    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by K.M. Hennessey):
    On October 11, 1994, the Illinois Attorney General, on behalf of the People of the
    State of Illinois and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency), filed a formal
    complaint naming as respondents Grayslake Gelatin Company, Blidco, Inc., Acme
    Construction Co., Inc., all located at 40 Railroad Avenue, Grayslake, Lake County, Illinois
    and Diversified Abatement Contractors, Inc. located at 1616 Belvidere Road, Waukegan, Lake
    County, Illinois. On March 11, 1997, the parties filed a stipulation and proposal for
    settlement accompanied by a request for relief from the requirement of Section 31(c)(1) of the
    Environmental Protection Act (Act) that proposed stipulated settlements be presented at public
    hearing. (415 ILCS 5/31(a)(1)(1994).)
    Section 31(c)(2) of the Act provides that whenever a complaint has been filed on behalf
    of the Agency or by the People of the State of Illinois, the parties may file with the Board a
    stipulation and proposal for settlement accompanied by a request for relief from the
    requirement of a hearing. (415 ILCS 5/31(a)(2) (1994).) The Board is required to cause
    notice of the stipulation, proposal and request for relief to be published, unless the Board, in
    its discretion, concludes that a hearing is necessary. The notice is required to include a
    statement that any person may file a written demand for hearing within 21 days after receiving
    the notice. If any person files a timely written demand for hearing, the Board will deny the
    request for relief from a hearing and hold a hearing.
    The Board accordingly directs the Clerk of the Board to cause publication of the
    required newspaper notice. The Board will reserve ruling on the parties’ request until after the
    statutory 21 days has passed.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
