ORDER OF THE BOARD:

On December 20,

1994, Chase Products Company, filed a

petition for permit review regarding its facility, located at

19th and Gardner Road,

Broadview, Cook County,

Illinois.

This

matter is accepted for hearing.

The hearing must be scheduled and completed in a timely

manner, consistent with Board practices and the applicable

statutory decision deadline, or the decision deadline as extended

by a waiver (petitioner may file a waiver of the statutory

decision

deadline

pursuant

to

35

Ill.

Adin.

Code 101.105).

The

Board will assign a hearing officer to conduct hearings

consistent with this order, and the Clerk of the Board shall

promptly issue appropriate directions to that assigned hearing

officer.

The assigned hearing officer shall inform the Clerk of the

Board of the time and location of the hearing at least 40 days in

advance of hearing so that public notice of hearing

may be

published.

After hearing, the hearing officer shall submit an

exhibit list,

a statement regarding credibility of witnesses and

all actual exhibits to the Board within five days of the hearing.

Any briefing schedule shall provide for final filings as

expeditiously as possible and,

in time—limited cases,

no later

than 30 days prior to the decision due date, which is the final

regularly scheduled Board meeting date on or before the statutory

or deferred decision deadline.

Absent any future waivers of the

decision deadline, the statutory decision deadline is now April

19, 1995

(120 days from December 20,

1994); the Board meeting

immediately preceding the due date is scheduled for March 16,

1995.

schedule

above.

and

(35 Ill. Adm.

Code 105.102) require the Agency to file the entire A~encyrecord
