    (Permit Appeal)
    HEARING OFFICER ORDER
     
     
    On January 18, 2005, petitioner participated in a telephone status conference with the
    hearing officer. Respondent did not appear. There are three remaining issues, and respondent is
    still waiting to hear from its permitting section. The main issue centers around compliance
    certification. As a condition to the permit, respondent wants petitioner to agree to comply with
    any future regulatory changes that may occur before the permit period expires. According to
    petitioner, other states do not require this, and petitioner does not interpret Illinois law to require
    this permit condition.
     
    The parties are directed to participate in a telephone status conference with the hearing
    officer at 11:30 a.m. on February 17, 2005. To attend the telephone status conference, please
    call the following number: (877) 926-7700; access code 4444. The parties shall be prepared to
    discuss the status of this matter.
     
    Petitioner filed an open waiver of the statutory decision deadline in this matter.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
