HEARING OFFICER ORDER
On October 26, 2007, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency)
filed a proposal under the general rulemaking provisions of Sections 27 and 28 of the
Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/27, 28 (2006)). Generally, the proposal
will amend the Board's rules for Secondary Contact and Indigenous Aquatic Life Uses to
update the designated uses and criteria necessary to protect the existing uses. On
November 1, 2007, the Board accepted the proposal for hearing.
On November 15, 2007, the Board granted a motion to hold hearings in Chicago
and Joliet. On November 20, 2007, a hearing officer order set the dates for the hearings,
but noted that the specific locations in Chicago and Joliet would be announced later. The
hearings in Chicago began on January 28, 2008.
2
Based on the progression of the Chicago hearings, the hearing officer order
directing that testimony be prefiled for the March 10, 2008 hearings is rescinded. The
Board will continue to hear testimony from the Agency during the March 10, 2008
hearings. Additional hearings will be set at a later date to allow for testimony of other
participants.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
