    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
     
    On April 30, 2001, the People of the State of Illinois (People) filed a one-count
    complaint against respondent Norman Sarver (Sarver). The complaint alleges that Sarver
    caused or allowed the construction of a water main without a construction permit in Long
    Creek Township, Macon County, Illinois. This activity was in alleged violation of Sections
    15(a) and 18(a) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/15(a), 18(a) (1998)),
    and the Board’s public water supply regulations at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 602.101(a).
     
    Also on April 30, 2001, the parties filed a stipulation and proposal for settlement,
    accompanied by a motion requesting relief from the hearing requirement of Section 31(c)(1) of
    the Act (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(1) (1998)). Sarver admits the violation alleged in the complaint and
    proposes to pay a $2,000 civil penalty.
     
    Pursuant to Section 31(c)(2) of the Act, the complainant may file with the Board a
    stipulation and proposal for settlement accompanied by a request for relief from the hearing
    requirement. (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(2) (1998)). Unless the Board determines that a hearing is
    needed, the Board is required to publish notice of the stipulation and proposal for settlement and
    request for relief from the hearing requirement.
     
    Accordingly, the Board directs the Clerk of the Board to cause publication of the
    required newspaper notice. Any person may file a written demand for hearing within 21 days
    of the published notice. If a hearing is requested, the Board will deny the parties’ request for
    relief and schedule a hearing.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
