ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by C.
A. Manning):
On December
23,
1993,
Petitioner,
Weyerhauser
Co.,
filed
a
status report in accordance with the Board’s order of September 23,
1993, that also stayed proceedings in this matter until March 15,
1994.
The Board granted the petitioner a stay pending the decision
of
the Illinois Office
of
State
Fire Marshal
(“OSFM”)
decision
regarding the registration status of the underground storage tank
(“UST”) involved in this proceeding.
There has been an open waiver
filed
in this proceeding and
as
of
the date
of this order,
no
hearing has been held in this matter.
As reported in the petitioner’s status report, the OSFM has
deferred making
a decision in the matter pending the outcome
of
Board
of Education,
Community Consolidated School Dist.
No.
15
v.
Armstead, No.
91 CH 4963, which involves similar issues as in this
matter. Armstead was decided on September 11,
1992 upholding the
arguments made
by the petitioner.
The State
has
appealed the
decision
of the Circuit
Court
in Board
of
Education,
Community
Consolidated School Dist.
No.
15
v.
Armstead,
No.
92—4145
(Iii.
App.
Ct.,
1st Dist.).
Petitioner’s attorney was informed by the
Office
of
the
Clerk
of
the
Illinois
Appellate
Court,
First
District, that all briefs have been submitted but that the case has
not yet been set for oral argument.
The OSFM has stated that it
does not plan
to take action until the Appellate Court rules
in
Armnstead.
Petitioner is directed to file another status report with the
Clerk of the Board and the assigned hearing officer in this case on
or
before
February
18,
1994,
discussing
the
progress
in
this
matter.
The stay in this matter is due to expire on March
15,
1994,
therefore,
the
petitioner
is
also
directed
to
file
the
appropriate motion on or before February 18,
1994 to address the
expiration of the stay.
IT
IS
SO
ORDERED.
