ORDER OF THE BOARD (by B. Forcade):

This matter comes before the Board upon two motions filed by

citizens interested in the outcome of this case, each requesting

that the July 18, 1986, deadline established by the Hearing

Officer for submission of comments be extended.

First, the Board notes that the Hearing Officer was correct

in establishing a short, strict timetable for the submission of

comments in this matter. The Board, itself, faces a very

difficult task in adjudicating a petition for variance within the

90—day limit of 35 Ill. Adm. code 104.220, and much appreciates

efforts by its Hearing Officer which allow the Board to have as

much time as practicable to consider the fully developed record.

Nevertheless, the Board finds that in order to ensure that

the record in this matter is developed fully, additional time for

submission of comments is desirable. There has been an extremely

large amount of citizen interest in this case; the Hearing

Officer estimated that approximately 200 persons attended the

July 11, 1986, hearing. The Board desires to make all reasonable

efforts to ensure that interested persons have an opportunity to

make their concerns heard. Furthermore, an additional comment

period is all the more possible now, as Petitioner has waived its

right to a decision in this matter up to and including August 28,

1986.

Therefore, comments for the record in this proceeding will

be accepted at the Board’s Chicago offices until 4:30 p.m.,

August 11, 1986.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
