ORDER OF THE

(by R.C. Flemal):

On November

filed a

petition for hearing to review the denial by the Illinois

Environmental Protection Agency

(Agency)

of its RCRA closure plan

permit involving a waste cyanide storage area and waste

ballistics sand storage areas at the East Alton manufacturing

facility.

On September

1993, pursuant to Board order,

the

parties filed

a joint status report

in this proceeding.

The

parties report that they have been actively pursuing settlement

and that they have agreed in principle to coordinate the closure

of the ballistics sand storage units with the RCRA Facility

Investigation planned as part of the facility’s RCRA Part B

permit.

The parties also state that pursuant to settlement

discussions,

on September 7,

1993 Olin has submitted to the

Agency

a modified closure/post-closure plan for the ballistics

storage areas.

A certificate of clean closure for the waste

cyanide storage area was previously submitted to the Agency.

The

Agency

is currently reviewing the modified closure/post—closure

plan and the closure certification.

Finally, the parties state

that if an agreement on the closure

of each unit is reached, Olin

will move for dismissal of this appeal.

The parties are ordered to file a status report in this

matter on or before December 27,

1993,

in the event this appeal

has not been dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
