    County/Compliance
    On April
    8, 2005, the
    Illinois EPAreceived the attached request in which Natural Gas Pipeline Company
    (“NPGL”) requested a provisional variance from the accumulation time limitations of
    35
    Ill. Adm. Code
    722.134(b) forthe above-referenced facility. The Illinois EPA has reviewed the information provided and
    has decided to grant a provisional variance from the accumulation time limitations of 35
    Ill. Adm. Code
    722.134(b) due to unforeseen, temporary and uncontrollable circumstances.
    Compliance
    with
    the
    accumulation time limitations of 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 722.134(b) would impose, under these circumstances,
    an arbitrary or unreasonable hardship.
    The grant of this provisional variance appears consistent with 40
    CER 262.34(b)
    (1991), adopted pursuant
    to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976
    (P.L.
    94-5
    80),
    which authorizes the Regional
    Administrator for the United States Environmental Protection Agency to grant similar extensions when
    hazardous wastes must remain on-site for longer than 90 days due to unforeseen, temporary, or
    uncontrollable circumstances.
    This provisional variance from the accumulation time limitations of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.134(b) is
    granted for the time period from April
    13, 2005 through May
    13, 2005
    subject to the following
    conditions:
    A.
    NPGL shall notif~’
    Brian White of the Agency by telephone at 217/782-9987 when the
    waste has been delivered to the TSD facility. Written
    confirmation of this notice shall be
    sent within five
    days to the following address:
