    This matter comes before the Board upon a complaint filed
    May
    3,
    1990, on behalf of the People of the State of Illinois
    (“People”), by and through its attorney,
    Neil F. Hartigan,
    Attorney General of the State of
    Illinois, against ITW Magnaflux,
    a division of Illinois Tool Works (“Magnaflux”), located
    in
    Harwood Heights,
    Cook County,
    Illinois.
    The complaint alleges
    that Magnaflux has violated Section
    9(b) of the Illinois Environ-
    mental Protection Act
    (“Act”),
    Ill. Rev. Stat.
    1989,

    et.
    seq.,
    and 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 201.143 of the
    Board’s rules and regulations.
    Hearing on this matter was held June
    25, 1990,
    in Chicaco,
    Illinois.
    At hearing,
    the parties submitted
    a Stipulation and
    Settlement Agreement which was unexecuted by the parties.
    The
    executed Stipulation was submitted on September 6,
    1990.
    The
    Stipulation sets forth facts pertaining to the nature,
    operations, and circumstances surrounding the claimed
    violations.
    Magnaflux admits to past violations of Section 9(b)
    of the Act and
    35 Iii. Adm. Code 201.143 and agrees to pay a
    civil penalty of three thousand dollars
    ($3,000).
    Magnaflux
    further agrees to cease and desist from the alleged violations.
    The Board finds
    the Settlement Agreement acceptable under
    35
    Ill. Adm.
    Code 103.180.
    This Settlement Agreement in no way
    affects respondent’s responsibility to comply with any federal,
    state or local regulations,
    including but not limited to the Act
    and the Board’s pollution control regulations.
