    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning)
    A complaint in the above captioned matter was filed on December 30, 1999. The
    complaint alleges that the respondent violated specified provisions of the Illinois Environmental
    Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/1
    et seq
    . (1998)) and the Board’s regulations. The complaint
    alleges that violations occurred at various facilities located in Tazewell and Peoria Counties,
    Illinois. The Board accepts this matter for hearing.
    The Board directs that this matter proceed to hearing as expeditiously as practicable.
    The assigned hearing officer must set the matter for hearing in accordance with the
    requirements of the Act and the Board’s procedural rules. Accordingly, this matter must be set
    for hearing within 90 days after the filing of the complaint unless the hearing officer, after
    appropriate consultation with the parties, determines that a later date is appropriate and that no
    undue delay or material prejudice in the resolution of this matter would result. See 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 103.125(a). In any event, it is the responsibility of the hearing officer to guide the
    parties toward prompt resolution or adjudication of this matter, through whatever status calls
    and hearing officer orders he or she determines are necessary and appropriate.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
