    (Permit Appeal)

    PROTECTION AGENCY,
    Respondent.
    DISSENTING STATEMENT (by J.D. Dumelle):
    This permit appeal was filed with the Board on July 26,
    1988. That date was 2 years and one month ago and still the case
    is not yet ready for decision.
    This Board has been repeatedly criticized by USEPA for
    taking too long a time to decide pending matters. Yet it has let
    this case drag on for 25 months.
    The August 29, 1990 motion describes four separate filings
    of permit modifications and closure plans with IEPA. To me that
    shows that Laclede Steel Co. is actively pursuing a revision to
    the same matter here before us in another forum, that o~the
    IEPA. Our longstanding doctrine holds that the instant case
    should be dismissed and I would have done so.
    Repeated rescheduling of hearings that are never held only
    wastes precious taxpayers money for legal notices.
    For these reasons, I dissent.
