    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by N.J. Melas):
    On January 5, 2001, the People of the State of Illinois filed a four-count complaint
    against the City of Waukegan (Waukegan). The complaint alleges Waukegan caused or
    allowed water pollution, operated without a malfunction contingency measure, caused a
    sanitary sewer overflow and bypass, and discharged water pollution without a permit at its
    facility located at 4200 West McGaw Road, Waukegan, Lake County, Illinois. These activities
    were in alleged violation of Sections 12(a), 12(c), and 12(f) of the Environmental Protection
    Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/12(a), 12(c), 12(f) (1998)) and the Board’s water pollution regulations
    at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 304.141(b), 306.102(a), 306.304, 306.305(c), and 309.102(a). The
    Board accepts this matter for hearing.
    The Board directs that this matter proceed to hearing as expeditiously as practicable.
    The assigned hearing officer must set the matter for hearing in accordance with the
    requirements of the Act and the Board’s procedural rules. Accordingly, this matter must be set
    for hearing within 90 days after the filing of the complaint unless the hearing officer, after
    appropriate consultation with the parties, determines that a later date is appropriate and that no
    undue delay or material prejudice in the resolution of this matter would result. See 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 103.212(c) (effective January 1, 2001). In any event, it is the responsibility of the
    hearing officer to guide the parties toward prompt resolution or adjudication of this matter,
    through whatever status calls and hearing officer orders he determines are necessary and
    appropriate.
    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 18th day of January 2001 by a vote of 7-0.
