    (UST - Appeal
    Ninety-Day Extension)
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
    On April 24, 1997 Old Elm Country Club (petitioner) filed a request for extension of
    the 35-day appeal period pursuant to Section 40 of the Environmental Protection Act, relating
    to a March 31, 1997 Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) determination. On
    May 5, 1997 the Agency filed its concurrence and a joint notice. The Agency requested the
    extension "to June 30, 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 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 97-185 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 June 30, 1997 (the 90th day after March 31, 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.
