    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by R.C. Flemal):
    On December 21, 1999, complainant and respondents filed a stipulation and proposal
    for settlement, accompanied by a motion requesting relief from the hearing requirement of
    Section 31(c)(1) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(1) (1998)). The
    Board directs the Clerk of the Board to cause publication of the required newspaper notice for
    the stipulation and proposal for settlement and request for relief from hearing concerning the
    complaint filed by the Illinois Attorney General on behalf of the People of the State of Illinois
    and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
    Pursuant to Section 31(c)(2) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(2) (1998)), the parties may
    file with the Board a stipulation and proposal for settlement accompanied by a request for relief
    from the hearing requirement. Unless the Board determines that a hearing is needed, the Board
    is required to cause notice of the stipulation and proposal for settlement and request for relief.
    Any person may file a written demand for hearing within 21 days after receiving the notice. If
    a hearing is requested, the Board will accordingly deny the request for relief and schedule a
    hearing.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
