    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by M. McFawn):
     
    On April 11, 2001, Premcor Refining Group, Inc. (PRG), filed a petition for review of
    an Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
    (Agency)
    determination regarding petitioner’s
    application for costs associated with the implementation of a high priority corrective action
    plan associated with underground storage tank remediation expenses. The petitioner allegedly
    incurred such expenses at its facility located at 6101 South Cass Avenue, DuPage County,
    Westmont, Illinois. PRG’s petition did not contain a notice of filing or a proof of service on
    the Agency.
     
     
    On April 19, 2001, the Board entered an order directing PRG to file an amended
    petition showing proof of service of the petition for review on the Agency and an appearance
    by an attorney on or before May 24, 2001, or the petition will be subject to dismissal. On
    May 14, 2001, PRG filed an amended petition with an attached certificate of service
    demonstrating service upon the Agency attorney or record in this matter. PRG also filed an
    appearance for its counsel.
     
     
    The Board accepts this matter for hearing. The Board’s rules require that the Agency
    file its entire record within 30 days of notice of the petition. See 35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.116.
    Hearings must be scheduled and completed in a timely manner, pursuant to the applicable
    statutory decision deadline, or the deadline as extended by waiver. See 35 Ill. Adm. Code.
    101.308, 105.114.
     
    Absent any future waivers of the decision deadline, the statutory decision deadline is
    now September 9, 2001 (120 days from May 14, 2001); the Board meeting immediately
    preceding the decision deadline is scheduled for September 6, 2001.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
