OF
ILLINOIS,
by

do
hereby submit this Stipulation and
Proposal for Settlement.

The parties further stipulate that this Statement of Facts is made and
agreed
upon
for purposes of settlement only and
that neither the fact that a party has entered into this
Stipulation,
nor any of the facts stipulated

shall
be introduced
into evidence in this or
any other proceeding except
to enforce the terms
hereof by the parties to this agreement.
Notwithstanding the previous sentence,
this Stipulation and
Proposal for
Board
(“Board”) Order
accepting
same may

every one of the terms
and

conditions
of the settlement set forth herein.
JURISDICTION
The Board

IV.
STATEMENTOF FACTS
Pursuant to the requirements of35
III. Adm. Code 103.302 (2001), the parties submit
2

the following stipulation
of facts pertaining to
the nature, extent,
and
causes
of the violations
and the nature of Respondent’s operations and
control equipment.
1.
The Complaint and this Stipulation
and
Proposal for Settlement
are brought
pursuant to the statutory authority of the Attorney General
to prosecute
civil actions
to obtain
civil penalties for violations of the Act, 415
ILCS 5/1
et
seq. (2002), and
at the request of the
Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency.
2.
Respondent
Elysium
Energy is a
limited liability corporation,
registered
in Illinois.
The registered agent
is Don
Butler,
C.T.
Corporation,
208 South
LaSalle Street,
Chicago,
IL
60604.
3.
Respondent Elysium
Energy owns and
operates an
operating oil field
maintenance facility located
on
rural property near West Liberty, Jasper
County,
Illinois (the
“facility”).
The facility is located
.4
miles west of the intersection of Route
130 and 25, about
three-fourths
mile west of West
Liberty and 9.5 miles south of Newton,
Illinois.
The facility was
used
as a storage facility for oil field equipment
and
supplies.
Elysium acquired
the facility from
the bankruptcy estate of Equinox Oil Company in November 2000.
It is Respondent Elysium’s
contention that
at the time of the acquisition, the facility was in
a state of neglect.
It is the
Respondent’s
contention
that Elysium
recognized the condition of the facility and
began
operations to
restore the facility in August 2001
and that this work
included hiring
outside
contractors to
perform removal
and restoration
work.
It is Respondent Elysium’s contention
that this restoration project resulted,
in part,
in certain conditions observed
by
Illinois EPA
inspectors which formed
the basis of this lawsuit.
4.
On August 27 and
28, 2001,
the
Illinois
EPA conducted
an inspection
of the
facility.
At the time of the inspection,
on August 27, 2001, the inspector observed an
area of
approximately 20 drums
that had been
crushed and were
leaking
a dark, amber-colored
substance onto the ground.
One of the drums
had
“scale remover” still
legible on
a
label, but
3

the rest of the drums were
either unmarked or unreadable.
The inspector observed that the
substance leaking from the drums appeared
and felt oily,
and
it emitted
a
heavy, oily,
organic
odor.
A subsequent
pH test of samples of the leaking
substance did
not register because of
the organic nature of the spilled
material.
5.
At the time of the inspection
on August 27, 2001,
the inspector observed an area
east of the drum site that consisted of a large
burn
pile with
burned and
charred wood,
metal
and the remains
of at least two tires.
6.
At the time of the inspection
on August 27, 2001,
a roll-off container was
located
outside a building
on the west side of the property.
The inspector observed
that the container
was filled with mostly
old office furniture,
but also
contained one five-gallon bucket that was
observed
to
be leaking
an
amber-colored liquid.
The inspector observed
that the
liquid
leaking
from the five-gallon bucket was flowing
out of the corner of the roll-off box onto the ground.
7.
At the time of the inspection on
August 27, 2001, the inspector observed several
drums inside buildings or just outside the doors of several
buildings
that appeared
to be
in good
shape and
carried labels indicating the contents consisted of crankcase oil for heavy
machinery.
8.
On August 28, 2001, the Illinois EPA conducted another inspection
of the facility.
Two representatives of Respondent Elysium
Energy accompanied
the inspector
at the time of
the inspection.
At
the time of the inspection,
the Respondent’s representatives provided the
-
-
inspector with
copies of MSDS sheets for the four types of chemicals handled
at the plant.
The
four chemicals identified
by the Respondent’s
representatives were scale
remover,
corrosion
inhibitors,
paraffin
inhibitor and emulsion
breakers.
All of these chemicals contain a large
percentage
of petroleum naphtha, possibly making them a hazardous waste.
The results of
sampling indicated
that the substances on the property at
the spill site at the time of the
inspection
indicated the wastes were
not regulated
hazardous wastes and
did
not have
4

hazardous
characteristics.
However, the wastes were of a nature
considered special wastes.
9.
Complainant alleges that by causing or allowing
the consolidation
and
crushing
of approximately 20
drums of special waste; the consolidation
and
burning of wood,
metal and
tires; the placement of a roll-off container containing waste
and a
bucket leaking
a
liquid
substance onto the ground, and the existence and accumulation
of drums containing crankcase
oil at
its facility, Respondent
Elysium
Energy has
caused or allowed the open
dumping
of waste
at its facility in
a manner that h~s
resulted
in
litter, opening
burning
and
standing or flowing
liquid
discharge from the dump site
and has
thereby violated
Sections 21(a),
(e) and
(p)(1), (3)
and
(6) of the Act, 415
ILCS 21(a),
(e),
(p)(1),(3) and (6)(2002).
10.
Complainant alleges that by failing to
determine if
liquids contain
in
drums
at the
facility were
hazardous wastes before the drums were disposed
of by open dumping,
Respondent Elysium
Energy has violated 35
III.
Adm.
Code 722.111.
11.
Complainant alleges that
by failing to
determine
if liquids
contained
in drums at
the facility were special wastes
before the drums were disposed of by open dumping,
Respondent Elysium has violated 35
III. Adm.
Code 808.121 (a).
12.
Complainant alleges that by causing
or allowing
the combustion of wood,
metal
and
tires in the open and
in an open dump and, thereby, causing, threatening or allowing the
discharge or emission of
contaminants into the environment so as to cause or tend to cause air
pollution
in
Illinois, either alone or in combination with contaminants from other sources, and so
as
to
violate regulations or standards adopted by the Board
under this Act, Respondent Elysium
Energy has violated
Section
9(a) and
(c) and
Section 21(o)(4) of the Act, 415 ILCS 5/9(a),
(c),
and 21(o)(4) (2002).
13.
Complainant alleges that by causing
or allowing
the open dumping
and open
burning of
used or waste tires at
its facility, Respondent Elysium
Energy has violated
Section
55(a)(1) and
(2) of the Act, 415
ILCS 5/55(a)(1),(2) (2002).
5

V.
FUTURE PLANS OF COMPLIANCE
The
Respondent ELYSIUM
ENERGY,
LLC shall diligently conform to the Act, 415 ILCS
5/1
etseq.
(2002), and
the Board’s regulations,
35111. Adm.
Code,
Subtitles A through H
(2001).
VI.
IMPACT ON
THE
PUBLIC RESULTING
FROM
NONCOMPLIANCE
Section 33(c) of the Act, 415
ILCS
5/33(c)
(2002),
provides:
***
c.
In
making its orders and
determinations, the Board shall take
into
consideration
all the facts and
circumstances bearing
upon the
reasonableness of the emissions,
discharges, or deposits involved
including, but not limited to:
the character and degree of injury to,
or interference with
the protection of the
health,
general welfare
and physical
property of the people;
ii.
the social and
economic value of the pollution source;
iii.
the suitability or unsuitability of the pollution source to
the
area
in which
it is located,
including the question of priority
of location in the area involved;
iv.
the technical
practicability and economic reasonableness
of reducing
or eliminating the emissions, discharges or
deposits resulting
from such
pollution source;
and
v.
any subsequent compliance.
In
response to
these factors, the
parties incorporate by reference the Statement of Facts
and
also state
as follows:
1.
The injury to or interference with
the
health,
general welfare and
physical
property
of the people
caused by an
unpermitted storage and
disposal site where special
wastes have
been open dumped and
allowed to leak and flow
onto the ground
would
be
characterized as having
the potential for contaminating the land
and
any water that such wastes
6

may come in
contact with.
The degree of injury
could
be potentially severe.
2.
A site of open dumping
of special wastes that, as such, exists as an unpermitted
storage
and disposal site,
has no
social and
economic value.
An
oil field
maintenance facility
that is properly maintained
and
operated,
in compliance with all
applicable environmental laws
and
regulations,
does
have social and
economic value.
3.
The site is not suitable as a waste storage and
disposal
site,
in that its primary
use
is an
oil field
maintenance’facility and it is not permitted
as a storage and
disposal site for
special wastes.
4.
Compliance with the Act and
Board
regulations is technically practicable and
economically reasonable.
5.
Respondent remediated the property immediately.
All wastes were
removed
from the property and
layers of exposed
soil removed from the immediate site of dumping and
leaks.
The wastes and
impacted
soil were
properly disposed within a matter of weeks
of the
August 27 and
28,
2001
inspection.
Respondent incurred
costs of $15,526.77
to
perform these
tasks.
Respondent remained
in
contact with
and
cooperated with the Illinois
EPA throughout
the remediation.
Since the completion of the remediation,
additional funds have been
spent
and
23
Elysium employees
have completed the
40 hour HAZWOPER
training
and eight are
in
progress of completing
it.
An additional
19
employees are in the progress of completing the 8-
hour HAZWOPER training.
VII.
COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER LAWS AND REGULATIONS
This Stipulation
and
Proposal for Settlement in
no way affects the responsibility of
Respondents to
comply with
any federal, state,
or local laws or regulations,
including
but not
limited to the Act, 415
ILCS 5/1
et seq.
(2002),
and the Board’s rules and
regulations, 35
III.

Adm.
Code, Subtitles A through H
(2001).
VIII.
DETERMINATION OF APPROPRIATE CIVIL PENALTY
Section 42(h) of the Act, 415 ILCS 5/42(h) (2002), provides:
***
h.
In determining the appropriate civil penalty to be imposed under
subdivisions (a), (b)(1), (b)(2), (b)(3) or (b)(5) of this Section, the
Board
is authorized to consider any matters of record in mitigation
or aggravation of penalty, including, but not limited to the following
factors:
(1)
the duration and gravity of the violation;
(2)
the presence orabsence ofdue diligence on the
part of the violator in attempting to comply with the
requirements of this Act and regulations thereunder
or to secure relief therefrom as provided by this
Act;
(3)
any economic benefits accrued by the violator
because of delay in compliance with requirements;
(4)
the amount of monetary penalty which will serve to
deter further violations by the violator and to
otherwise aid
in enhancing voluntary compliance
with this Act by the violator and other persons
similarly subject to the Act; and
(5)
the number, proximity in time, and gravity of
previously adjudicated violations of this Act by the
violator.
In response to these factors, the parties incorporate by reference the Statement of Facts
and also state as follows:
1.
After acquiring the site, Respondent began site restoration activities in August,
2001.
It is unknown how longthe open dumping and leaking of wastes existed at the site prior
to the Illinois EPA’s August 27 and 28, 2001 inspection.
All wastes and impacted soil were
removed from the site within
approximately three weeks of the August 27
and 28, 2001
8

inspection.
2.
All wastes and impacted soil was removed fromthe site within approximately
three weeks of the August 27 and 28, 2001 inspection. A final determination as to the nature of
the waste was made in December of 2001, at which time the contained impacted soil and any
remaining contained wastes were properly disposed of.
3.
Complainant contends that Respondent would have realized economic benefit if
ithad been allowed to continue with its improper disposal of special waste.
In that Respondent
was required to remediate the site,
it realized no economic benefit from noncompliance.
Respondent contends that in that it promptlyremediated the site and that the conditions
observed by the
IllinoisEPAwere not the result of any systematic or planned storage or
disposal practices,
it realized no economic benefit from noncompliance.
4.
Complainant has determined,
in this instance, that a penalty of twenty-five
thousand dollars ($25,000.00), will serve to deter future violations and aid in future voluntary
enforcement of the Act and applicable Board rules and regulations.
5.
Respondent has no known history of prior adjudicated violations.
IX.
NONADMISSION OF LIABILITY
This
Stipulation and Proposal for Settlement
is entered
into for the purpose of settling
and compromising disputed claims without the expense
of contested
litigation.
By entering
into
this Stipulation and Proposal for Settlement and complying with its terms, Elysium Energy, LLC
does not
affirmatively admit the allegations of violation within the Complaint,
and this Stipulation
and Proposal for Settlement shall not be interpreted as including such admission.
