On June 2,

1995, Spraying Systems Company

Status Report1 pursuant to the Board’s order of January 11,

1995.

The parties state that they are negotiating settlement of this

permit appeal.

The parties state that they will be meeting

within the next two months to discuss means of resolving this

matter.

SSC has also provided a waiver of the decision deadline

until March 31,

1996.

The Board notes that the parties have filed identical status

reports on August 5,

The parties

stated in their March 21,

1994 status report that they intended

to meet in late April,

This case is now nearly five years

1993 reporting

completion of the RCRA closure work plan for the facility.

The Board accepts the joint status report.

The parties are

ordered to conduct a meeting within 30 days of this order and
