ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by J.D. Dumelle):
On December
1, 1986,
the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency (Agency)
filed
the administrative citation against the
Town of Atkinson
(Town)
for violations of Sections 21(p)(5),
21(p)(l) and 21(p)(12)
of the Environmental Protection Act.
The
citation sought
a $1,500.00 civil penalty.
The Town filed
a
petition for review on January
5,
1987.
On March 25,
1987, the
Agency filed
a motion for leave to file an amended citation,
which motion was granted on April
1,
1987.
The amended citation
seeks
a $500.00 civil penalty for violation of Section 21(p) (12)
of
the Act.
On April
20,
1987,
the Agency filed
a statement with the
Board that the civil penalty imposed had been paid
in full on
April
10, 1987, and that there was, therefore,
no need for
a
hearing.
The Board construes the Town’s action as
a motion
for
withdrawal of
its petition for review.
The Board accordingly
dismisses the petition for review, and finds that the Town of
Atkinson has violated the provision alleged
in the Amended
Administrative Citation.
Since there
is one such violation,
the
total penalty imposed
is set at $500.00.
The Board has been
informed that the penalty has been paid.
If, however,
the
information
filed with the Board
is inaccurate,
either party may
timely move the Board
for reconsideration of this Order.
It
is hereby ordered that,
unless
the penalty has already
been paid, within 30 days of the date of this Order the Town of
Atkinson shall,
by certified check or money order payable to the
State of Illinois and designated
for deposit into the
Environmental Protection Trust Fund, pay
a penalty
in the amount
of $500.00 which is
to be sent to:
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
Fiscal Services Division
2200 Churchill Road
Springfield, IL 62706
IT IS SO ORDERED.
