ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY’S

STATUS REPORT

NOW COMES the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“Illinois EPA”), by one of

its attorneys and, pursuant to 35 the Hearing Officer’s Order of August 27, 2007, files this Status

Report.

On August 27, 2007, the Hearing Officer cancelled the scheduled hearings in the above

matter pursuant to the Illinois EPA’s Motion of August 23, 2007. The Illinois EPA’s August

Motion indicated that new modeling would be shared with the public in October. On October 4,

2007, the Illinois EPA met with the public, including the interested parties to this rulemaking to

share the new modeling. As a result of that meeting the Illinois EPA is still in discussions with

the interested parties and will have further details within three weeks of how it would like to

proceed with this docket.

The Illinois EPA respectfully submits this Status Report.

Respectfully submitted,
