Appeal)
(90-Day
Extension)
ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J.P. Novak):
On February 23, 2004, the parties timely filed a joint notice to extend the 35-day period
within which Bryant Automotive may appeal a January 8, 2004 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 approved
request for reimbursement from the Underground Storage Tank Fund, with modifications, for
Bryant Automotive’s leaking underground petroleum storage tank facility located at 416
Northwest Highway, Fox River Grove, McHenry County. The Board extends the appeal period
until May 16, 2004. The parties requested a due date of May 17, 2004, but May 17, 2004(the
126th day after petitioner’s January 12, 2004 receipt of the Agency determination) is beyond the
maximum time extension allowed by
the Environmental Protection Act.
See
415 ILCS
5/40(a)(1) (2002); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.406. If Bryant Automotive 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 March 4, 2004, by a vote of 5-0.

Illinois Pollution Control Board
