    ORDER OF THE BOARD:
    On August 26, 1994, National Steel Corporation, Granite City
    Division filed a petition for permit review regarding its on—site
    nonhazardous solid waste landfill at its integrated steelniaking
    facility, located in Granite City, Illinois, Madison County. The
    petition was accompanied by a motion to appear p~ ~ vice,
    which is hereby granted. This matter is accepted for hearing.
    The hearing must be scheduled and completed in a timely
    manner, consistent with Board practices and the applicable
    statutory decision deadline, or the decision deadline as extended
    by a waiver (petitioner may file a waiver of the statutory
    decision deadline pursuant to 35 Iii. Adni. Code 101.105). A
    hearing officer shall be assigned to conduct hearings. The Clerk
    of the Board shall promptly issue appropriate directions to the
    assigned hearing officer consistent with this order.
    The assigned hearing officer shall inform the Clerk of the
    Board of the time and location of the hearing at least 40 days in
    advance of hearing so that public notice of hearing may be
    published. After hearing, the hearing officer shall submit an
    exhibit list, a statement regarding credibility of witnesses and
    all actual exhibits to the Board within five days of the hearing.
    Any briefing schedule shall provide for final filings as
    expeditiously as possible and, in time-limited cases, no later
    than 30 days prior to the decision due date, which is the final
    regularly scheduled Board meeting date on or before the statutory
    or deferred decision deadline. Absent any future waivers of the
    decision deadline, the statutory decision deadline is now
    December 24, 1994 (120 days from August 26, 1994); the Board
    meeting immediately preceding the due date is scheduled for
    December 15, 1994.
    If after appropriate consultation with the parties, the
    parties fail to provide an acceptable hearing date or if after an
    attempt the hearing officer is unable to consult with the
    parties, the hearing officer shall unilaterally set a hearing
    2
    date in conformance with the schedule above. The hearing
    officer and the parties are encouraged to expedite this
    proceeding as much as possible. The Board notes that Board rules
    (35 Ill. Adni. Code 105.102) require the Agency to file the entire
    Agency record of the permit application within 14 days of notice
    of the petition.
    This order will not appear in the Board’s opinion volumes.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
