    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by M. McFawn):
    On December 16, 1997, petitioner Borden Chemicals and Plastics Operating
    Limited Partnership (Borden) and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
    (Agency) filed a “Joint Motion to Correct Opinion and Order,” seeking correction of
    two apparent typographical errors in the Board’s opinion and order of November 6,
    1997, granting Borden a variance from 35 Ill. Adm. Code 302.211(b)-(e) and 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 304.105. Upon review, it is apparent that two typographical errors were
    made in the table on pages 8 and 9 of the Board’s November 6 order. Accordingly,
    items 9 and 10 of the table located at pages 8 and 9 of the Board’s opinion and order of
    November 6, 1997, are hereby amended to read as follows:
    Item
    Description
    Completion
    Date
    9
    Choice of compliance option and/or decision to
    pursue adjusted standard
    9/30/1999
    10
    Order equipment to implement compliance
    option and/or file adjusted standard petition
    1/30/2000
    Borden and the Agency have also requested an amendment to paragraph C on
    page 8 of the Board’s order. That paragraph currently reads:
    C.
    During the variance period the temperature in the
    plant’s final polishing clarifier shall not exceed
    35ºC.
    Borden and the Agency point out that they had agreed that compliance with the
    temperature restriction would be based on the average daily temperature, and that the
    language of paragraph C does not reflect this. It was the intention of the Board to have
    2
    this provision of the November 6 order embody the agreement between the Agency and
    Borden. Accordingly, Paragraph C is hereby amended to provide:
    C.
    During the variance period the temperature in the
    plant’s final polishing clarifier shall not exceed a
    daily average of 35ºC.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    Board Member K.M. Hennessey abstained.
    Section 41 of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/41 (1996))
    provides for the appeal of final Board orders to the Illinois Appellate Court within 35
    days of service of this order. Illinois Supreme Court Rule 335 establishes such filing
    requirements. See 145 Ill. 2d R. 335; see also 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.246, Motions
    for Reconsideration.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby
    certify that the above order was adopted on the 8th day of January 1998, by a vote of
    5-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
