TIME CERTAIN WAIVER OF STATUTORY DECISION DEADLINE
NOW COMES the Petitioner, W . R
. MEADOWS, INC
., pursuant to 35 111. Admin. Code
§101
.308(c)(2) and files its
Time Certain Waiver of Statutory Decision Deadline
to extend the
current statutory deadline for a final Board decision in this permit appeal proceeding as specified
in Section 40 of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act, 415 ILCS 5/40 (the
"Act")
.
In support of its
Time Certain Waiver of Statutory Decision Deadline,
Petitioner states
:
1 .
On May 3, 2006, Petitioner timely filed its Petition for Review to appeal a
January 30, 2006, determination of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("IEPA" or
"Agency"), which denied Petitioner's application for renewal of an Operating Permit for existing
equipment and processes at its Kane County facility
. On May 4, 2006, the Board issued an
Order accepting Meadows' Petition for Review for hearing and decision on the issues presented
.
2 .
Petitioner and Respondent have undertaken discussions to explore the possibility
of settlement of this matter and a related proceeding pending before the Board as Case No
. 97-
195
. The parties have reached a preliminary settlement agreement that defines the scope of the
actions needed to resolve the permitting and compliance issues involving Petitioner's Kane
County facility
. The preliminary settlement agreement has been reviewed and approved by
Respondent's management
. Counsel for the parties represent that this matter and related Case
1
80235661v1 865433
No
. 97-195 will be resolved by settlement, thereby avoiding the significant expenditure of time
and resources associated with proceeding to hearing and final Board decision
. A meeting is
scheduled for March 16, 2007 to finalize all aspects of the parties' settlement agreement
.
3 .
To allow sufficient time for the parties to finalize the settlement terms and
conditions, Petitioner waives the current statutory decision deadline of June 27, 2007, and
requests a 60-day extension to August 27, 2007, for the Board's decision in this proceeding
