Respondent.

ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Anderson):

Pursuant to the Board’s order of June 17, 1993, a status

report was to be filed in this matter on or before August 25,

1993. On September 14, 1993, LTV filed a status report

accompanied by a motion for leave to file instanter and a waiver

of the decision deadline until March 7, 1994.

The motion for leave states that during the period

surrounding the August 25, 1993, due date for the status report

in this matter, petitioner LTV Steel Company was in the process

of emerging from bankruptcy. All of its legal personnel were

heavily involved in that effort and, as a result, the status

report filing date was overlooked. Petitioner’s local counsel,

Ross & Hardies, believed that Petitioner intended to file the

status report itself. The motion for leave is hereby granted.

The status report states that petitioner and respondent have

held a series of discussions concerning the inclusion of the

groundwater monitoring requirements in the permit that is the

subject of this appeal. Agreement has been nearly reached on

that issue and, provided that agreement is achieved, petitioner

will withdraw its appeal well before the requested decision date

of March 7, 1994.

Petitioner is directed to file an updated status report on

or before November 15, 1993, in the event that this appeal has

not previously been dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Dorothy N. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control

Board, hereby certif,y that the above order was adopted on the
