ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by M.

McFawn):

On January 13,

1994,

Pekin filed

a motion for a 120-day

extension of the briefing schedule in each of two permit appeals,

PCB 92—212 and PCB 93—1.

In each case, the briefing schedule had

been previously extended 60 days by Board orders of

August

5,

1993,

September 23,

1993,

and November 18,

1993.

The

instant requests were accompanied by 120—day waivers of the

decision deadlines,

i.e., until November 28,

1994.

The Illinois

Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) has not filed a

response.

As grounds for each of the prior three extensions, Pekin

assured the Board that settlement negotiations were ongoing

between Pekin, the intended purchaser of the landfill, the

Agency and the Office of the Attorney General and that,

if

successful,

settlement would result in dismissal of the two

pending permit appeals.

In its November motion, Pekin informed

the Board that the parties had reached agreement on all

substantive issues,

but the Office of the Attorney General was

still drafting the proposed consent order.

Pekin now states that since the Board’s order of November

18,

1993, the parties have negotiated and agreed upon the

language of the consent order and they are currently awaiting

final approval from the Office of the Attorney General.

The motion for extension is granted.

Petitioner’s closing

brief is now due on or before May 12,

1994.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
