    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by M. McFawn):
    On December 16, 1999, complainant filed a stipulation and proposal for settlement,
    accompanied by an agreed motion requesting relief from the hearing requirement imposed by
    Section 31(c)(1) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(1) (1998)).
    Section 31(c)(2) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/32(c)(2) (1998)) specifically authorizes such filings by
    the parties to an enforcement action.
    Unless the Board determines that a hearing is necessary, the Board is required to cause
    notice of the stipulation and proposal for settlement and request for relief to be published in a
    newspaper of general circulation in the county in which the alleged violation occurred. The
    Board hereby directs the Clerk of the Board to cause publication of the required newspaper
    notice.
    In accordance with Section 31(c)(2), any person may file a written demand for hearing
    within 21 days after publication of the notice. If a hearing is requested, the Board will deny the
    parties’ request for relief and schedule a hearing.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
    the above order was adopted on the 6th day of January 2000 by a vote of 6-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
