    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Theodore Meyer):
    On October 2, 1996 the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) and
    respondent Orville Bartels (Bartels) filed a joint stipulation of settlement and motion to dismiss
    the petition for review. The parties reached a settlement agreement wherein Bartels admitted
    to one count of causing or allowing litter in violation of Section 21(p)(1) of the Environmental
    Protection Act. The proposed settlement stated that Bartels agreed to pay the statutory penalty
    of $500 in full on or before September 20, 1996. On October 3, 1996 the Board accepted the
    stipulated settlement agreement proposed by the parties and directed Bartels to pay such
    penalty on or before, September 20, 1996.
    On October 23, 1996 the Agency filed a Motion to Extend the Respondent’s Time to
    Pay, stating that it was the parties’ original intention to allow Bartels until September 20, 1997
    to pay the statutory penalty. The Board grants the Agency’s motion, and amends its prior
    order to reflect that Bartels is directed to pay such penalty on or before September 20, 1997.
