    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by N. McFawn):
    On July 6, 1995, petitioner Commonwealth Edison Company
    (ConiEd) filed a “Motion to Vacate Hearing Order of April 6, 1995
    and to Withdraw Petition to Designate the Joliet/Lincoin Quarry
    Site as a Surface Impoundment.” In this motion CornEd seeks to
    withdraw those portions of its petition seeking to designate the
    Joliet/Lincoin Quarry site (site) as a surface impoundment, and
    seeks relief from the Board’s April 6, 1995 order directing that
    a hearing be held on this issue; the hearing is scheduled to be
    held July 11, 1995.
    In support of its motion, CornEd states that it has been
    involved in on-going discussions with the Agency, and that they
    have reached a compromise intended to address management of
    elevated constituent concentrations in groundwater at the site.
    CornEd and the Agency have agreed to address these issues through
    the establishment of a Groundwater Management Zone in an
    operating permit to be issued to CornEd. CornEd states that the
    compromise has resolved the issues leading to its request for
    site—specific relief related to groundwater issues, and it
    therefore seeks to withdraw its request that the Board designate
    the site as a surface impoundment. CornEd states that several
    issues remain with respect to the original petition for Board
    determination, and proposes to file an amended petition after
    reviewing the scope or relief necessary. Coined’s motion states
    that the Agency has agreed to the relief requested in the motion.
    Without commenting on the substance of the agreed—upon
    compromise between CoinEd and the Agency, which is not before the
    Board, we hereby grant CoinEd’s motion to withdraw its petition to
    designate the site as a surface impoundment. Additionally, we
    direct that the hearing in this matter scheduled for July 11,
    1995, be cancelled. The hearing officer is directed to schedule
    such hearings as necessary upon receipt of CornEd’s amended
    petition, and to take such actions as necessary to expedite this
    proceeding.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
