    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by T.E. Johnson):
    On April 4, 2005, the People of the State of Illinois (People) filed a five-count air
    pollution complaint against respondents Pattison Associates, LLC (Pattison) and 5701 South
    Calumet, LLC (5701 Calumet) (collectively, respondents). The complaint concerns renovation
    activities conducted by Pattison at an apartment complex owned by 5701 Calumet in Chicago,
    Cook County. On October 14, 2005, the respondents filed an answer to the complaint that
    contained two affirmative defenses.
    The People filed a motion to dismiss the affirmative defenses on November 16, 2005. In
    the motion, the People argue that the defenses were not proper affirmative defenses and should
    be dismissed. On December 20, 2005, the respondents filed a motion to withdraw the
    affirmative defenses asserted in the answer.
    The Board grants the respondents’ motion, and allows the affirmative defenses asserted
    in the answer to be withdrawn. The People’s motion to dismiss the affirmative defenses is moot,
    and will not be considered by the Board.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on January 19, 2006, by a vote of 4-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
