For Nobel Risley's Landfill #2

MOTION TO SUPPLEMENT THE RECORD TO ADD GROUNDWATER DATA

ANALYSIS

TO I)ETlTlONER'S SECOND AMENDED PETITION

NOW COMES the Petitioner, Risley Landfill #2 CPetitioner," "Risley" or "Landfill

#2"), by and through its attorneys

of the Livingston Law Firm, and hereby moves this Pollution

Control Board

CBoard") to accept Exhibit I as a supplement to the record in the above-captioned

matter.

In supp0l1 of this Motion, Petitioner states as follows:

On January 4,2008, the Illinois

EnviroIU11ental Protection Agency CIllinois EPA")

recommended that the Board grant Petitioner's request for an Adjusted Standard for chlorides at

600mg/L and deny Petitioner's request for an Adjusted Standard for sulfates at 4,500 mg/L.

On February 28,2008, Petitioner filed its Second Amended Petition for Adjusted

Standards wherein Petitioner amended its request for a sulfates Adjusted Standard to only 2,381

mg/L.

On several occasions since the filing of the Second Amended Petition, engineers

from Leggette Brashears

Graham CLBG") (on behalf of Petitioner) have discussed the technical

justifications for a sulfate Adjusted Standard with lllinois EPA.

On or about March 26, 2008, lllinois EPA received a five-page documentfrom LBG

regarding Petitioner'sstatistical verification for its requested Adjusted Standard

of 2,381 mg/L for

sulfates. See Exhibit

Electronic Filing - Received, Clerk's Office, April 14, 2008

Pagel of the Exhibit lists the basic data showing the actual sample data and the

averaged data. Page 2 contains the data set from the statistical program (i.e. the data that is utilized

in the calculations). This data set matches the averaged data on Page

1. Page 3 describes the outlier

testing results showing that there are no outliers in the data set. Page 4 contains the normality testing

result showing that the data

is normally distributed. Page 5 contains the results of the calculations

showing the following: number

ofsamples (21); mean (2, 161mg/L); standard deviation (584 mg/L);

t-test

coefficient (1.724); and 95% UCL (2,381mg/L).

Given the importance of this documentation as a resource for Illinois EPA's

analysis of the Landfill's amended request for a sulfates Adjusted Standard, its inclusion as part of

thc rccord is critical.

Peti tioner's understanding is that Illinois EPA supports Petitioner'sinclusion ofthis

documentation into the record as it contains new data to

justifY Petitioner's Adjusted Standard

request for sulfates.

WHEREFORE, for all ofthe reasons stated above, the Petitioner respectfully requests

that this honorable Board

GRANT the Petitioner's Motion to Supplement the Record to Add

Groundwater Data Analysis to Petitioner's Second Amended Petition.
