    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J.
    C. Marlin):
    On
    October
    4,
    1991,
    the
    Petitioner
    filed
    a
    Motion
    to
    Consolidate Proceedings
    in Commonwealth Edison
    v.
    IEPA,
    PCB
    91-
    158.;
    Commonwealth Edison v.
    IEPA, PCB 91-178; Commonwealth Edison
    v.
    IEPA, PCB 91-179; and Commonwealth Edison v.
    IEPA,
    PCB 91-180.
    The
    Respondent
    did
    not
    filed
    a
    response.
    The
    Petitioner’s
    facilities for which the permit is being sought in PCB 91-158 and
    PCB 91-179 are located in Cook County.
    The facilities in PCB 91-
    178 and PCB 91-180 are located in Will County.
    In support
    of its Motion, Petitioner states that in all four
    of the permit appeals the Petitioner is seeking review of the same
    special permit condition.
    In addition, the Petitioner states that
    the same relief is being sought
    in all four petitions.
    Section 40 of the Environmental Protection Act requires that
    notice of hearing shall be given to any person in the county where
    the facility is located who has requested such notice and that such
    notice be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the
    county.
    Section
    103.125
    of
    the Board’s
    procedural
    rules
    also
    states that the
    hearing
    shall
    be held
    in the county where
    the
    facility
    is
    located unless the hearing
    officer shall for stated
    cause designate another county.
    Therefore,
    the Board denies the
    Petitioner’s Motion to Consolidate Proceedings with regards to all
    of the proceedings.
    However, to conserve the resources of all the
    126—609
    2
    parties, the Board will grant the consolidation of PCB 91-158 with
    PCB 91-179.
    Further, the Board will grant the consolidation of PCB
    91—178 with PCB 91—180.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
