    ILLINOIS PO~ER
    COOPERATIVE,
    INC.,
    Petitioner,
    v.
    )
    PCB 85—164
    ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL
    PROTECTION AGENCY,
    Respondent.
    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J.D. Dumelle):
    This matter comes before the Board upon
    a December
    19, 1985
    motion for continuance filed
    on behalf of
    the western Illinois
    Power Cooperative,
    Inc.
    (Western).
    Western
    indicates that
    it
    is
    “engaged
    in obtaining additional
    engineering studies”
    and that
    it
    has filed
    a
    rulemaking petition
    (R85—26),
    the resolution of which
    could moot this permit appeal proceeding.
    However,
    neither
    of
    those circumstances justifies delaying decision
    in this matter.
    The additional engineering studies, when completed, would not
    be
    admissible
    in this permit appeal proceeding
    in any case since
    they would not have been before
    the Illinois Environmental
    Protection Agency
    at the time of
    its permit decision.
    Further,
    a
    final decision on the regulation may well not be made for
    a year
    or more and may not moot
    this proceeding in any case.
    The motion
    for continuance
    is, therefore,
    denied.
    The Board reiterates an order entered today regarding
    a
    companion variance petition
    (PCB 85—165).
    In that order
    a motion
    to consolidate this matter with PCB 85—165 was denied and the
    parties were ordered “not
    to file jointly captioned pleadings
    before the Board.”
    IT IS
    SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn,
    Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
    Board, h~~i certify that the above Order was adopted on
    the
    _______________
    day
    of
    _____________,
    1986 by
