    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J. Anderson):
    On March 24,
    1993, The People of the State of Illinois
    (People)
    filed a joint status report in response to the Board’s
    February 25,
    1993 order and a motion to continue.
    In its
    February 25,
    1993 order, the Board directed the parties to file
    status reports with the Board by March 16,
    1993.
    In its motion,
    the People request the Board to continue this
    matter and require the parties to file a status report on or
    before May
    3,
    1993.
    In support of its request, the People state
    that they and The Grigoleit Company
    (Grigoleit) have continued
    settlement negotiations which would,
    if successful, culminate in
    the settlement of this case as well as the following three cases:
    PCB 90-135, The Gricroleit Company v. Illinois Environmental
    Protection Acrency PCB 91-157, People of the State of Illinois v.
    The Grigoleit Company
    and PCB 92-23, The Grigoleit Company v.
    Illinois Environmental Protection Acrency.
    The People add that,
    in addition to the settlement
    discussions set forth in the parties’ February 16,
    1993 status
    report, the State has provided Grigoleit with written responses
    to the settlement proposal on February 19 and 25,
    1993, and on
    March
    15,
    1993.
    On February 25,
    1993, Grigoleit replied to the
    Agency’s February 19,
    1993 response.
    Because of difficulties in
    coordinating schedules,
    the parties have been unable to meet in
    person to further their discussions.
    The parties are now trying
    to schedule such a meeting for the first week of April.
    At the outset,
    the Board notes that the status report was
    not accompanied by a motion to file instanter.
    The Board also
    notes that this is the parties’ third motion to continue this
    matter for the purpose of settlement negotiations.
    In the
    interests of administrative economy, however, the Board accepts
    the status report and grants the motion to continue.
    The Board
    cautions the parties, however, that it will not continue this
    matter indefinitely and that it expects the parties to
    expeditiously pursue a resolution of this case.
    The parties are
    directed to file status reports in this matter.
    Such status
    OLi~.O-Ot99
    2
    reports are to be received by the Board no later than May 3,
    1993.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
