    OPINION
    AND ORDER
    OF THE BOARD
    (by G.
    T. Girard):
    This matter comes before the Board on Cabot Corporation’s
    October .21,
    1991, petition for review of permit conditions
    imposed by the
    I1lino~sEnvironmental Protection Agency.
    On
    September 17,
    1992, the Board granted the parties’ motion to stay
    the proceedings.
    The
    stay of proceedings was to last until
    January 17,
    1993,
    at which time
    the parties were directed to file
    a. status report.
    On January 19,
    1993, petitioner filed a joint
    status report and a request to continue stay.
    Cabot submitted a
    RCRA
    Part B Poet—Closure Application for
    Agency review in August.
    The Agency is currently conducting its
    technical review of the application and hopes to complete
    the
    review by the third quarter of 1993.
    Cabot asserts that the
    facility’s RCRA Part B Post-Closure Permit and the revised
    closure plan will replace the closure plan which is the subject
    of this appeal.
    Thereafter,
    Cabot anticipates that the parties
    will voluntarily dismiss this proceeding.
    The parties request
    that the Board continue the “stay in this matter until the IEPA
    finishes its technical review of Cabot’s Part B Post—Closure
    Permit Application and the revised closure plan for the vaporizer-
    bottom treatment tank,
    and a RCRA Post—Closure Part B Permit is
    issued.”
    The motion for stay is granted.
    However, the Board does not
    favor indefinite stays.
    Accordingly,
    the stay will expire August
    2,
    1993?
    at which time the parties are directed to file a status
    report.
    IT IS SO
    ORDERED.
