    ORDER OF THE BOARD:
    On Novenber 29,
    1995, Pete Georges Chevrolet,
    Inc.,
    (Pete
    Georges Chevrolet)
    filed three petitions for review of three
    Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency)
    final
    reimbursement determinations from the Underground Storage Tank
    Fund.
    The Agency issued a final reimbursement decision for each
    on October 25,
    1995 accompanied by attachment A which contains
    the stated reasons for deductions. The final determinations
    concern Pete Georges Chevrolet’s site located at 9440 South
    Cicero, Oaklawn, Cook County,
    Illinois. As the petitions for
    review involve the same site,
    the Board on its own motion
    consolidates these cases in the interest of administration
    2
    economy.
    These matters are 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. Adm. 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 March
    28,
    1996 (120 days from November 29,
    1995);
    the Board meeting
    immediately preceding the due date is scheduled for March 21,
    1996.
    If after appropriate consultation with the parties, the
    parties fail to provide an acceptable hearing date or if after an
    attempt the hearing officer is unable to consult with the
    parties, the hearing officer shall unilaterally set a hearing
    date in conformance with the schedule above.
    The hearing officer
    and the parties are encouraged to expedite this proceeding as
    much as possible.
    The Board notes that Board rules
    (35 Iii.
    Adm.
    Code 105.102)
    reauire the Agency to file the entire Agency record
    of the reimbursement application within 14 days of notice of the
    petition.
    This order will not appear in the Board’s opinion volumes.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
