ORDER OF THE BOARD (by R.C. Flemal):
On April 23, 1996 the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency filed a “Motion for
Extension of Time to File Agency Record”.
Pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.102(a)(4), the Agency record is to be filed with the
Pollution Control Board within 14 days "upon notice of the petition". The Agency states that
it received notice of the petition on or about February 14, 1996. The record was therefore due
to be filed on February 28, 1996. The Agency requests a grant of extension to any date not
less than 21 days prior to hearing.
The Agency claims that no prejudice will attach to Butterick Company if the motion is
granted because petitioner is already in possession of the majority of the documents which
would constitute the Agency record. The Board received a response from the Butterick
Company on April 29, 1996 stating that it does not object to the Agency’s request for
additional time to file the record. No hearing has yet been set in this matter and the Butterick
Company filed an open waiver of the Board’s decision deadline. According to the Agency, the
parties believe that litigation may be avoided due to discussions leading to a negotiated
settlement.
The Board hereby grants the Agency until 30 days prior to the scheduled hearing in this
matter to file the complete Agency record.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
the above order was adopted on the _____ day of ___________, 1996, by a vote of
______________.
