    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by N.J. Melas):
    On June 23, 2006, the Office of the Attorney General, on behalf of the People of the State
    of Illinois (People), filed a complaint against Karam Toor and Surjit Toor, doing business as
    Toor Car and Truck Plaza, and Singh Inc. of Illinois, doing business as Toor Car and Truck Plaza
    (collectively, Toors).
    See
    415 ILCS 5/31(c)(1) (2004); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.204. The People
    allege that the Toors violated Section 12(f) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/12(f) (2004)) and 35 Ill.
    Adm. Code 309.104(a). The People further allege that the Toors violated these provisions by
    failing to timely renew their National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit. The
    complaint concerns the Toor’s facility at 43067 North U.S. Highway 41, Wadsworth, Lake
    County, Illinois.
    On January 2, 2007, the People and the Toors filed a stipulation and proposed settlement,
    accompanied by a request for relief from the hearing requirement of Section 31(c)(1) of the Act
    (415 ILCS 5/31(c)(1) (2004)). This filing is authorized by Section 31(c)(2) of the Act (415 ILCS
    5/31(c)(2) (2004)).
    See
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.300(a). Under the proposed stipulation, the Toors
    neither admit nor deny the alleged violations and agree to pay a civil penalty of $6,300.
    Unless the Board determines that a hearing is needed, the Board must cause notice of the
    stipulation, proposed settlement, and request for relief from the hearing requirement. Any person
    may file a written demand for hearing within 21 days after receiving the notice. If anyone timely
    files a written demand for hearing, the Board will deny the parties’ request for relief and hold a
    hearing. 415 ILCS 5/31(c)(2) (2004); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.300(b), (c). The Board directs the
    Clerk of the Board to provide the required notice.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
