ILLINOIS POLLUTION CONTROL BOARD

IN THE MATTER OF:

R06-20

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE

(Rulemaking – Land)

BOARD’S SPECIAL WASTE REGULATIONS

CONCERNING USED OIL

35 ILL. ADM. CODE 808, 809

NORA’S MOTION FOR

EXTENSION OF TIME TO

FILE COMMENTS

NORA, An Association of Responsible Recyclers (“NORA”) hereby requests an

extension of time in which to submit pre-filed comments to the Board. NORA requests that

NORA be allowed until Monday, September 22, 2008 to submit its pre-filed comments.

The reason for this request is a fire which occurred on September 11

th

and 12

th

which

consumed much the law office and records of NORA’s General Counsel, Christopher Harris. A

newspaper article concerning the file appeared in the Bozeman (Montana) Daily Chronicle on

September 13 and can be read on-line (bozemandailychronicle.com).

The records included

numerous documents relating to the rulemaking in the above-captioned matter. In addition to the

destruction of the documents, there has been a major disruption of normal law office

communications such as the fax line. Diligent efforts are being made to reconstruct the file in

this matter.

The undersigned has contacted Stephanie Flowers, counsel for the Illinois EPA in this

matter, who stated that she has no objection to the proposed extension.

Respectfully submitted,
