ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by G.T.
Girard):
On April
15,
1996,
the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency)
and
Richard Johnson
(Johnson) filed a joint notice of extension of the 35-day appeal period
pursuant to
Section 40 of the Act,
relating to
a March
11,
1996 Agency correction action
completion report determination.
The Agency requested the extension “to June 9,
1996,
or
any other date not more than a total of 90 days from the date of the Agency’s final
determination”.
P.A.
88-690 (SB 1724) effective January
24,
1995, amends Section 40(c),
which
governs the underground storage tank appeal process,
to provide:
the 35-day period for petitioning for a hearing may be
extended for a period of
time not to exceed 90 days by
written notice provided to the Board from the
applicant and the Agency
within the initial
appeal period.
As
the Board maintains
its
files by docket number only,
the Board will reserve Docket
PCB 96-216 for any appeal which may be filed by Johnson.
In the event that Johnson
fails to
file an appeal
on or before June 9,
1996
(the 90th day after March
11,
1996),
the Board
will
dismiss the docket as unnecessary.
A
$75.00
filing fee will,
of course,
be required at such
time as Johnson files such petition.
IT
IS SO
ORDERED.
