    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J.P. Novak):
     
    On January 9, 2004, the parties timely filed a joint notice to extend the 35-day period
    within which Illinois State Toll Highway Authority may appeal a December 4, 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 petitioner’s high priority corrective action plan for
    Illinois State Toll Highway Authority’s leaking underground petroleum storage tank facility
    located at Northwest Tollway (I-90), eastbound at mile post 4.5, Des Plaines, Cook County. The
    Board extends the appeal period until April 7, 2004, as the parties request.
    See
    415 ILCS
    5/40(a)(1) (2002); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.406. If Illinois State Toll Highway Authority fails to
    file an appeal on or before that date, the Board will dismiss this case and close the docket.
     
    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.
