    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (BY J.D. Dumelle):
    This matter
    comes before
    the Board upon Respondent,
    Elizabeth Street Foundry’s,
    August
    2,
    1988,
    filing of
    a Motion
    requesting an extension of time
    in which
    to comply with this
    Board’s Order of March
    24, 1988.
    Complainant objected,
    by
    motion,
    on August
    8,
    1988.
    On March
    24, 1988,
    this Board ordered Respondent
    to contact
    the Illinois Department of Commerce and Community Affairs
    (IDCCA)
    and seek other available governmental assistance
    for conducting
    a
    stack
    test at Respondent’s facility.
    Respondent was ordered
    to
    seek assistance
    in financing and obtain technical advice
    concerning possible plant modifications and pollution control
    equipment.
    Respondent’s Motion avers an attempt
    to comply with the
    Board’s Order
    in all respects, including
    a review of
    20 programs
    available through IDCCA,
    a real estate appraisal an~consultation
    with
    the College Of Engineering at the University Of Illinois.
    Respondent urges
    the Board
    to grant additional
    time to allow
    university personnel
    to analyze
    the circumstances and file a
    detailed report.
    Complainant objects stating that Respondent
    never
    communicated or contacted the Illinois Environmental Protection
    Agency after
    the Board’s March 24,
    1988 Order.
    Complainant
    also
    attacks Respondent’s supporting documentation and affidavits
    characterizing these
    as purely speculative and wholly
    inadequate.
    Complainant urges
    the Board
    to reject Respondent’s
    Motion and enter,
    inter
    alia,
    a cease and desist order.
    The Board does not agree
    that the Motion and supporting
    documents are speculative and
    inadequate.
    These indicate
    a
    effort
    to comply with the March 24,
    1988 Order; matters beyond
    91—347
    —2—
    Respondent’s control should not be allowed
    to
    prejudice
    Respondent’ s case.
    The Board does hereby grant Respondent’s Motion;
    the filing
    deadline
    is extended until November 14,
    1988.
    IT
    IS SO ORDERED.
