ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Anderson):
This matter comes before the Board on a March 12, 1992
motion to file the record instanter filed by the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency (Agency). This petition was
filed with the Board on or about November 25, 1991, and the
Agency asserts that it received notice of the petition on
December 2, 1991. 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”. This motiOn and
the record were filed 101 days after the Agency received notice
of petitioner’s appeal and is 87 days late. The Agency stated
that it believes no prejudice has occurred to petitioner due to
the delay.
Apart from the question of whether the petitioner is
prejudiced the Board is concerned about the very substantial
delay in filing this record. The Board also notes with concern
the absence of any earlier motion requesting an extension of
time. The Agency’s motion to allow filing of the Agency record
instanter is hereby granted.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I, Dorothy N. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
