ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by J.
Theodore Meyer):
On March 24,
1995, petitioner
CWM
Chemical Services,
Inc.
(CWM)
filed its status report
in this proceeding.
The status report recounts the progress being made by
CWN
on the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s
(Agency) review
of CWN’s November 1991 RCRA Part B permit application.
CWM
is
continuing the negotiations with Clean Harbors of Chicago
(CHCI)
for an agreement to transfer some assets at the facility to CHCI,
and entered into a letter of intent with CHCI.
On January 11,
1995, the Agency conducted a semi-annual RCRA inspection of the
CWM
facility, and reported no observed violations.
A CHCI
contractor began decontaminating the
CWM
shredder system in March
1995.
The primary shredder system will be shipped off-site to
CHCI’s Nebraska facility pursuant to an approved plan by Regions
V and VII of the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
CHCI has also constructed a tank farm,
concrete off—loading
pads and fire suppression system pursuant to the Temporary
Authorization granted by the Agency.
On March
15,
1995, the
Agency issued a draft Part B RCRA permit to CHCI.
A public
meeting is scheduled for May 3,
1995 at Olive Harvey College, and
the connuent period will close June 3,
1995.
CWM
requests that
this appeal and the April 20,
1992 stipulation remain pending
until the transaction with CHCI
is closed.
If the transaction
takes place,
CWM
will dismiss the appeal.
Because it appears that this case is close to resolution,
the Board accepts the status report.
CWM
is directed to file an
updated status report with the Board no later than June 30,
1995.
The Board notes that the Agency failed to file a status report as
ordered and directs the Agency to also file a status report,
either jointly or separately, no later than June 30,
1995.
