 matter
 and
 require

 In

engage in settlement negotiations which would, if successful,
culminate
 in the settlement of this
 case

 1992,
 and
 that
 the
 Agency
provided
 its
 written response to Grigoleit’s proposal on

 that

 We note that,

 status

 of

 1992,
 it stated that it believed that
the
 appeal
 of
PCB 89-184 before the Fourth District
 Appellate
Court
 (No. 4—92—

from
 Grigoleit as to whether
this
 is still the situation.
In
 light
 of
 the above, the Board grants Grigoleit’s motion
to continue.
 Accordingly, the Board will reserve ruling on
Grigoleit’s September
 3,
 1992
 motion for reconsideration that is
currently pending in this case.
