ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by J.
C. Marlin):
This matter comes before the Board on a September 3,
1992
motion by Weyerhauser Company (Petitioner) to stay the
proceedings.
The purpose of this motion is to stay the
proceedings until a final decision by the Illinois Office of the
State Fire Marshal
(“OSFM”)
is rendered determining the
registration status of the UST in question.
As the petitioner
points out in its motion, the registration status of the UST is a
central factual issue in this appeal.
In addition,
it is also
possible that the OSFM determination will render this appeal
moot.
In its motion, Petitioner also asserts that the Agency
authorized the Petitioner to state that the Agency is not opposed
to the granting of this motion.
The Board believes that granting
this motion will not result in any prejudice to the Agency.
Petitioner has moved the Board to stay the proceedings until
30 days after the conclusion of any appeal of the decision of the
OSFM.
As the Board does not favor indeterminate stays, the Board
will grant the stay for 120 days with the understanding that the
Petitioner shall file a status report at that time and may move
the Board for an additional stay if necessary.
The Board also
notes at this time,
that on September 3,
1992, pursuant to 35
Ill. Ad. Code 101.105 the Petitioner waived its right to final
Board action on this matter as provided for in section 40 of the
Act.
Ill. Rev.
Stat.
ch.
111 1/2 par. 1040
(1991).
Petitioner’s motion to stay the proceedings is hereby
granted for 120 days through January 17,
1993;
at that time
petitioner shall file a status report which includes an estimated
date for termination of this action.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
