ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by J.
Anderson):
On May 12,
1993, the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency
(Agency)
filed a motion for
summary
judgment in this
matter.
On May 21,
1993,
the Agency and Joliet Park District
(Joliet) filed a joint motion requesting the Board to
1)
stay the
filing of Joliet’s response to the Agency’s motion,
2) stay the
Board’s ruling on the motion itself, and to
3)
continue the June
9,
1993 hearing in this matter.
On June 2,
1993, Joliet filed a
waiver of the statutory decision deadline to November 9,
1993.
In support of the joint motion, the parties assert that,
since the filing of the petition, Joliet has discovered new
evidence which is of interest to the State Fire Marshal and which
could determine the outcome of this case.
The parties add that
the State Fire Marshal’s attorney has directed Joliet to file an
amended notification for its underground storage tanks and
that,
as a result, settlement discussions may be appropriate in this
case.
In light of the above, the Board hereby grants the parties’
motion.
Accordingly, the hearing officer is authorized to cancel
the June 9,
1993 hearing.
Joliet’s response to the Agency’s
motion for summary judgment is to be received by the Board no
later than July 21,
1993,
so that the Board can issue a ruling on
the motion for summary judgment at one of its August,
1993 Board
meetings.
This will allow the hearing officer to reschedule
hearing, in the event that the motion is denied, consistent with
the November 9,
1993 statutory decision deadline.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
