AGENCY RECOMMENDATION
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency recommends
that, because of an arbitrary and unreasonable hardship, the
Petitioner be granted a provisional variance for 30 days pursuant
to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.134(b) and Section 37 of the
Environmental Protection Act. ACTION MUST BE TAKEN WITHIN 2 DAYS
OF NOTIFICATION OF THIS RECOMMENDATION FROM THE AGENCY.

frqn~Petitioner. Petitioner requests an extension of time
pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.134(b) for its facility in
Williamson County.
2. The Agency has concluded that the hazardous wastes must
remain on-site for longer than 90 days due to unforeseen,
temporary and uncontrollable circumstances and that compliance
with the accumulation time requirements of 35 Ill. Adm. Code
722.134 would impose, under these circumstances, an arbitrary or
unreasonable hardship. The grant of this provisional variance
