The waiver we understand will be in force for two (2) years only, beginning March 16, 2011 , and should cover University Campuses (j^oop 2nd Ward and 42"d Ward).
For your information the University is a not-for-profit corporation chartered in the State of Illinois, whose tax exempt number is E9990-9022-07, copy of the tax exempt letter is attached. If it is at all feasible, please add to Section 1 the Department of Environment as one of the City departments.
