ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by M. Nardulli):
On July 5,
1991 the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
(“Agency”)
filed both the Permit Record and Motion to Consolidate
cases
in this matter.
The motion seeks to consolidate National
Steel Corporation’s (“National”) prior permit appeal
(PCB 90-114)
with the present permit
appeal
(PCB 91-105).
National
has not
responded to the motion.
The
Agency
states
that
the two
permit
appeals
should
be
consolidated
before
the
Board
because
the
issues
in
each
are
identical.
In
PCB 90-114
National appealed certain conditions
imposed in its operating permit.
While that appeal was pending.,
a new operating permit was applied for and granted with conditions.
National appeals the identical conditions
in the present appeal
(PCB
91—105)
as
it did
in the former appeal
(PCB 90-114).
The
Agency
argues
that consolidation would
expedite resolution
and
avoid unnecessary and additional expense.
We agree.
The Agency’s
motion
is therefore granted.
The matters PCB 90-114 and PCB 91—
105 are consolidated for appeal before the Board.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
