TIME CERTAIN WAIVER OF STATUTORY DECISION DEADLINE
NOW COMES the Petitioner, W. R. MEADOWS, INC., pursuant to 35 III. 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 final settlement agreement that defines the scope of the actions
needed
to
resolve the
permitting and compliance issues involving Petitioner's Kane County
facility. The terms and conditions of the final settlement have been reviewed and approved by
W.R. MEADOWS, INC.,
Petitioner,
VS.
ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION AGENCY,

80262968v1 865433
Respondent's management. Counsel for the parties represent that this matter and related Case
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.
3.?
To allow sufficient time for the parties to memorialize the parties' settlement,
Petitioner waives the current statutory decision deadline of August 29, 2008, and requests a 90-
day extension to November 27, 2008, for the Board's decision in this proceeding.
