    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by M. McFawn):
    On December 16, 1998, the People of the State of Illinois and the City of Chester filed
    a stipulation and proposal for settlement, accompanied by a motion requesting relief from the
    hearing requirement of Section 31(c)(2) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS
    5/31(c)(2) (1996)). The Board directs the Clerk of the Board to cause publication of the
    required newspaper notice for the stipulation and proposal for settlement and request for relief
    from hearing concerning the complaint filed by the Illinois Attorney General on behalf of the
    People of the State of Illinois and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
    Pursuant to Section 31(c)(2) of the Act, the parties may file with the Board a stipulation
    and proposal for settlement accompanied by a request for relief from the hearing requirement.
    Unless the Board determines that a hearing is needed, the Board is required to cause notice of
    the stipulation and proposal for settlement and request for relief. Any person may file a
    written demand for hearing within 21 days after receiving the notice. If a hearing is requested,
    the Board will accordingly deny the parties’ request for relief and schedule a hearing.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
    the above order was adopted on the 7th day of January 1999 by a vote of 5-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
