    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Theodore Meyer):
    On January 18, 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 naming as respondent, Bobak Sausage Company, an Illinois located corporation at
    5275 South Archer, Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. On May 8, 1996 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 Illinois
    Pollution Control Board (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 discre-
    tion, 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 of the Board 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.
