    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J.P. Novak):
    On December 22, 2003, the Office of the Attorney General, on behalf of the People of the

    and Roberts Environmental Control, Inc. (respondents).

    Adm. Code 103.204. The People allege that the respondents violated Section 9(a) and 9.1(d) of
    the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/9(a) and 9.1(d) (2002)); 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    201.141; and 40 C.F.R. 61.145(a), (b), (c)(1), (c)(6), and (c)(8), as enforceable under Section
    9.1(d) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/9.1(d) (2002)). The People further allege that the respondents
    violated these provisions by failure to comply with standards applicable to removal of asbestos-
    containing materials and the emission of asbestos during the course of building renovations. The
    complaint concerns the 16 floor office building at 11 East Adams Street, Chicago, Cook County.
    The Board accepts the complaint for hearing.
    See
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.212(c). A
    respondent’s failure to file an answer to a complaint within 60 days after receiving the complaint
    may have severe consequences. Generally, if the respondents fails within that timeframe to file
    an answer specifically denying, or asserting insufficient knowledge to form a belief of, a material
    allegation in the complaint, the Board will consider the respondents to have admitted the
    allegation. 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.204(d). The Board directs the hearing officer to proceed
    expeditiously to hearing.
    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.
