Agency at the time the permit or decision was issued.” 35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.214(a). Hearings
will be scheduled and completed in a timely manner, consistent with the decision deadline (
see
415 ILCS 5/40(a)(2) (2002)), which only Premcor Refining Group may extend by waiver (
see
35
Ill. Adm. Code 101.308). If the Board fails to take final action by the decision deadline, Premcor
Refining Group “shall be entitled to an Appellate Court order pursuant to subsection (d) of
Section 41 of this Act [415 ILCS 5/41(d) (2002)].” 415 ILCS 5/40(a)(3) (2002). Currently, the
decision deadline is May 14, 2004 (the 120th day after January 15, 2004).
See
35 Ill. Adm. Code
105.114. The Board meeting immediately before the decision deadline is scheduled for May 6,
2004.
Unless the Board or the hearing officer orders otherwise, the Agency must file the entire
record of its determination by February 14, 2004, which is 30 days after Premcor Refining Group
filed the petition. 35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.212(a). If the Agency wishes to seek additional time to
file the record, it must file a request for extension before the date on which the record is due to
2
be filed. 35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.116. The record must comply with the content requirements of
35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.212(b).
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 22, 2004, by a vote of 5-0.
Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
Illinois Pollution Control Board
