ORDER

OF THE BOARD

(by J,

Anderson):

On December 21,

1981 the

Board received

an Agency Motion

to

Strike

Variance Petition dated December 18,

1981.

The

motion

identifies deficiencies addressed

by the Board

in its December

17,

1981 Order setting this matter for hearing.

The

motion is denied

as mooted by the

directions contained in the December

Order.

On January

6,

1982

Petitioner moved for an

extension of the

45 day time period set by the

Board December 17,

1981 by which

hearing was to have been held,

(Hearing has been

scheduled for

January

28,

1981,)

Petitioner

seeks a

60

day extension and waives

the

90 day decision period

for

a

like time.

In

support of its

motion, petitioner states

that there would be

insufficient time

in which to remedy

the deficiencies earlier noted

by

the Board

if

the extension is not granted.

While the

Agency~stime for response to the motion has

not

run,

the Board hereby grants the requested extension to avoid

problems which could be

caused

by

cancellation of hearing after

public

notice of the hearing date has been given.

Hearing shall

therefore be scheduled within 50 and held

within

84 days of the

date of this Order,

Pursuant to petitioners waiver, decision in

this matter is due 150 days from December

4,

1981.

Finally, while the filing of an amended petition has

not

been required,

the

Board notes that

such

an amendment in advance

of hearing

would serve to clarify the record and allow for

development of a more

efficient and orderly hearing record.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

I,

Christan L.

Moffett,

Clerk of the Illinois

Pollution

Control Board, hereby certify

that

the above

Order was adopted on
