Wachta v. Pollution Control Board

Petitioners, Fred Wachta and J. Richard Mota d/b/a Belle Plaine Subdivision, seek review of a decision of Respondent, Illinois Pollution Control Board, denying them a “hardship” variance from an order of the Board which had revoked sewer connection permits for nineteen lots owned by Petitioners to the facilities of the North Shore Sanitary District.

Direct appeal was taken from the decision of the Board to this court as is afforded by Section 41 of the Environmental Control Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1971, Ch. 111%, Par. 1001, et seq.), and pursuant to the provisions of the Administrative Review Act.
