ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
On August 5, 1998, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) and the
Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Company (petitioner) filed a joint notice of extension of the
35-day period to appeal a decision of the Agency. The Board hereby grants petitioner an
extension of the time period for filing an appeal in the matter until October 7, 1998, pursuant
to Section 40(a)(1) of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/40(a)(1) (1996)).
Because the Board has timely received a joint notice of extension, the Board extends the appeal
period to the aforementioned date. The Board will dismiss this matter and close the docket if
petitioner fails to file an appeal on or before that date.
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 20th
day of August 1998 by a vote of 7-0.
Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
Illinois Pollution Control Board
