ORDER OF THE BOARD (by M. McFawn):
This enforcement proceeding was commenced on May 2, 2000, by the filing of a four-
count complaint by the People of the State of Illinois. The complaint alleges violations of
several provisions of the Environmental Protection Act, 415 ILCS 5 (1998), and its
implementing regulations by respondent’s activities at its facility in Moline, Illinois. The Board
accepts this case for hearing.
The Board directs that this matter proceed to hearing as expeditiously as practicable. In
accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.125(a), this matter must be set for hearing within 90
days after the filing of the complaint unless the Board orders otherwise; however, the Board
hereby authorizes the hearing officer, after appropriate consultation with the parties, to set a
later hearing date if he determines that a later date is appropriate and that no undue delay or
material prejudice in the resolution of this matter would result. In any event, it is the
responsibility of the hearing officer to guide the parties toward prompt resolution or
adjudication of this matter, by issuing any necessary and appropriate hearing officer orders.
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 18th day of May 2000 by a vote of 6-0.
Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
Illinois Pollution Control Board
