HEARING OFFICER ORDER

On March 25, 2004, all parties participated in a telephonic status conference with the

hearing officer. The parties represented that they continue to exchange settlement offers and that

settlement discussions continue. The complainant is also reviewing a supplemental

environmental project that may or may not be approved as part of the settlement. Respondent

made an oral motion for an extension of time to answer or otherwise plead. Complainant has no

objection. Respondent’s motion is granted. Respondent’s answer or other pleading is now due

on or before June 3, 2004.

The parties or their legal representatives are directed to participate in a telephonic status

conference call with the hearing officer on May 20, 2004, at 11:15 a.m. The status conference

must be initiated by the petitioner, but each party is nonetheless responsible for its own

appearance. At the status conference, the parties must be prepared to discuss the status of the

above-captioned matter and their readiness for hearing.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
