    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by E.Z. Kezelis):
    Between July 28, 1999 and January 18, 2000, Sangamon County filed the above captioned administrative
    citations against ESG Watts, Inc. (ESG) for violations allegedly occurring between June 4, 1999, and December 2,
    1999. ESG has filed petitions for review in all 37 cases. The Board today accepts for hearing the three most recently-
    2
    2
    filed petitions, AC 00-64, AC 00-65, and AC 00-66; the Board has previously accepted for hearing the 34 earlier-filed
    petitions for review.
    Although all of the alleged violations occurred on different dates, each administrative citation alleges that
    ESG violated the same three prohibitions contained in Sections 21(o)(5), (6), and (9) of the Environmental Protection
    Act at the same Sangamon County facility. 415 ILCS 5/21(o)(5), (6), (9) (1998).
    In the interest of convenience and economy the Board on its own motion hereby consolidates, for purposes
    of hearing, all 37 of the currently pending administrative citations pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.141. The Board
    makes no determination as to whether these cases will be consolidated for purposes of final decision. The hearing
    officer is directed to proceed to hearing in these consolidated matters.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that the above order was
    adopted on the 2nd day of March 2000 by a vote of 6-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
