On January

1993, Roland W. Burns, Attorney General of
the State of Illinois, on behalf of the People of the State of
Illinois and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency filed a
four-count complaint against Archer Daniels Midland with the
Board. The complaint alleges violation of Sections 9(a) and
(b)
of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/9(a) and
5/9(b));
35 Ill.
Adm. Code Sections 201.141, 201.142 and 212.123.
Pursuant to our order of August 11,
1994, the Attorney
General filed a status report on October 11,
1994.
The parties
have been negotiating the settlement of this matter and at this
juncture, the remaining issue involves the amount of the State’s
penalty demand.
The State anticipates final,
internal approval
within the next few weeks. The parties request that the Board
maintain the present status of the matter, and not set this case
for hearing.
Accordingly, the Board hereby accepts the parties’ October
11, 1994 joint status report,
and the parties are directed to
file an additional joint status report with the Board on or
before January
6,
1995.
The parties are free to file a
stipulated settlement agreement in lieu of a status report if one
is negotiated on or before that date.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
