ORDER OF THE BOARD:

On April 7, 1994, Safety-Kleen Corp., filed a petition for

permit review of its Supplemental Generic Waste Stream Permit

regarding its Caseyville facility, located in St. Clair 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. Adm. 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 August 5, 1994; therefore the decision due

date is July 21, 1994.

If after appropriate consultation with the parties, the

parties fail to provide an acceptable hearing date or if after an

attempt 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 rules (35 Ill. Adrn. Code

---

105.102) reauire the A~encvto file the entire Agency record of the

permit a~p1icationwithin 14 days of notice of the petition.

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