    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Yi):
    On September 16, 1996, the Illinois Attorney General, on behalf of the People of the
    State of Illinois and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency), filed a formal
    complaint pursuant to Section 31 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) naming as
    respondent Precision Chrome, Inc. (Precision), an Illinois corporation located at 105 Precision
    Road, Fox Lake, Lake County, Illinois. (415 ILCS 5/31.) The six (6) count complaint alleges
    that Precision failed to perform a hazardous waste determination in violation of 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 722.111 and Section 21(f)(2) of the Act; failed to obtain a United States Environmental
    Protection Agency (USEPA) identification number prior to offering waste for transportation in
    violation of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.112 and Section 21(f)(2) of the Act; failed to prepare an
    annual report for the waste chrome solution prior to offering the solution for off-site
    transportation in violation of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.141(a) and Section 21(f)(2) of the Act;
    failed to prepare manifests for the waste chrome solution prior to offering the solution for off-
    site transportation in violation of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 722.120 and Section 21(f)(2) of the Act;
    operated a hazardous waste surface impoundment without a Resource Conversation and
    Recovery Act (RCRA) permit in violation of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 703.121(a) and Section
    21(f)(2) of the Act; and failed to implement a groundwater monitoring program while
    operating a surface impoundment in violation of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.190(a) and (b) and
    Section 21 (f)(2) of the Act. (415 ILCS 5/21(f)(2).)
    On September 24, 1996 the parties filed a joint motion for extension of time to answer
    or otherwise plead until November 15, 1996. The parties state that they believe that the issues
    presented in the complaint can best be resolved through a negotiated settlement. The Board
    grants the motion for an extension of time until November 15, 1996. The respondent is
    directed to file its answer or pleading or any other appropriate motion on or before November
    15, 1996.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    Board Member K. Hennessey abstained.
