    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
    On October 7, 1996 Groen Waste Service (petitioner) filed a notice of extension of the 35-day
    appeal period pursuant to Section 40 of the Environmental Protection Act, relating to a September 12,
    1996 Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) determination. The Agency o
    n October 17,
    1996 filed its agreement to the extension. The Agency requested the extension “to December
    11, 1996, or any other date not more than a total of 90 days from the date of the Agency's
    final determination.”
    P.A. 88-690 (SB1724) effective January 24, 1995 amends Section 40(a), which governs
    the permit appeal process, to provide:
    the 35-day period for petitioning for a hearing may be extended
    for a period of time not to exceed 90 days by written notice
    provided to the Board from the applicant and the Agency within
    the initial appeal period.
    As the Board maintains its files by docket number only, the Board will reserve docket
    PCB 97-67 for any appeal which may be filed by petitioner; petitioner is directed to use this
    docket number in any future filing concerning this appeal. In the event that petitioner fails to
    file an appeal on or before December 11, 1996 (the 90th day after September 12, 1996), the
    Board will dismiss the docket as unnecessary. A $75.00 filing fee will, of course, be required
    at such time as petitioner files such petition.
    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 _____ day of ___________, 1996, by a vote of
    ______________.
