Variance - Land)
    DISSENTING OPINION (by J. Theodore Meyer):
    I dissent from today’s majority opinion because Subpart D of the Board’s
    landfill regulations provided sufficient time for landfills to achieve compliance. In
    fact, the flooding that occurred in Illinois resulted in an additional six months of time
    to achieve compliance. Thus, I believe any hardship experienced by petitioner was
    self-imposed and therefore would have denied this variance.

    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby
    certify that the above dissenting opinion was submitted on the 19th
      
    day of
    September1997.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
