ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by C.A. Manning):
On November 30,
1993, Twomey Company
(Twomey) filed a motion
to file a status report instanter accompanied by a status report.
The Board hereby grants the motion to file instanter and accepts
the status report.
The
status
report
indicates
that Twomey
and
the
Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) have been negotiating and
anticipate entering into a settlement agreement sometime before the
end of the year.
The status report
further states that once
a
settlement has been reached, Twomey will file a motion to dismiss
the appeal subject to “reopener” in the event that the Agency fails
to reimburse Twomey.
The Board directs Twomey’s attention to Legg and
Sons Oil
Company
v.
IEPA,
(PCB 92-214) and
DJM
Oil Company, Inc.
v.
IEPA,
(PCB
92-163)
in
which
today,
the Board
is
issuing two orders
accepting status reports.
The status reports filed by the parties
in Leqg and Sons and
DJM
Oil indicate that the petitions for review
of the Agency’s UST reimbursement determination will be voluntarily
withdrawn upon receipt of the agreed-upon payment from the Agency
pursuant to settlement agreements executed
in those cases.
(See
Israel-Gerrold’s v. IEPA (April 9, 1992), PCB 91-108
(a voluntarily
dismissal of
an
appeal would
bar petitioner’s right to further
challenge the subject of that appeal) and see also Grand Soo, Inc.
v. IEPA (December 6,
1991), PCB 91—191.)
Accordingly,
the
Board
directs
the
parties
to
file
an
additional
status report
on or before January
3,
1994,
if this
matter is not dismissed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
