ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by R. C. Flemal):

On November

9,

1992,

Olin Corporation

(Olin)

filed a

petition for hearing to review the denial by the Illinois

Environmental Protection Agency (Agency)

of its RCRA closure plan

permit involving a waste cyanide storage area and waste

ballistics sand storage areas at the East Alton manufacturing

facility.

On December 28,

1993, pursuant to Board order, the

parties filed a joint status report in this proceeding.

The

parties report that they have been actively pursuing settlement

and that they have agreed in principle to coordinate the closure

of the ballistics sand storage units with the RCRA Facility

Investigation planned as part of the facility’s RCRA Part B

permit.

The parties also state that pursuant to settlement

discussions, on September 7,

1993 Olin has submitted to the

Agency a modified closure/post-closure plan for the ballistics

storage areas.

A certificate of clean closure for the waste

cyanide storage area was previously submitted to the Agency.

The

Agency has reviewed the modified closure/post—closure plan and

the parties are continuing to discuss its provisions.

The Agency

is continuing to review the closure certification.

Finally, the

parties state that if an agreement on the closure of each unit is

reached, Olin will move for dismissal of this appeal.

The parties are ordered to file

a status report in this

matter on or before April

7,

1994,

in the event this appeal has

not been dismissed.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
