ORDER

(by

Manning,

Theodore Meyer,
and
M.
McFawn):
Today,
in
a companion
opinion and, order in
R94-2,
the
Board
granted the
Underground Storage Tank Advisory
Committee’s
(USTAC) June
1,
1994
motion
to
sever
the docket.
By
this
order,
we open
a
subdocket,
R94-2(B),
in this proceeding)
As
we noted
in
the accompanying second
notice opinion
and
order,
USTAC
asked
the
Board
to
sever the docket and
create a
subdocket to
allow more time for the development of
objective, risk-based
soil
remediation numbers and/or a
matrix.
The
Board granted
that
motion,
and this
subdocket is
hereby established
in
order
to develop risk-based
soil
remediation cleanup
objectives.
We will also entertain issues
of further site-specific
classification
and
risk analysis
based on
groundwater
and
its potential
uses;
the
standard
“No
Further
Remediation” letter;
and
the concern
raised
by
the Illinois Department of
Transportation
regarding the placement of monitoring wells.
Additionally, the
Board
will
consider any other issues necessary
to
the promulgation of a clear and
complete rule.
However, the Board
does not intend
to
reconsider issues
which
we have
already
resolved,
unless
necessitated by
an
intervening statutory
change.
The
Board
recognizes
that
the issues
in
this docket R94-2(B) must
be
resolved
as
quickly
as possible,
and we will
proceed
as
expeditiously as possible
with
this
portion
of the
rulemaking.
Further direction on
the progress of the rulemaking, including
a
hearing
schedule
and
the opportunity
for interested persons
to
submit proposed
rules,
will be
set
forth
in
a
hearing officer order to be
issued
shortly.
IT
IS
SO
ORDERED.
The
underlying docket,
which
is
sent
to
second
notice today,
will
now
be
known as
R94-2(A).
The entire
record of R94-2(A)
is
hereby
incorporated into
this
docket B.
