    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by 3.

    The Board in its order of September 1,
    1994 directed the
    petitioner to file a status report on or before January
    6, 1995
    and extended the stay in this matter until January 12,
    1995. On
    December 30,
    1994,
    Petitioner, Weyerhauser Co.,
    filed a status
    report in accordance with the Board’s order.
    The Board granted
    the petitioner a stay pending the decision of the Illinois Office
    of State Fire Marshal
    (OSFN) decision regarding the registration
    status of the underground storage
    tank
    (UST)
    involved in this
    proceeding.
    There has been an open waiver filed in this
    proceeding and as of the date of this order,
    no hearing has been
    held in this matter.
    As reported in the petitioner’s previous status report, the
    OSFM has deferred making a decision in the matter pending the
    outcome of Board of Education, Community Consolidated School
    Dist.
    No.
    15 v. Armstead, No. 91 CH 4963, which involves similar
    issues as in this matter. Armstead was decided on September 11,
    1992 upholding the arguments made by the petitioner.
    The State
    has appealed the decision of the Circuit Court in Board of
    Education. Community Consolidated School Dist.
    No.
    15 v.
    Armstead, No. 92-4145
    (Ill. App. Ct., 1st Dist.).
    Petitioner’s
    attorney was informed by the Office of the Clerk of the Illinois
    Appellate Court,
    First District, that all briefs have been
    submitted but that the case has not yet been set for oral
    argument.
    No further information is available as to when this
    case may proceed to oral argument.
    The OSFM has stated that it
    does not plan to take action until the Appellate Court rules in
    Armstead.
    Petitioner requests an additional 180 day stay in this
    matter until September 10,
    1995.
    Petitioners request to extend the stay in this matter is
    granted.
    Petitioner is directed to file another status report
    with the Clerk of the Board and the assigned hearing officer in
    this case on or before August 11,
    1995, discussing the progress
    in this matter.
    The stay in this matter is extended until August
    17,
    1995.
    If the Appellate Court makes a decision in Armstead
    petitioner shall promptly report the fact to the Board.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
