    ORDER OF THE BOARD:
    On October 19, 1995, the County of Kane, Illinois and Waste
    Management of Illinois, Inc., filed a petition for permit review
    regarding the Settler’s Hill facility, located at 1031 East
    Fabyan Parkway, Kane County, Illinois. This matter is accepted
    for hearing. Additionally, on October 25, 1995, the City of
    Geneva filed a petition to intervene in this case; however, as
    the time in which to file a response has not yet expired, the
    Board will reserve ruling on Geneva’s petition. An order will be
    forthcoming at a Board meeting in the near future.
    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
    advance of hearing so that public notice of hearing may be
    published. 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.
    Any briefing schedule shall provide for final filings as
    expeditiously as possible and, 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
    February 16, 1996 (120 days from October 19, 1995); the Board
    meeting immediately preceding the due date is scheduled for
    December 21, 1995.
    2
    If after appropriate consultation with the parties, the
    parties fail to provide an acceptable hearing date or if after an
    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) require the Agency to file the entire AQency record
    of the permit application within 14 days of notice of the
    petition.
    This order will not appear in the Board’s opinion volumes.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
