ORDER OF THE BOARD

(by C.

A.

Manning):

On October

18,

1993,

Safety—Kleen filed

a status report

in

accordance with

the Board’s

order

of

September

9,

1993.

The

previous status report filed on September

1,

1993 stated that on

December

11,

1992,

the parties

to this appeal met to discuss a

resolution

of the issues

underlying the above—captioned matter.

During that meeting,

the parties developed

a mutually acceptable

concept as to how to proceed to resolve the appeal issues.

The

report noted that over the past several months,

the parties have

reduced these conceptual understandings to agree

to

language

in

four other closure appeals involving Safety—Kleen facilities,

and

each of these appeals has been voluntarily dismissed.

Safety—Kleen

advised that

the parties

were

now focusing

their

attention on

resolving the instant appeal

in the same manner.

The

present

status

report

states

that

the

parties

have

exchanged comments on a conceptual agreement for resolution.

The

Agency

is

in the process

of

finalizing

and transmitting

those

documents to Safety-Kleen.

Safety-Kleen states that it believes

that this appeal can be resolved within the next forty-five days

and will file further status reports to keep the Board and hearing

officer apprised of the status.

The parties are directed to file an updated status report on

or before December 16,

1993.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
