    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by R.
    C.
    Flemal):
    This matter concerns a petition for adjusted standard from
    certain of the Board’s effluent limitations.
    The matter comes
    before the Board on a motion filed by the City of Rock Island
    (Rock Island) to reschedule hearing, and upon a motion filed by
    the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
    (Agency)
    for
    extension of time to file its response to the petition.
    A
    hearing in this matter was set for March
    3,
    1992, by hearing
    officer order.
    In support of its motion, Rock Island states that it has
    recently become aware that the Illinois Department of
    Conservation
    (DOC)
    expressed concern over the discharge point
    proposed in its petition.
    The concern is that the proposed
    discharge point
    is
    in or near a designated mussel sanctuary.
    Rock Island states that DOC will need time to evaluate the
    petition to determine what impact,
    if any, that the proposed
    discharge point would have on the mussel sanctuary,
    and that Rock
    Island will need time to respond to DOC’s concerns.
    Rock Island
    submits that it would be premature to hold a hearing on March
    3,
    1992,
    in light of these developments.
    Rock Island states that
    a
    waiver of the 120—day decision deadline has been provided as
    Exhibit B to this motion.
    The Agency’s motion relates similar information on DOC’s
    interest in the discharge point, and requests
    a 90—day extension
    of time for it to file its response to the petition.
    Neither Rock Island nor the Agency pose any objections to
    each other’s motions.
    The Board believes that grant of Rock Island’s motion to
    reschedule the hearing is warranted and will be in the interest
    of administrative economy.
    The motion to reschedule the hearing
    is hereby granted.
    The hearing officer is directed to reschedule
    the hearing in this matter after consultation with the parties
    and within the timeframe provided by the statutory deadline and
    waiver.
    The Board also grants the Agency’s motion for an
    130—135
    2
    additional
    90 days to file its response to Rock Island’s.
    petition.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
