    HEARING
    OFFICER ORDER
    On February 17,
    2005, the Board proceeded to first notice with a proposal in this
    rulemaking.
    In the first-notice opinion, the Board asked forcomment on several issues and
    indicated that additional hearings may be held if requested.
    The Board asked that any request for
    a hearing delineate the issues the requester believed should be addressed at the hearing.
    The Board received several individual requests for hearings as well as a request from
    Professionals ofIllinois
    forthe Protection ofthe Environment (PIPE).
    The Illinois
    Environmental Agency (Agency) however indicated its beliefthat additional hearings are not
    warranted.
    The individuals asked for an additional hearing and asked that the hearing be held in
    southern Illinois.
    PIPE asked for an additional hearing and asked that PIPE be allowed to prefile
    questions for the Agency.
    Based on the requests, I find that additional hearings are warranted
    and an additional hearing will be held in this matter.
    Further, the hearing will take place in
    Carbondale, Marion, or Mt.
    Vernon.
    However, before the hearing is scheduled, I will allow for
    the prefiling ofquestions to the parties and the prefihing ofanswers.
    Any objections to questions
    posed can be fully set out in the prefiled answers.
    In addition the parties should
    indicate dates in
    June and July when the parties are
    unavailable
    for hearings.
    Prefiled question should be filed by May 4, 2005, and the mailbox rule does not apply.
    Prefiled answers should be filed by May 18,
    2005, and the mailbox rule does not apply.
