Hearing Officer’s February 28, 2005 Order.
1.
Since the December 17, 2004 conference call referenced in the Hearing Officer’s
Order, the representatives ofIllinois Association ofWastewater Agencies (“IAWA”) have been
in contact with representatives ofthe Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“IEPA”), the
Department ofNatural Resources (“DNR”) and other stakeholders regarding a number ofissues.
There have been ongoing
discussions regarding certaintechnical issues that were discussed at the
last stakeholder meeting, reported on the December
17th
conference call and referenced in the
previous Status Report.
2.
Based upon these discussions, it was determined that an additional stakeholder
meeting was appropriate.
This stakeholder meeting was held on February 23,
2005 at the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency’s offices in Springfield.
Representatives ofvarious
stakeholders including the DNR, IEPA and
IAWA attended.
In addition representatives from the
citizen groups attended.
3.
At this stakeholder meeting, the DNR and JEPA discussed their efforts at trying to
arrive
at an agreed upon joint state position to put forth at the third hearing in this matter.
It was
agreedthat DNR and JEPA would continue to meet to work on this position and in fact are
scheduled to meet today.
4.
It was agreed that DNR and IEPA will continue their efforts
and report back to
the other stakeholders as to their progress and the possible need for a further stakeholder meeting
to be held at the end ofMarch 2005.
5.
IAWA is hopeful that further progress can be made at resolving outstanding
different points ofview regarding this proposal as DNR and IEPA continue workjointly.
Ifsuch
progress is made, a further stakeholder meetings may be appropriate.

proposes that and would request the Hearing Officer enter an Order scheduling an additional
Status Report to be filed by IAWA on or before March 31, 2005.
