    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by
    J. Anderson):
    On May 3,
    1993,
    The Grigoleit Company (Grigoleit)
    filed a
    status report and a motion to continue.
    On May
    3,
    1993, the
    Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
    (Agency)
    filed its
    status report in this matter.
    The status reports come in
    response to an April
    8,
    1993 Board order directing the parties to
    file status reports with the Board by May
    3,
    1993.
    In its motion, Grigoleit requests the Board to continue this
    matter and require the parties to file a status report on or
    before June 4,
    1993.
    In support of its request, Grigoleit states
    that it and the Agency have been engaged in settlement
    negotiations which would,
    if successful, culminate in the
    settlement of this case as well as the following three cases:
    PCB 90-135, The Gricioleit Company v. Illinois Environmental
    Protection Agency
    PCB 91—157, People of the State of Illinois v.
    The GricToleit Company and PCB 92-23, The Grigoleit Company v.
    Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
    Grigoleit adds that the parties met on April 29,
    1993.
    At
    such time, Grigoleit provided the Agency with confidential
    information in order to clarify certain information that had been
    previously supplied to the Agency.
    It is Grigoleit’s
    understanding that the Agency will evaluate the information and
    respond to Grigoleit with any question it might have.
    Grigoleit
    adds that
    it believes that,
    as a result of the meeting, the
    Agency should have a clearer understanding of Grigoleit’s
    operations so that any possible settlement should proceed
    quickly.
    In its report, the Agency states that, at the April 29,
    1993
    meeting,
    it requested a week to ten days to analyze the
    internally discuss the information submitted to the Agency.
    The
    Agency also recommended the submittal of additional related
    information regarding a specific emission unit at Grigoleit’s
    facility to help clarify the nature of that emission source.

    In light of the above, the Board hereby grants Grigoleit’s
    motion to continue.
    The parties are directed to file status
    reports in this matter.
    Such status reports are to be received
    by the Board no later than June
    4,
    1993.
    The Board notes,
    however, that this is the parties’
    fifth motion to continue this
    matter for the purpose of settlement negotiations.
    We caution
    the parties that it will not continue this matter indefinitely
    and that it expects the parties to expeditiously pursue
    a
    resolution of this case.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
