ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Anderson):

Interstate Pollution Control, Inc. (IPC) operates an on—

premises oil/water separation facility as well as a licensed

waste hauling facility in Rockford. On February 3, 1986, IPC

filed an appeal of decisions of the Agency’s Division of Land

Pollution Control which, on December 27, 1985, denied renewal of

the site’s operating permit, and also, on January 8, 1986, deemed

the application for renewal of 175 supplemental waste stream

permits incomplete. Interstate also filed a motion to

consolidate these appeals with PCB 85—155, involving denial of

air and water permits, as well as an emergency motion for stay of

the effect of these denials.

The day—old motions are not ripe for decision. However,

given the fact that the next Board meeting is scheduled for

February 26, nearly three weeks away, given IPC’s pleadings, and

given the Board’s unchallenged findings in PCB 85—155 that

economic harm to IPC outweighs any apparent harm to the

environment, the Board will at this time grant a temporary stay

until February 26. At that time, when the Board has the benefit

of the Agency’s responses as well as its permit records, the

Board will address the motion to consolidate as well as the issue

of a longer term stay. During the life of this short term stay,

IPC shall comply with the conditions of the expired permits.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

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

Board, hereby certify that the above Order was adopted on
