    ORDER OF THE
    BOARD
    (by
    B. Forcade):
    On June 23, 1989, Acme Steel Company (“Acme”)
    filed an
    agreed motion for stay of proceedings, and a waiver until
    November
    2,
    1989.
    The Board notes
    that November
    2,
    1989 is
    112
    days from today.
    Since
    that
    is less time than is normally
    required for actions of
    this type,
    the Board cannot grant a
    stay.
    The Board also notes
    that
    this 1987 case has not yet gone
    to hearing.
    Also,
    the two previously scheduled hearings have
    been cancelled after notice of hearing has been published;
    this
    misinforms the public and wastes Board resources.
    The Board directs
    the hearing officer
    to schedule a hearing
    within 14 days and complete such hearing within 60 days.
    This
    schedule may be extended only
    if Acme provides a sufficient
    waiver of decision deadline to allow ample time for any stay and
    reasonable Board hearing and decision.
    The Board also directs
    the hearing officer that once notice of any future hearing has
    been published, such hearing shall proceed absent emergency or
    extreme circumstances.
    The motion for stay is denied.
    IT IS SO ORDERED
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn,
    Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
    Board, hereby certify
    at the above Order was adopted on
    the
    /~Z

    1989, by a vote
    of
    7—c)
