    On December 28,
    1995, Heritage Environmental Services, Inc.

    located in Lemont, Cook County,
    Illinois.
    This matter is
    accepted for hearing.
    The hearing must be scheduled and completed in a timely
    manner, consistent with Board practices and the applicable
    statutory decision deadline, or the decision deadline as extended
    by a waiver (petitioner may file a waiver of the statutory
    decision deadline pursuant to 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 101.
    105).
    The
    Board will assign a hearing officer to conduct hearings
    consistent with this order,
    and the Clerk of the Board shall
    promptly issue appropriate directions to that assigned hearing
    officer.
    The assigned hearing officer shall inform the Clerk of the
    Board of the time and location of the hearing at least
    40 days in

    After hearing, the hearing officer shall submit an
    exhibit list,
    a statement regarding credibility of witnesses and
    all actual exhibits to the Board within five days of the hearing.

    in time—limited cases,
    no later
    than 30 days prior to the decision due date, which is the final
    regularly scheduled Board meeting date on or before the statutory
    or deferred decision deadline.
    Absent any future waivers of the
    decision deadline, the statutory decision deadline is now April
    26,
    1996
    (120 days from December 28,
    1995); the Board meeting
    immediately preceding the due date is scheduled for April 18,
    1996.
    If after appropriate consultation with the parties, the
    parties fail to provide an acceptable hearing date or if after an
    2
    attempt the hearing officer is unable to consult with the
    parties, the hearing officer shall unilaterally set a hearing
    date in conformance with the schedule above.
    The hearing officer
    and the parties are encouraged to expedite this proceeding as
    much as possible.
    The Board notes that Board rules
    (35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 105.102) rec~uirethe Agency to file the entire Agency record
    of the permit application within
