(UST Appeal)
(90-Day Extension)
ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
On January 17, 2007, the parties timely filed a joint notice to extend the 35-day period
within which Wright Petroleum may appeal a December 12, 2006 determination of the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency (Agency).
See
415 ILCS 5/40(a)(1) (2004); 35 Ill. Adm. Code
105.402, 105.406. Because the postmark date of the joint request is within the time for filing
based on the petitioner’s receipt of the determination on December 14, 2006, as the parties assert,
the joint request was timely filed. 35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.300(b)(2), 105.404. The Agency
rejected the High Priority Corrective Action Plan Budget for Wright Petroleum’s leaking
underground petroleum storage tank facility located at Route 61 (also know as East Main Street),
Augusta, Hancock County.
The Board extends the appeal period until April13, 2007, as the parties request, based on
the December 14, 2006 receipt date.
See
415 ILCS 5/40(a)(1) (2004); 35 Ill. Adm. Code
105.406. If Wright Petroleum fails to file an appeal on or before that date
1
, the Board will
dismiss this case and close the docket.
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 26, 2007, by a vote of 4-0.

Illinois Pollution Control Board

The Board reminds Wright Petroleum that any appeal must be filed by an attorney, rather than
an environmental consultant.
