    (J.R. Meyers)
    filed an amended petition for review of an Illinois Environmental
    Protection Agency (“Agency”)
    final reimbursement determination
    from the Underground Storage Tank Fund.
    The Agency issued
    a
    final reimbursement decision on September 4,
    1994, accompanied by
    attachment A which contains the stated reasons for the
    deductions.
    J.R. Meyers filed its original petition on September
    30,
    1994.
    The final determination concerns J.R. Meyers’ facility
    in Zion, Lake County,
    Illinois.
    This matter is accepted for
    hearing.
    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
