ORDER OF THE BOARD (by K.M. Hennessey):
On March 22, 1996, the Illinois Attorney General, on behalf of the People of the State
of Illinois and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency), filed a formal
complaint naming as a respondent Coalville Road Enterprises, Inc., an Illinois corporation,
d/b/a Coalville Road Landfill, f/k/a Streator Area Landfill #2 located in Reading Township,
Livingston County, Illinois. On February 18, 1996, the parties filed a request for relief from
the requirements of Section 31(a)(1) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) that proposed
stipulated settlements be presented at public hearing. (415 ILCS 5/31(a)(1)(1994).)
Section 31(a)(2) of the Act provides that whenever a complaint has been filed on behalf
of the Agency or by the People of the State of Illinois, the parties may file with the Board a
stipulation and proposal for settlement accompanied by a request for relief from the
requirement of a hearing. The Board is required to cause notice of the stipulation, proposal
and request for relief to be published, unless the Board, in its discretion, concludes that a
hearing is necessary. The notice is required to include a statement that any person may file a
written demand for hearing within 21 days after receiving the notice. If any person files a
timely written demand for hearing, the Board will deny the request for relief from a hearing
and hold a hearing.
The Board accordingly directs the Clerk of the Board to cause publication of the
required newspaper notice. The Board will reserve ruling on the parties’ request until after the
statutory 21 days has passed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
