ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J.D. Dumelle):

This matter comes before the Board upon a June 10, 1987,

Motion to Consolidate filed by LTV Steel Company (“LTV”). LTV

requested the Board to consolidate the action in PCB 87—68, an

appeal from the denial of an application for renewal of an

operating permit, with the action in PCB 86—43, an appeal of

certain conditions imposed in an operating permit. Because the

underlying permit in both actions is the same and because the

substantive issues are the same, LTV seeks consolidation. In its

June 15, 1987, response, the Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency (“Agency”) supported the motion for consolidation. The

Agency believes that the specific circumstances in this case

favor consolidation, and that no good purpose would be served by

keeping the two actions separate.

Based on the foregoing, the Board hereby grants the motion

to consolidate, and directs the Clerk to consolidate these two

actions.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I, Dorothy N. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control

Board, hereby certify that t~r~above Order was adopted on
