    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by N.J. Melas):
     
    On May 8, 2001, the Office of the Attorney General, on behalf of the People of the State
    of Illinois (People), filed a complaint against Diamond Plating Company (Diamond).
    See
    415
    ILCS 5/31(c)(1) (2000); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.204. The People allege that Diamond violated
    Section 722.141 of the Board’s regulations by failing to submit a Hazardous Waste Generator
    Annual Report for 1998. The complaint concerns Diamond’s nickel and chrome plating facility
    at #5 Cain Drive in Madison, Madison County, Illinois.
     
    On October 11, 2001, the People and Diamond filed a stipulation and proposed
    settlement, accompanied by a request for relief from the hearing requirement of Section 31(c)(1)
    of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(1) (2000)). This filing is
    authorized by Section 31(c)(2) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(2) (2000)).
    See
    35 Ill. Adm. Code
    103.300(a).
     
    Unless the Board determines that a hearing is needed, the Board must cause notice of the
    stipulation, proposed settlement, and request for relief from the hearing requirement. Any person
    may file a written demand for hearing within 21 days after receiving the notice. If anyone timely
    files a written demand for hearing, the Board will deny the parties’ request for relief and hold a
    hearing. 415 ILCS 5/31(c)(2) (2000); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.300(b), (c). The Board directs the
    Clerk of the Board to provide the required notice.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
     
     
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on October 18, 2001, by a vote of 7-0.
     
     
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
