On November 4, 1998, the Illinois Attorney General and James Patton d/b/a A & J
Manufacturing, filed a stipulation and proposal for settlement, accompanied by a motion
requesting relief from the hearing requirement of Section 31(c)(2) of the Environmental
Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(2) (1996)). The Board directs the Clerk of the Board
to cause publication of the required newspaper notice for the stipulation and proposal for
settlement and request for relief from hearing concerning the complaint filed by the Illinois
Attorney General on behalf of the People of the State of Illinois and the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency.
Pursuant to Section 31(c)(2) of the Act, the parties may file with the Board a stipulation

Unless the Board determines that a hearing is needed, the Board is required to cause notice of
the stipulation and proposal for settlement and request for relief. Any person may file a
written demand for hearing within 21 days after receiving the notice. If a hearing is requested,
the Board will accordingly deny the parties’ request for relief and schedule a hearing.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
the above order was adopted on the 19th day of November 1998 by a vote of 7-0.
