    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J.P. Novak):
     
    On June 28, 2004, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) timely filed
    three separate administrative citations against Earl and Norma Martin (respondents).
    See
    415
    ILCS 5/31.1(c) (2002); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.202(c). Each administrative citation involves a
    separate inspection date at a single location at County Road 2500 North, Rio Township, Knox
    County. Each administrative citation contains similar, but distinct, allegations.
     
    On November 18, 2004, the Agency filed a motion to consolidate the administrative
    citations for the purpose of hearing. The Agency asserts in support of its motion that (1) the
    property and parties are the same; (2) the Agency’s main witnesses and burdens of proof are
    identical; (3) consolidation for the purposes of hearing would add to the interest in a convenient,
    expeditious; and complete determination of the issues; and (4) consolidation would cause no
    material prejudice. The Board grants that motion and consolidates the administrative citations
    for hearing.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
     
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on December 2, 2004, by a vote of 5-0.
     
     
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
