    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by C.A. Manning):
    On January
    19,
    1993, the U.S. Department of the Army
    (Department),
    filed an amended petition for review of the
    Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s (Agency) denial of its
    Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
    (RCRA)
    Part B permit.
    The
    Department filed a waiver of the statutory decision deadline on
    January 26,
    1993.
    The Department’s most recent status report
    filed on July 14,
    1994,
    stated that it was attempting to resolve
    the matter without proceeding to hearing and that upon Agency
    approval of
    a closure plan for the facility it would withdraw its
    permit appeal petition.
    Based on this status report,
    on July 21,
    1994, the Board directed the parties to file individually or
    jointly an updated status report on or before September
    9,
    1994
    if the Department’s motion to withdraw this permit appeal was not
    received.
    On October
    6,
    1994, the Board directed the parties to file
    an updated status report or a motion to withdraw the permit
    appeal on or before October 28,
    1994.
    On October
    31,
    1994 the
    Board received an updated status report from the Department.
    This status report states that the Agency has approved its
    closure plan and the Department is in the process of closing its
    facility.
    However, the Department states that due to contracting
    problems final closure is not expected for another 90 to 120
    days.
    Finally, the status report concludes by stating that once
    final closure is completed the Department will withdraw its
    appeal.
    The parties are directed to file an updated status report,
    jointly or individually,
    on or before February 3,
    1995.
    If in
    the event that final closure is completed before February 3,
    1995, the Department shall file the appropriate motion at that
    time.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
