    ORDER OF THE
    BOARD
    (by B. Forcade):
    On October 18, 1985, Central Illinois Public Service Company
    filed a permit appeal.
    This matter
    is accepted for hearing.
    Hearing Lust be scheduled within.14 days of the date of this
    Order and completed within 60 days of the date of this Order.
    The 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 and all
    actual exhibits to the Board within 5 days of the hearing.
    The
    hearing officer may by order set a schedule for submis#ion of
    briefs.
    But such schedule shall provide for final filings as
    expeditiously as possible and in no event later than
    79
    days from
    the date of this Order.
    If after appropriate consultation with the parties, the
    parties fail to provide an acceptable hearing date or
    j.f after an
    attempt the hearing officer
    is unable to consult with ~he
    parties’,
    the hearing officer shall unilaterally set a hearing
    date
    in conformance with the schedule above.
    This schedule will
    only provide the Board a very short time period to deliberate and
    reach a decision before the due date.
    The hearing officer and
    the parties are encouraged to expedite this proceeding as much as
    possible.
    The. hearing officer may extend this schedule only on a
    waiver of the decision deadline by the petitioner and only for
    the equivalent or fewer number of days that the decision deadline
    is waived.
    Such waivers must be provided in writing to the Clerk
    of the Board.
    Any waiver must be an uopen waiver’ or a waiver of
    decision until a date certain.
    Any waiver shall extend the time
    deadline of Section 105.102 regarding filing the Agency record by
    the equivalent number of days, but in any circumstance the record
    must be filed at least 10 days before the hearing.
    06-187
    Because this proceeding is the type for which the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Act sets a very short statutory deadline
    for decisionmaking, absent a waiver, the
    Board
    will grant
    extensions or modifications only in unusual circumstances.
    Any
    such motion must set forth an alternative schedule for notice,
    heating, and final submissions, as well as the deadline for
    decision, including response time to such a motion.
    However, no
    such motion shall negate the obligation of the hearing officer to
    set a date pursuant to the second paragraph of this Order.
    IT IS SO ORDERED
    I, Dorothy N. Gunn,
    Clerk
    of the Illinois Pollution
    Control
    Board, hereby certify that the above Order was adopted on
    the 4~’ day of
    -
