    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J.P. Novak):
     
    On December 26, 2003, the parties timely filed a joint notice to extend the 35-day period
    within which Detrex Corporation may appeal a November 19, 2003 determination of the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Agency (Agency).
    See
    415 ILCS 5/40(a)(1) (2002); 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    105.402, 105.406. Because the postmark date of the joint request is within the time for filing, the
    joint request was timely filed. 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.300(b)(2), 105.404. The Agency rejected
    modifications to petitioner’s RCRA corrective action plan for Detrex Corporation’s leaking
    underground petroleum storage tank facility located at Melrose Park, Cook County. The Board
    extends the appeal period until March 23, 2004, which is the 125th day after the Agency
    determination.
    See
    415 ILCS 5/40(a)(1) (2002); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.406. If Detrex
    Corporation fails to file an appeal on or before the March 23, 2004 date, the Board will dismiss
    this case and close the docket.
     
    In so doing, the Board notes that the parties had requested an extension until April 27,
    2004, which is the 160th day after November 19, 2003. In extending the appeal period through
    March 24, 2004, the Board has granted the maximum extension allowed under the
    Environmental Protection Act.
    See
    415 ILCS 5/40(a)(1) (2002).
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
     
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on January 8, 2004, by a vote of 5-0.
