ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
On May 2, 2002, the Board received the mandate from the Appellate Court Fourth
District in this matter. The court reversed the Board’s decision in this proceeding finding that
the Board had jurisdiction. The court stated that “we reverse and remand to the Board for
hearing on the sufficiency of the insurance policy.” ESG Watts, Inc., v. PCB, no. 4-00-0861
(4th Dist. Dec. 2001). Therefore this matter shall proceed to hearing. Hearings “will be
based exclusively on the record before the Agency at the time the permit or decision was
issued.” 35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.214(a). Hearings will be scheduled and completed in a timely
manner. Petitioner has the burden of proof. 415 ILCS 5/40(a)(1) (2000);
