    the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/40(a)(1) (1996)), relating to a
    January 26, 1999 Agency determination. On April 26, 1999, the Board received petitioner’s

    location of hearing at least 40 days in advance of hearing so that a 30-day public notice of
    hearing may be published.
    Absent any future waivers of the decision deadline, the statutory decision deadline is
    now August 24, 1999 (120 days from April 26, 1999); a Board meeting is scheduled for
    August 19, 1999.
