    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by M. McFawn, E.Z. Kezelis, and N.J. Melas):
    On January 12, 2001, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) filed a
    rulemaking proposal pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 102.200 and 102.202 of the Board’s
    procedural rules. The proposed rulemaking would update and clarify the Site Remediation
    Program (SRP), adopted by the Board in In the Matter of: Site Remediation Program
    (Brownfields) and Groundwater Quality (35 Ill. Adm. Code 740 and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 620)

    up sites where contaminants are present. The amendments are based on the experience gained
    by the Agency in administering the rules for over three years.
    The Board finds that the petition meets the minimum requirements of 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 102.202 and accordingly accepts this proposal for hearing. The Board directs the
    hearing officer assigned to this matter to schedule hearings as required pursuant to Title VII of
    the Illinois Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/1
    et seq
    . (1998)).
    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 18th day of January 2001 by a vote of 7-0.
