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

 

 

On August 16, 2001, Community Landfill Co. and the City of Morris (petitioners) filed a

permit appeal and a motion for expedited review (motion). Petitioners challenge the Illinois

Environmental Protection Agency’s (Agency) denial of petitioners’ supplemental permit

application. The Board accepts this matter for hearing.

 

In their motion, petitioners request that a hearing be held within 21 days and the Board

issue a decision within 60 days. Motion at 3. Petitioners allege the landfill will run out of

permitted air space, and petitioners will be left with no source of income to comply with the

permit conditions. Motion at 3. The motion for expedited review is granted, although the Board

declines to commit itself to the extraordinarily tight schedule proposed by petitioners. The

Board will schedule and complete hearings in an expedited and timely manner pursuant to the

applicable statutory decision deadline or as extended by waiver (see 415 ILCS 5/40(a)(2)(2000),

35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.308). Unless otherwise ordered by the hearing officer, the Agency shall

file the record of its review in this matter within 30 days of the filing of the petition. See 35 Ill.

Adm. Code 105.116.

 

 

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 23rd day of August 2001 by a vote of 7-0.

 

 

Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
