    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Anderson):
    On February 3, 1993, the City of Chester (Chester) filed a
    petition for variance from the 35 Ill. Adin. Code 602.106(a),
    entitled “Restricted Status”, as that rule relates to the limit
    for total trihalomethanes specified in 35 111. Adm. Code
    611.310(c). On that same date, Chester also filed a “motion for
    expedited hearing.”
    In its motion, Chester asserts that the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) has informed its counsel
    that it plans to submit a recommendation in less than thirty
    days. Chester adds that “this information should allow the Board
    to make its decision at the next scheduled meeting.”
    In its variance petition, Chester waived hearing in this
    matter. Accordingly, the Board construes Chester’s “motion for
    expedited hearing” as a motion for expedited decision. The
    Board, however, hereby denies Chester’s request for an expedited
    decision in that Chester has not asserted any special
    circumstances or hardship which would distinguish it from other
    similarly situated petitioners and, in turn, justify an expedited
    decision.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    J. Theodore Meyer dissented.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
    Board, hereby cer~ifythat the above order was adopted on the
