ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Anderson):
This matter comes before the Board on a May 14, 1992 motion to
file the record instanter filed by the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency (Agency). This petition was filed with the Board
on March 30, 1992, and the Agency asserts that it received notice
of the petition on March 30, 1992. Pursuant to 35 Ill. Adin. Code
105.102 (a) (4), the Agency record is to be filed with the Pollution
Control Board within 14 days “upon notice of the petition”. The
record was therefore due to be filed on April 13, 1992. This
mQtion and the record were filed 45 days after the Agency received
notice of petitioner’s appeal, and are 31 days late.
The Board is concerned about the significant delay in filing
this record. The Board also notes with concern the absence of any
earlier motion requesting an extension of time. Because the Act
requires the Board to consider the Agency record in making its
decision, the Agency’s motion to allow filing of the Agency record
instanter is hereby granted.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
Board, hereby certify that the above order was adopted on the
