    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C. A. Manning):
    On September 8, 1993, the Knapheide Mfg. Company
    (“Knapheide”) filed a petition for variance relief for its
    facility located in Quincy, Illinois. The Knapheide Company has
    recently received two provisional variances from the Board to
    allow it to move it’s operations from Missouri to Illinois due to
    the Mississippi River flooding. (See PCB 93-141, July 29, 1993,
    and PCB 93—168, September 9, 1993.)
    The Board, on September 9, 1993, entered an order requesting
    Knapheide to amend its petition filed on September 8, 1993, to
    cure certain deficiencies in that filing. The Knapheide Company
    filed an amended petition on September 16, 1993. Knapheide in
    its amended petition has waived its right for a hearing in this
    matter pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 104.124. In addition,
    Knapheide notes that the Agency is not planning to submit a State
    Implementation Plan revision regarding this variance.
    Accordingly the Board will not schedule a hearing in this matter
    unless a hearing request is filed pursuant to Section 37(a) of
    the Illinois Environmental Protection Act (“Act”). The matter is
    held pending an Agency recommendation filed pursuant to 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 104.180(a).
    The Board’s 120 day decision deadline starts upon the filing
    of the amended petition pursuant to Section 38 of the Act.
    Therefore, the decision due date for this matter is January 15,
    1994. The Board notes that it will continue to handle this
    matter expeditiously and respectfully requests that the Agency
    submit its recommendation expeditiously to achieve this end.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
