(UST - Appeal
Ninety -Day Extension)
ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
On November 1, 1996 the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) and
General Motors Corporation (petitioner) filed a joint notice of extension of the 35-day appeal
period pursuant to Section 40 of the Environmental Protection Act, relating to the September
25, 1996 Agency determination. The Agency requested the extension "to December 24, 1996,
or any other date not more than a total of 90 days from the date of the Agency's final
determination."
P.A. 88-690 (SB1724) effective January 24, 1995 amends Section 40(a), which governs
the permit appeal process, to provide:
the 35-day period for petitioning for a hearing may be extended
for a period of time not to exceed 90 days by written notice
provided to the Board from the applicant and the Agency within
the initial appeal period.
As the Board maintains its files by docket number only, the Board will reserve docket
PCB 97-83 for any appeal which may be filed by petitioner; petitioner is directed to use this
docket number in any future filing concerning this appeal. In the event that petitioner fails to
file an appeal on or before December 24, 1996 (the 90th day after September 25, 1996), the
Board will dismiss the docket as unnecessary. A $75.00 filing fee will, of course, be required
at such time as petitioner files such petition.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
