    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Anderson):
    On August 4, 1993, the Joliet Park District (Joliet Airport
    Facility) (Joliet) filed a motion requesting the Board to stay
    its ruling on the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s
    (Agency) May 12, 1993 motion for summary judgment in this matter.
    Joliet’s motion comes in response to a June 3, 1993 Board order.
    In its June 3, 1993 order, the Board granted the parties’
    May 21, 1993 joint request to stay the filing of Joliet’s
    response to the motion for summary judgment as well as the
    Board’s ruling on the motion itself. The Board also directed the
    hearing officer to cancel the June 9, 1993 hearing that was
    scheduled and stated that Joliet’s response was to be received by
    the Board no later than July 21, 1993.
    In support of its current motion to stay, Joliet asserts
    that, although it has received notification from the Office of
    the State Fire Marshal (OSFM) that the underground storage tank
    at issue would be considered registered by its office, the Agency
    has not yet received formal notification of the OSFM’s decision.
    Joliet adds that delaying the ruling on the Agency’s motion for
    summary judgment would allow the Agency to process Joliet’s
    application and grant reimbursement.
    At the outset, the Board notes that Joliet’s current motion
    was not filed by the deadline specified in the Board’s June 3,
    1993 order (i.e., July 21, 1993). Accordingly, Joliet should
    have requested leave to file its motion to stay instanter. In
    the interest of administrative economy, however, the Board hereby
    accepts Joliet’s late filing of its motion to stay.
    The Board hereby grants Joliet a limited stay. The Board,
    in its June 3, 1993 order, stated that it intended to issue a
    ruling on the Agency’s motion for summary judgment at one of its
    August, 1993 Board meetings so that the hearing officer could
    reschedule hearing, in the event that the motion is denied,
    consistent with the November 9, 1993 statutory decision deadline.
    2
    Accordingly, the Board grants Joliet an additional two weeks in
    which to file a response to the Agency’s motion for summary
    judgment. Joliet’s response is to be received by the Board no
    later than ~August 23, 1993, so that the Board can take action at
    its August 26, 1993 meeting. Joliet must provide an additional
    waiver of the November 9, 1993 decision deadline if it wishes to
    have a lengthier stay.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
