    (NPDES Permit Appeal)
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
    On December 7, 2006, at the parties’ request, the Board extended until
    February 15, 2007, the time period for the City of Geneva (City) to appeal an October 13, 2006
    determination of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency). The determination
    concerns the City’s wastewater treatment plant located at 602 Crissey Avenue in Geneva, Kane
    County. The Agency issued a permit, subject to conditions, under the National Pollutant
    Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). On February 15, 2007, the City timely filed a petition
    asking the Board to review the Agency’s determination.
    See
    415 ILCS 5/40(a)(1) (2004); 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 101.300(b), 105.208(a).
    To date, the Board has not accepted the petition for review. On March 13, 2007, the City
    filed a motion to withdraw its NPDES permit appeal. According to the motion, following the
    closure of the Agency public comment period concerning a proposed modification to the NPDES
    permit, the Agency informed the City that the Agency is prepared to issue the City an agreed
    upon modified NPDES permit. Motion at 1. The City moves to withdraw this NPDES permit
    appeal “[b]ecause the agreed upon modified NPDES Permit resolves all of the issues presented
    in this proceeding.”
    Id
    . at 2. The Board grants the motion, dismisses this appeal, and closes the
    docket.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on March 15, 2007, by a vote of 4-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
