    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
     
    On March 8, 2001, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) and
    petitioner filed a request for extension of the 35-day appeal period pursuant to Section 40 of
    the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/40(a)(1) (2000)), relating to a January 30,
    2001 Agency determination. On June 4, 2001, McHenry Storage (Storage) filed a petition for
    review of an Agency determination regarding petitioner’s request for reimbursement from the
    Underground Storage Tank Fund. The petitioner allegedly incurred such expenses at its
    facility located in McHenry County.
     
     
    The Board accepts this matter for hearing. The Board’s rules require that the Agency
    file its entire record of the reimbursement application within 30 days of notice of the petition.
    See 35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.116. Hearings must be scheduled and completed in a timely
    manner, pursuant to the applicable statutory decision deadline, or the deadline as extended by
    waiver. See 35 Ill. Adm. Code. 101.308, 105.114.
     
    Absent any future waivers of the decision deadline, the statutory decision deadline is
    now October 2, 2001 (120 days from June 4, 2001); the Board meeting immediately preceding
    the decision deadline is scheduled for September 20, 2001.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
    the above order was adopted on the 7th day of June 2001 by a vote of 7-0.
