    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G. T. Girard):
    On August 2, 1995, the Illinois Attorney General, on behalf
    of the People of the State of Illinois and the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Agency, filed a formal complaint naming
    Terminal Railroad Association of St. Louis, a foreign
    corporation, as respondent. On November 1, 1995, the parties
    filed a stipulation and proposal for settlement accompanied by a
    request for relief from the requirements of Section 31(a)(1) of
    the Environmental Protection Act (Act) that proposed stipulated
    settlements be presented at public hearing. (415 ILCS 5/31(a)(1)
    (1994).)
    Section 31(a)(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. 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 shall
    deny the request for relief from a hearing and hold a hearing.
    The Board accordingly directs the Clerk 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.
