    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by K.M. Hennessey):
    On May 29, 1996, 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 respondent Parmarco, Inc., a Maryland corporation located at First and Waters
    Streets, Batavia, Kane County, Illinois. On April 14, 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(c)(1) (P.A. 89-596, eff. August 1, 1996).)
    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(c)(2) (P.A. 89-596, eff. August 1, 1996).) 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 request until after the
    statutory 21 days have passed.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
