Villager Planner, Ann Hintze, reported that the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency has reached a decision in the matter of the Facility Planning Area
boundary change that would enable the Skelly Truck Stop to be serviced with
sanitary sewer and water from the City of Joliet. The decision is to allow
this boundary change with the limiting conditions that Plainfield had reques-
ted regarding the depth of the wet well and size of the force main. The
decision also stated that the intentions of the City of Joliet concerning
service to additional properties in the Flainfield P.P.A. is unclear but that
such considerations will receive the careful scrutiny of the I.E.P.A. in the
future. Thus, although we lost the case, we gained the recognition to fore-
stall such events in the future as long as facility planning continues.
