    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by M. McFawn):
    On August 5, 1999, complainant filed a stipulation and proposal for settlement, accompanied by an agreed
    motion requesting relief from the hearing requirement imposed by Section 31(c)(1) of the Environmental
    Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(1) (1998)). Section 31(c)(2) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/32(c)(2) (1998)) specifically
    authorizes such filings by the parties to an enforcement action.
    Unless the Board determines that a hearing is necessary, the Board is required to cause notice of the
    stipulation and proposal for settlement and request for relief to be published in a newspaper of general circulation
    in the county in which the alleged violation occurred. The Board hereby directs the Clerk of the Board to cause
    publication of the required newspaper notice.
    In accordance with Section 31(c)(2), any person may file a written demand for hearing within 21 days after
    publication of the notice. If a hearing is requested, the Board will deny the parties’ request for relief and schedule a
    hearing.
    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 19th day of August 1999 by a vote of 7-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
