INTERIM
ORDER
OF THE
BOARD
(by J. Theodore
Meyer):
On January 18, 1984 the Board received a Stipulation signed
by both parties in this matter.
To date, no hearing has been
scheduled or held.
Section 31(b) of the Environmental Protection
Act
(Ill.
Rev. Stat. 1981,
ch. 111½, par. 1031(b)
mandates that
the
Board
schedule public hearings in enforcement cases.
Based
on this, Part 103 of the Board’s procedural rules provides that a
hearing be scheduled and held, even if the parties wish to settle.
Specifically, Subpart E of that Part sets out the procedures for
settling a case pending before the Board.
The
parties in this case are ordered to proceed to a hearing
scheduled by the Hearing Officer.
At such hearing, the parties
arc free to present a stipulation.
However, such an agreement
must be in accordance with Sections 9 and 10 of the Act, and Part
237:
(~enBurning of the Board’s rules.
As the Stipulation
is
currently written, it appears that the Respondent would be allowed
to act in contravention of Section 237.120 and Section 237.102.
The Board cautions the parties that a Stipulation so framed would
be unacceptable.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I, Christan
L.

Contro~Board hereby certify that the above Order
