ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by J. Anderson):
On March
16,
1993,
The Grigoleit Company
(Grigoleit) filed a
joint status report in response to the Board’s February 25,
1993
order in this matter and a motion to continue.
In its February
25,
1993 order, the Board directed the parties to file status
reports with the Board by March 16,
1993.
In its response, Grigoleit requests the Board to continue
this matter and require the parties to file a status report on or
before May 3,
1993.
In support of its request, Grigoleit states
that it has continued settlement negotiations with the State
which would,
if successful, culminate in the settlement of this
case as well as the following three cases:
PCB 91-157, People
of the State of Illinois v. The Grigoleit Company
PCB 92—23, The
Grigoleit ComPanY v. Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
and PCB 92-110,
In the Matter of Trade Secret Claim by The
GricToleit Company.
Grigoleit adds that,
in addition to the settlement
discussions set forth in the parties’ February 16,
1993 status
report, the State has provided Grigoleit with written responses
to the settlement proposal on February 19 and 25,
1993,
and on
March
16,
1993.
On February 25,
1993, Grigoleit replied to the
Agency’s February 19,
1993 response.
Because of difficulties in
coordinating schedules, the parties have been unable to meet in
person to further their discussions.
The parties are now trying
to schedule such a meeting for the first week of April.
In light of the above, the Board grants Grigoleit’s motion
to continue.
Accordingly, the Board will reserve ruling on
Grigoleit’s September 3,
1992 motion for reconsideration that is
currently pending in this case.
The Board notes that this is the
parties’ fourth motion to continue this matter for the purpose of
settlement negotiations.
Accordingly, the Board cautions the
parties that it will not continue this matter indefinitely and
that it expects the parties to expeditiously pursue a resolution
of this case.
The parties are directed to file status reports in

this matter.
Such status reports are to be received by the Board
no later than May
3,
1993.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
