    v.
    )
    (Enforcement)
    HILLVE~ FARMS FERTILIZERS,
    INC.,
    and Illinois Corporation,
    and
    ARNOLD N. MAY,
    individually and
    as president of Hiliview Farms
    Fertilizers,
    Inc.,
    Respondent.
    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J.D. Dumelle):
    On November
    15,
    1989,
    the Board on its own motion adopted
    an
    Order
    directing the parties
    to file
    a status report
    no later
    than
    December
    15,
    1989.
    On that date,
    the Complainant, People
    of
    the
    State of
    Illinois,
    filed
    its status report.
    The Board has
    received no
    response from the Respondent.
    After noting the pendency of
    a proceeding
    involving Arnold
    N.
    May
    in Bankruptcy Court
    in which Hillview Farms Fertilizers,
    Inc.,
    is listed as an asset,
    the Complainant stated its belief
    tnat no ongoing environmental concerns exist at the site due
    to
    the negotiated cleanup which was completed in the fall
    of 1988.
    Complainant states,
    however,
    that
    issues remain ~n this action,
    including Complainant’s
    request
    for the finding of violations and
    the imposition of civil
    penalties.
    To address
    these
    issues,
    Complainant requests
    a discovery cut—off date of
    90 days,
    with
    a
    hearing
    to follow.
    As
    it appears
    that the alleged violations are not of
    a
    continuing nature but rather are alleged
    to have occurred during
    a specific period of
    time,
    the Board can see no
    reason
    to
    delay
    this proceeding any longer.
    The HearIng Officer
    is directed to
    set
    a reasc:.able discovery period and then proceed
    to hearing
    without further
    delay.
    IT
    IS
    SO ORDERED.
