    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by N.J. Melas):
    On August 25, 1999, complainant and State Oil Company, an Illinois corporation, filed a stipulation and
    proposal for settlement, accompanied by a motion requesting relief from the hearing requirement of Section
    31(c)(2) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(2) (1998)). The Board directs the Clerk of the
    Board to cause publication of the required newspaper notice for the stipulation and proposal for settlement and
    request for relief from hearing concerning the complaint filed by the Illinois Attorney General on behalf of the
    People of the State of Illinois and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency.
    Pursuant to Section 31(c)(2) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(2) (1998)), the parties may file with the Board a
    stipulation and proposal for settlement accompanied by a request for relief from the hearing requirement. Unless
    the Board determines that a hearing is needed, the Board is required to cause notice of the stipulation and proposal
    for settlement and request for relief. Any person may file a written demand for hearing within 21 days after
    receiving the notice. If a hearing is requested, the Board will accordingly deny the 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 9th day of September 1999 by a vote of 6-0.
