    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Yi):
    This matter comes before the Board on a petition for adjusted standard filed September
    3, 1996, by Shell Wood River Refining Company (Shell or petitioner) located near Roxana
    Illinois, Madison County. Shell is requesting an adjusted standard from the closure and design
    provisions of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.213 and 725.321 respectively; petitioner seeks to delay
    closure of certain wastewater treatment ponds at its Wood River facility so as to use the ponds
    to treat nonhazardous waste and maintain compliance with its National Pollution Discharge
    Elimination System permit. In accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.712, Shell notified the
    Board on October 2, 1996, that it caused notice to be timely published in the Alton Telegraph.
    Additionally Shell has met all the applicable informational requirements; however, this does
    not mean Shell has demonstrated its burden before the Board.
    On January 10, 1997, Shell filed an amended petition and a motion to vacate the Board
    October 17, 1996 order so far as that order set this matter to hearing. Shell states that this
    matter is being brought pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 725.213(e)(8)(A) and that provision
    specifically states that the procedures of 35 Ill. Adm. Code 106.Subpart G are to be followed.
    Section 106.705 allows for the waiver of the hearing requirement which Shell waived in its
    petition for an adjusted standard. The Board grants the motion to cancel the hearing and
    vacates that portion of the Board's October 17, 1996 order.
    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 _____ day of ___________, 1997, by a vote of
    ______________.
