ORDER OF THE BOARD (by R. C. Flemal):

On October 7, 1993 a complaint was filed by the People of the

State of Illinois alleging that respondent violated certain

provisions of the Act, Board regulations, and permit requirements

pertaining to air emissions at the subject facility. This matter

comes before the Board today on respondent’s December 20, 1993

motion for leave to file an amended answer to certain counts of

the complaint. No response to this motion was filed by

complainant.

Specifically, respondent states that on November 8, 1993, it

filed an answer to the complaint. Respondent did not include

answers to counts XIV and XVI through XX in its previous answer

to the complaint because these counts were the subject of

respondent’s motion to strike which was then pending before the

Board. On December 2, 1993 the Board entered an order that

inter

alia

denied respondentrs motion to strike certain allegations

contained in counts XIV and XVI through XX of the complaint. As

a result of the Board’s denial of respondent’s motion to strike,

the respondent now wishes to answer those allegations contained

in counts XIV and XVI through XX (relating to tank truck loading

operations).

The Respondent’s motion for leave to file its amended answer

to counts XIV and XVI through XX of the complaint is hereby

granted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

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