    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
    On December 14, 1999, the Illinois Attorney General filed a formal complaint against the City
    of Joliet. On the same day, the parties filed a stipulation and proposal for settlement, accompanied by a
    motion requesting relief from the hearing requirement of Section 31(c)(1) of the Environmental
    Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(1) (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 16th day of December 1999 by a vote of 6-0.
