ORDER OF THE BOARD (by R.C. Flemal):
On April 24, 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 a respondent AlliedSignal, Inc., a Delaware corporation regarding its facility located
at 2951 J. David Jones Parkway, Springfield, Sangamon County, Illinois. On May 8, 1997,
the parties filed a stipulation and proposal for settlement accompanied by a request for relief
from the requirement of Section 31(c)(2) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) that
proposed stipulated settlements be presented at public hearing. (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(2) (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 parties’ request until after the
statutory 21 days has passed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Board Member K.M. Hennessey abstained.
