ORDER OF THE BOARD (by T.E. Johnson):
On September 10, 2001, Bridgestone/Firestone Off-Road Tire Company
(Bridgestone/Firestone) timely filed a petition asking the Board to review an August 6, 2001
determination of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency). The Agency’s
determination concerns Bridgestone/Firestones’s off-road rubber tire manufacturing facility
located at Veterans Parkway and Fort Jesse Road, Bloomington, McClean County.
On June 4, 2002, Bridgestone/Firestone filed a voluntary withdrawal of petition for
administrative review and stay of effectiveness asserting that the parties have reached an
agreement and requesting leave to withdraw its petition. The Agency did not file a response to
this request, and pursuant to Section 101.500(d) of the Board’s procedural rules is deemed to
have waived objection.
See
35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.500(d). Bridgestone/Firestone’s request is
granted, and the docket is closed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the
Board adopted the above order on July 11, 2002, by a vote of 5-0.
Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
Illinois Pollution Control Board
