    the parties,
    Stiffel and the Agency,
    filed a joint status report and request for a six month stay of
    this proceeding.
    This filing was made at the suggestion of the
    hearing officer, following his January 20,
    1993 contact with the
    parties concerning the status of this case.
    The report recites that:
    As has been reported previously to the Board
    on
    June 9,
    1992,
    Stiffel submitted a
    compliance plan regarding 35 Iii.
    Adxn. Code
    Part 218, Subpart F regulations to the IEPA
    on or about February 7,
    1992.. Ms. Armitage
    has represented that the Compliance Plan is
    acceptable to the IEPA.
    Ms. Armitage has
    also represented that the IEPA is in the
    process of preparing a recommendation to the
    Office of the Illinois Attorney General
    regarding a consent order that embodies the
    Compliance Plan.
    The IEPA and Stiffel anticipate that the
    Consent Agreement will resolve all
    outstanding
    issues.
    Both the IEPA and
    Stiffel agree,
    therefore, that no hearing
    should be scheduled in this matter at
    present.
    Stiffel and the IEPA request,
    therefore, that the Board stay this matter.
    Stiffel and the IEPA agree to provide the
    Board with a status report in six
    (6)
    months.
    The Board will not rule on the request for stay until the
    parties provide clarifying information concerning the following
    points:
    1.
    The Board’s last order in this matter,
    issued May 21,
    1992,
    granted the Agency an extension of time until
    June 23,
    1992
    in which to file its response to this
    petition.
    No response has ever been filed,
    and no
    further extension has been sought, despite the
    0139-0665
    2
    representations contained in the parties June 9,
    1992
    status report.

    embodied in a consent order.
    The status reports do not
    indicate why the consent order procedure is being
    pursued in this adjusted standard case.

    these concerns to be received by the Board on or before March 8,
    1993.
