    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by R.C. Flemal):
    On August 27, 1997 the National Steel Corporation Granite City Division (GCD) filed
    a conditional motion for continuance of temporary stay of proceedings. This motion is in
    response to the Board’s July 10, 1997 order granting GCD a stay until September 8, 1997 to
    file an amended petition.
    The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) issued GCD a draft permit in
    this matter, but has not issued a final permit. GCD states that according to the Agency, the
    final permit is delayed due to the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (USEPA)
    review. GCD requests a stay in this matter for an additional 60 days to allow it, the IEPA,
    and the USEPA additional time to resolve the issue. GCD observes that these negotiations may
    therefore result in the withdrawal of the adjusted standard petition.
    The Board hereby grants GCD’s requested stay to file an amended petition for adjusted
    standard. This stay is in effect until November 10, 1997.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    Board Member K.M. Hennessey abstained.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
    the above order was adopted on the 4th day of September 1997, by a vote of 6-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
