ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
On July 24, 1996, Illinois Landfill, Inc. filed a motion to strike objector’s objection
and waiver of right to public hearing. On July 31, 1996, the objector (William J. Regan) filed
a response to Illinois Landfill, Inc.’s motion to strike objector’s objection. The Board had
received the objection filed by William J. Regan on July 17, 1994. The objector’s request for
public hearing was not filed within 21 days of publication of notice of the amended petition
and is therefore beyond the time allowed for a request for hearing pursuant to Section 37(a) of
the Environmental Protection Act. However, Section 37 (a) of the Act also provided that a
hearing can be set if the Board “in its discretion, concludes that a hearing would be
advisable.” The hearing officer has already set this matter for hearing and the Board directs
that the hearing be held. The motion to strike is denied.
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 _____ day of ___________, 1996, by a vote of
______________.
