(90-Day Extension)
ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
On April 21, 2008, the Board received the parties’ joint notice to extend the 35-day
period within which Park Ridge/7-Eleven, Inc. (petitioner) may appeal a March 12, 2008
determination of the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency). Although the joint
notice was received by the Board after the initial 35-day appeal period, the joint notice was
timely-filed.
See
415 ILCS 5/40(a)(1) (2006); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.406. The joint notice,
which was sent by U.S. Mail, was postmarked April 16, 2008, and is deemed filed on that date
by procedural rule.
See
35 Ill. Adm. Code 101.300(b)(2). The Agency’s determination concerns
a leaking underground petroleum storage tank site located at 814 West Higgins Road in Park
Ridge, Cook County. In the determination, the Agency rejected petitioner’s corrective action
plan budget.
The Board extends the appeal period until July 17, 2008, as the parties request.
See
415
ILCS 5/40(a)(1) (2006); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 105.406. If petitioner fails to file an appeal on or
before that date, the Board will dismiss this case and close the docket.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
I,
John T. Therriault, Assistant Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that
the Board adopted the above order on May 1, 2008, by a vote of 4-0.
