    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by M. Nardulli):
    On July 5,
    1991 the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
    (“Agency”)
    filed both the Permit Record and Motion to Consolidate
    cases
    in this matter.
    The motion seeks to consolidate National
    Steel Corporation’s (“National”) prior permit appeal
    (PCB 90-114)
    with the present permit
    appeal
    (PCB 91-105).
    National
    has not
    responded to the motion.
    The
    Agency
    states
    that
    the two
    permit
    appeals
    should
    be
    consolidated
    before
    the
    Board
    because
    the
    issues
    in
    each
    are
    identical.
    In
    PCB 90-114
    National appealed certain conditions
    imposed in its operating permit.
    While that appeal was pending.,
    a new operating permit was applied for and granted with conditions.
    National appeals the identical conditions
    in the present appeal
    (PCB
    91—105)
    as
    it did
    in the former appeal
    (PCB 90-114).
    The
    Agency
    argues
    that consolidation would
    expedite resolution
    and
    avoid unnecessary and additional expense.
    We agree.
    The Agency’s
    motion
    is therefore granted.
    The matters PCB 90-114 and PCB 91—
    105 are consolidated for appeal before the Board.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
