    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J. Theodore Meyer):
    On June 30,
    1994, petitioner
    CWM
    Chemical Services,
    Inc.
    (CWM)
    and respondents the Illinois Environmental Protection
    Agency
    (Agency)
    and the People of the State of Illinois
    (collectively, respondents) filed separate status reports in this
    proceeding.
    The status reports are in response to the Board’s
    April
    23,
    1992 order staying this permit appeal.
    As part of that
    stay, the Board ordered
    CWM
    to file a status report every 90
    days.
    The status reports recount the progress being made by CWM
    and the Agency on the Agency’s review of CWM’s November 1991 RCRA
    Part B permit application.
    CWN
    states that the Agency has
    approved
    CWM’s
    closure certification for four hazardous waste
    surface impoundments, and has
    approved the interim status
    closure/post closure plan.
    CWN
    further states that it has
    recently entered into a letter of intent with another company,
    and is in the process of negotiating an agreement to transfer
    some assets at the facility to the other company.
    CWM
    understands that this prospective purchaser intends to use the
    facility for waste storage and handling only, and does not intend
    to restart the incinerator.
    CWM
    is optimistic that the
    transaction can be finalized within 120 days, and asks that the
    stay remain in effect.
    Respondents confirm that they have been
    involved in discussions with both
    CWM
    and the prospective buyer,
    and that the prospective purchaser has stated that it will not
    seek to restart the incinerator at any time in the future.
    Because it appears that this case is close to resolution,
    the Board accepts the status reports.
    The Board reminds
    CWN
    that
    it has a continuing obligation to submit status reports every 90
    days.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
