ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by N. Nardulli):
This matter is before the Board on an October 13,
1992
petition for review of the respondent’s determination that
petitioners’ claim for reimbursement from the Underground Storage
Tank Fund
(Ill. Rev.
Stat.
1991,
ch.
111 1/2, par. 1022.18b)
is
subject to a $50,000 deductible.
By the instant petition, petitioners contend that respondent
incorrectly imposed a $50,000 deductible and allege that a
$10,000 deductible is proper.
In Ideal Heating v. IEPA (January
23,
1992),
PCB 91-253, the Board held that Agency UST decisions
are ripe for Board review only where:
(1) the Agency has denied
eligibility or;
(2) the Agency found the applicant eligible and
has also reached both the issue of the proper deductible and the
reasonableness of costs.
(See also, Village of Lincoinwood v.
IEPA (June
4,
1992), PCB 91—83.)
On September 8,
1992, the Agency determined that
petitioners’ claim is subject to a $50,000 deductible.
The
Agency’s September
8 letter establishes that it has not yet
reached a determination as to which costs are reimbursable.
Therefore, pursuant to Ideal Heating, the Agency’s decision is
not ripe for Board review and the instant appeal must be
dismissed as premature.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Section 41 of the Environmental Protection Act
(Ill. Rev.
Stat.
1991,
ch.
111 1/2,
par. 1041) provides for the appeal of
final Board orders within 35 days.
The Rules of the Supreme
Court of Illinois establish filing requirements.
