(Permit Appeal - Land
Ninety-Day Extension)
ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
On March 21, 1997 Litchfield-Hillsboro Landfill (petitioner) filed a request for
extension of the 35-day appeal period pursuant to Section 40 of the Environmental Protection
Act, relating to a February 19, 1997 Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency)
determination. On March 25, 1997 the Agency filed its concurrence and a joint notice. The
Agency requested the extension “to May 20, 1997, or any other date not more than a total of
90 days from the date of the Agency's final determination.”
P.A. 88-690 (SB1724), effective January 24, 1995, amends Section 40(a) which
governs the permit appeal process to provide:
the 35-day period for petitioning for a hearing may be extended
for a period of time not to exceed 90 days by written notice
provided to the Board from the applicant and the Agency within
the initial appeal period.
As the Board maintains its files by docket number only, the Board will reserve docket
PCB 97-167 for any appeal which may be filed by petitioner; petitioner is directed to use this
docket number in any future filing concerning this appeal. In the event that petitioner fails to
file an appeal on or before May 20, 1997 (the 90th day after February 19, 1997), the Board
will dismiss the docket as unnecessary. A $75 filing fee will, of course, be required at such
time as petitioner files such petition.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
