    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by R.C. Flemal):
    This matter is before the Board on respondent Electronic Interconnect Corporation’s
    (EIC) and Gordon Krautsack’s (complainant’s) February 26, 1999 notice of settlement
    agreement and agreed motion for voluntary dismissal (Mot.), and joint motion for waiver from
    hearing requirement.
    For the reasons stated below, the Board grants the motions for voluntary dismissal and
    waiver from hearing requirement.
    On August 21, 1997, the Board granted complainant partial summary judgment,
    finding that EIC had violated Sections 21(a), (e), and (f) of the Illinois Environmental
    Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/21(a), (e), and (f) (1996)). The Board ordered EIC to
    cease and desist from violations of the Act and to complete remediation of the site by
    December 31, 1997. The Board said it would address the appropriate civil penalty, if any,
    after the site remediation was completed.
    Today the parties represent that they have reached a settlement which includes the
    assertion that complainant no longer seeks imposition of a civil penalty. Mot. at 4. Further,
    the parties represent that the actual contamination of the property was minimal. Mot. at 4.
    Soil sampling results indicate that the minimal contamination has had no impact on human
    health and the environment and that no migration of materials has occurred at the property.
    Mot. at 3. Also, EIC has agreed to apply for and obtain from the Illinois Environmental
    Protection Agency, a No Further Remediation letter. Mot. at 2.
    2
    The Board grants the parties’ agreed motion for voluntary dismissal and joint motion
    for waiver from hearing requirement. The case is dismissed with prejudice, and the docket is
    closed.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
    the above order was adopted on the 4th day of March 1999 by a vote of 7-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
