ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):

On June 15, 1992 the parties filed a status report as directed

by the Board’s order of April 23, 1992. The parties report that

they have tentatively scheduled Monday, June 22, 1992 for a meeting

in Springfield to discuss certain conditions contained in the

IEPA’s Closure Plan Approval. The purpose of the meeting is to

consider and address IEPA’s concerns with respect to the Closure

Plan and any further evaluation of the site, with the hope that the

pending issues between the parties could be resolved and any need

for a hearing be obviated. The parties anticipate that the review

and analysis necessary for their settlement discussions will take

approximately three months. Accordingly, the parties request that

the hearing date be continued beyond the week of August 24.

The Board notes that the decision date in this matter is

presently October 31, 1992. Absent an additional waiver of the

decision deadline, the Board cannot allow postponement of hearing

through August 24, as this would unacceptably truncate times for

briefing and Board deliberation in this matter. Based on this

deadline, the hearing officer is directed to schedule hearing on or

before July 15 and to complete hearings by August 15, 1992.

However, the hearing officer is authorized to modify this schedule

by order in the event that an additional waiver is received.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
