    ORDER
    OF THE
    BOARD
    (by G. T. Girard):
    On April
    18,
    1994, Laidlaw Waste Systems, Inc. filed an
    amended petition for permit review regarding its Cahokia Road
    Sanitary Landfill facility, located in Madison County.
    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 Iii. Adm. Code 101.105).
    The
    Chief Hearing Officer shall assign a hearing officer to conduct
    hearings.
    The Clerk of the Board shall promptly issue
    appropriate directions to the assigned hearing officer consistent
    with this order.
    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.
    The Board notes that for purposes
    of calculation of a decision deadline pursuant to Section 40 of
    the Act, the filing of an amended petition restarts the
    calculation of the Board’s 120 day deadline.
    In this case, the
    statutory decision deadline has been waived to August 22, 1994;
    therefore the decision due date is August 11,
    1994.
    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
    2
    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 Ill.
    Adin. Code 105.102) reauire the Agency to file the entire
    Agency record of the permit a~~lication
    within 14 days of notice
    of the petition.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn,
    Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
    Board, he eby certify that the above order was ~dopted on the
    ~
    day of
