    . (1998)) and the Board’s regulations. The complaint alleges
    that violations occurred as a result of operations at respondent’s facility located at 2600
    McKinley Avenue, Charleston, Coles County, Illinois. The Board accepts this matter for
    hearing.
    The Board directs that this matter proceed to hearing as expeditiously as practicable.
    The assigned hearing officer must set the matter for hearing in accordance with the
    requirements of the Act and the Board’s procedural rules. Accordingly, this matter must be set
    for hearing within 90 days after the filing of the complaint unless the hearing officer, after
    appropriate consultation with the parties, determines that a later date is appropriate and that no
    undue delay or material prejudice in the resolution of this matter would result. See 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 103.125(a). In any event, it is the responsibility of the hearing officer to guide the
    parties toward prompt resolution or adjudication of this matter, through whatever status calls
    and hearing officer orders he or she determines are necessary and appropriate.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
