    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Theodore Meyer):
    On May 30, 1997, the Illinois Attorney General, on behalf of the People of the State of
    Illinois, filed a formal complaint naming as a respondent Keyser Industries, Inc., a/k/a Florida
    Plastics International, Inc., an Illinois corporation, located at 10200 South Kedzie, Evergreen
    Park, Cook County, Illinois. On June 4, 1998, the parties filed a stipulation and proposal for
    settlement accompanied by a request for relief from the requirement of Section 31(c)(2) of the
    Environmental Protection Act (Act) that proposed stipulated settlements be presented at public
    hearing. 415 ILCS 5/31(c)(2) (1996).
    Section 31(c)(2) of the Act provides that whenever a complaint has been filed on behalf
    of the People of the State of Illinois, the parties may file with the Board a stipulation and
    proposal for settlement accompanied by a request for relief from the requirement of a hearing.
    415 ILCS 5/31(c)(2) (1996). The Board is required to cause notice of the stipulation,
    proposal, and request for relief to be published, unless the Board, in its discretion, concludes
    that a hearing is necessary. The notice is required to include a statement that any person may
    file a written demand for hearing within 21 days after receiving the notice. If any person files
    a timely written demand for hearing, the Board will deny the request for relief from a hearing.
    The Board accordingly directs the Clerk of the Board to cause publication of the
    required newspaper notice. The Board will reserve ruling on the parties’ request for relief
    from the hearing requirement until after the statutory 21 days have passed.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
    the above order was adopted on the 17th day of June 1998 by a vote of 6-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
