    ORDER OF THE BOARD:
    On September 27, 1994, the Illinois Attorney General, on
    behalf of the People of the State of Illinois and the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Agency, filed a formal complaint naming
    Dean Foods Company as respondent. On September 27, 1994, the
    parties filed a stipulation and proposal for settlement
    accompanied by a request for relief from the requirements of
    Section 31(a)(l) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) that
    proposed stipulated settlements be presented at public hearing.
    (415 ILCS 5f31(a)(l) (1992).)
    Section 31(a)(2) of the Act provides that whenever a
    complaint has been filed on behalf of the Agency or by the People
    of the State of Illinois, the parties may file with the Board a
    stipulation and proposal for settlement accompanied by a request
    for relief from the requirement of a hearing. The Board is
    required to cause notice of the stipulation, proposal and request
    for relief to be published, unless the Board in its discretion,
    concludes that a hearing is necessary. The notice is required to
    include a statement that any person may file a written demand for
    hearing within 21 days after receiving the notice. If any person
    files a timely written demand for hearing, the Board shall deny
    the request for relief from a hearing and hold a hearing.
    The Board accordingly directs the Clerk to cause publication
    of the required newspaper notice. The Board will reserve ruling
    on the parties’ request until after the statutory 21 days has
    passed.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
