    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by C.A. Manning):
    On November 4,
    1991,
    Olin Corporation
    (“Olin”) and the
    United States Department of Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service
    (“DOl”)
    filed a petition for hearing to review certain terms and
    conditions contained in modifications made by the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Agency (“Agency”)
    of a RCRA Part B
    Permit for the storage of hazardous waste in containers
    in six
    magazines located in the southern portion of “Ordill Area 13” of
    the Crab Orchard National Wildlife Refuge,
    owned by DOl.
    The
    hazardous waste storage facility is currently operating under
    interim status authority pursuant to 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code Section
    703.150 and 40 C.F.R.
    Section 270.5(e).
    On December 29,
    1993,
    Olin,
    DOl and the Agency jointly
    submitted a status report pursuant to Board order of September
    23,
    1993.
    On January
    6,
    1994,
    the Board accepted the status
    report and further requested that Olin and DOl file a statutory
    deadline waiver in this case,
    or it would
    be set for hearing.
    On January 13,
    1994, the Board received a waiver until January
    1,
    1995.
    As was stated in our January 6th order,
    we indicated we
    would re—establish a status report schedule upon receipt of the
    waiver.
    Accordingly, the parties were directed to file a status
    report in this matter on or before April
    14,
    1994.
    The parties
    filed said status report and the Board issued an order on April
    21,
    1994 requesting another status report to be filed on or
    before August 26,
    1994.
    The parties filed pursuant to the April order their status
    report on August
    29,
    1994.
    This latest status report states that
    the negotiations are still ongoing yet the parties have reached a
    tentative agreement resolving the issues in dispute.
    The parties
    state that the Agency is currently drafting a Part B permit for
    the facility and that the anticipated issuance of the Part B
    permit
    will lead to the dismissal of this appeal.
    The status
    report does not state
    an expected date of issuance of the Part B
    permit or the dismissal of this appeal.
    2
    The Board accepts the status report.
    The decision due date
    in this matter is January
    1,
    1995.
    The Board is unwilling to
    grant any further stays or continuance
    in this matter without an
    additional waiver of the decision due date.
    The Board will set
    this matter for hearing at the October
    6,
    1994 meeting unless an
    extension of the decision due date is received prior to that
    date.
    If a waiver is received prior to that date the Board will
    re—establish a status report schedule.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.

    Board, hereby~çertifythat the above order was adopted on the
    ,5zZ
