ORDER OF THE BOARD (by N. McFawn):

On March 24, 1994, Safety-Kleen Corp. (Safety-Kleen) filed a

petition for permit review regarding its Safety-Eleen Service

Center located at 500 Anthony Drive in Urbana, Champaign County.

This matter is accepted for hearing.

The hearing must be scheduled and completed in a timely

manner, consistent with Board practices and the applicable

statutory decision deadline, or the decision deadline as extended

by a waiver (petitioner may file a waiver of the statutory

decision deadline pursuant to 35 Ill. Adiu. Code 101.105). The

Chief Hearing Officer shall assign a hearing officer to conduct

hearings. The Clerk of the Board shall promptly issue

appropriate directions to the assigned hearing officer consistent

with this order.

The assigned hearing officer shall inform the Clerk of the

Board of the time and location of the hearing at least 40 days in

advance of hearing so that public notice of hearing may be

published. After hearing, the hearing officer shall submit an

exhibit list, a ~statement regarding credibility of witnesses and

all actual exhibits to the Board within five days of the hearing.

Any briefing schedule shall provide for final filings as

expeditiously as possible and, in time—limited cases, no later

than 30 days prior to the decision due date, which is the final

regularly scheduled Board meeting date on or before the statutory

or deferred decision deadline. In this case, the statutory

decision deadline is July 22, 1994; therefore the decision due

date is July 21, 1994.

If after appropriate consultation the parties fail to

provide the hearing officer with an acceptable hearing date, or

if after reasonable effort the hearing officer is unable to

consult with the parties, the hearing officer shall unilaterally

set a hearing date in conformance with the schedule above. The

hearing officer and the parties are encouraged to expedite this

proceeding as much as possible. The Board notes that Board rule

35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.102 requires the Agency to file the entire

Agency record of the IDermit application within 14 days of notice

---

of the petition.

This order will not appear in the Board’s opinion volumes.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Dorothy N. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control

Board, hereby certify that the above order was adopted on the
