    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
    On March 30, 2001, the People of the State of Illinois filed a one-count complaint
    against the Kucera Disposal Company (Kucera). The complaint alleges Kucera caused or
    allowed waste to be stored outside the transfer building and constructed a large metal canopy
    without seeking a modification of its operating permit at its facility located at 1800 South
    Laramie, Cicero, Cook County, Illinois. These activities were in alleged violation of Section
    21(d) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/21(d) (1998)) and permit 1983-
    22-OP Part IV, Section A, 26, and Special Condition 15. The Board accepts this matter for
    hearing.
    The Board directs that this matter proceed to hearing as expeditiously as practicable.
    The assigned hearing officer must set the matter for hearing in accordance with the
    requirements of the Act and the Board’s procedural rules. It is the responsibility of the hearing
    officer to guide the parties toward prompt resolution or adjudication of this matter, through
    whatever status calls and hearing officer orders he determines are necessary and appropriate.
    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 5th day of April 2001 by a vote of 7-0.
