    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by N.J. Melas):
     
    On September 18, 2001, the People of the State of Illinois filed a three-count complaint
    against respondents City of Golconda; Brown, Roffman & Roberts; and Forby Excavating, Inc.
    The complaint alleges respondents failed to maintain the required physical separation between a
    water main and a sewer system in Golconda, Pope County, Illinois. These activities were in
    alleged violation of Section 18 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/18
    (2000)), Sections 601.101 and 607.104(b) of the Board’s regulations (35 Ill. Adm. Code 601.101
    and 607.104(b)), and Section 653.119 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s
    regulations (35 Ill. Adm. Code 653.119). 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. 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, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on October 4, 2001, by a vote of 7-0.
