ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
On February 8, 1994, Central Illinois Public Service Company
(“CIPS”) filed a petition for NPDES permit review regarding the
Coffeen Power Station, located in Montgomery 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 (petitioner may file a waiver of the statutory
decision deadline pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.105). The
Chief Hearing Officer shall assign a hearing officer to conduct
hearings. The Clerk of the Board shall promptly issue appropriate
directions to the assigned hearing officer consistent with this
order.
The assigned hearing officer shall inform the Clerk of the
Board of the time and location of the hearing at least 40 days in
advance of hearing so that public notice of hearing may be
published. After hearing, the hearing officer shall submit an
exhibit list, a statement regarding credibility of witnesses and
all actual exhibits to the Board within five days of the hearing.
Any briefing schedule shall provide for final filings as
expeditiously as possible and, in time-limited cases, no later
than 30 days prior to the decision due date, which is the final
regularly scheduled Board meeting date on or before the statutory
or deferred decision deadline. In this case, the statutory
decision deadline is June 8, 1994; therefore the decision due date
is June 2, 1994.
If after appropriate consultation with the parties, the
parties fail to provide an acceptable hearing date or if after an
attempt the hearing officer is unable to consult with the parties,
the hearing officer shall unilaterally set a hearing date in
conformance with the schedule above. The hearing officer and the
parties are encouraged to expedite this proceeding as much as
possible. The Board notes that Board rules (35 Ill. Adin. Code
2
105.102) reauire the Agency to file the entire Agency record of the
permit application within 14 days of notice of the petition.
This order will not appear in the Board’s opinion volumes.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
