    employed at all times pertinent hereto.
    2. On September
    9,
    2008 between 10:10 AM and 10:50 AM, Affiant conducted
    an
    inspection of
    a
    disposal site operated without an Illinois Environmental
    Protection
    Agency permit, located in Morgan County, Illinois, and known as
    Waverly/Kissick #2
    by
    the Illinois
    Environmental Protection
    Agency.
    Said site has been assigned site code
    number LPC# 1370455012 by the Illinois Environmental Protection
    Agency.
    3.
    Affiant inspected said
    Waverly/Kissick #2 open dump site
    by
    an on-site inspection,
    which included a
    walk through of the site and photo documentation of site
    conditions.
    4. As a result of the
    activities referred
    to
    in
    paragraph
    3
    above, Affiant
    completed
    the
    Inspection Report
    form attached hereto and made
    a part
    hereof, which, to the best
    of
    Affiant’s

    factual
    conclusions with respect to said Waverly/Kissick
    #2 open dump.

    Mr.
    Mark Weber
    Division
    of Land Pollution
    Control/Field
    Operations
    Section
    (DLPC/FOS)
    - Springfield
    Regional
    Office (SRO)
    conducted
    an
    inspection
    of the
    Kissick
    #2
    site in Waverly,
    Illinois.
    The Illinois
    EPA site
    inspection
    was conducted
    based
    upon
    two complaints
    received
    by the
    SRO.
    One of
    the
    complainants
    indicated
    that
    the
    property
    owner had
    been bringing
    junk
    vehicles,
    used
    tires, furniture
    and
    leaking
    fuel tanks
    to the property.
    The
    other
    complainant
    reported
    that
    Mr.
    Kissick
    had crushed
    a fuel
    tank
    before emptying
    the
    contents
    which resulted
    in
    a
    release
    of fuel
    onto
    the ground.
    The
    Kissick
    #2
    site is
    located at
    391 West
    Tanner
    in
    Waverly, Illinois.
    Legally
    and
    specifically
    the property
    is located
    at Lot
    Five
    (5)
    in R.P. Droke’s
    First
    Addition
    to the
    Town,
    now
    city
    of
    Waverly,
    Morgan
    County,
    Illinois.
    The legal
    description
    was derived
    from
    a
    Warranty
    Deed
    recorded
    on March
    31,
    2008
    with the
    Morgan
    County
    Recorder’s
    Office. The
    owner
    on
    the deed
    is listed
    as
    Charles L.
    Kissick.
    Mr. Kissick’s
    mailing
    address
    is provided
    as 3249 Loami
    Road
    in Alexander,
    Illinois.
    September
    9,
    2008
    Inspection
    The Illinois
    EPA inspection
    of
    the
    Kissick
    #2 site took
    place between
    1010 and
    1050.
    The
    temperature
    was
    approximately
    550
    fahrenheit.
    The
    skies were
    partly
    cloudy with
    a
    10
    20
    mile
    per
    hour
    northeast wind.
    Soil
    conditions
    were
    wet/saturated
    due to
    recent
    heavy rains.
    There
    is
    no residence
    at the
    property
    as
    it had been
    recently
    demolished.
    Mr.
    Kissick
    was not present
    during the
    site
    inspection.
    Mr. Kissick
    had
    purchased
    the
    property from
    Mr.
    Randy
    Long.
    It is important
    to note
    that this
    site was subject
    to two
    separate
    site
    inspections
    on April 9,
    2007 and
    a
    re-inspection
    on
    September
    14,
    2007.
    At the time
    the
    property was
    owned by
    Mr. Randy
    Long.
    Mr.
    Long
    was
    sent
    an
    Administrative
    Citation
    Warning
    Notification
    (ACWN)
    as a
    result
    of the
    initial inspection
    in which
    a number
    of
    violations
    of the
    Environmental
    Protection
    Act were
    cited. Open
    dumped
    wastes
    included
    scrap
    metal,
    used
    tires,
    lead
    acid batteries,
    white
    goods,
    and
    automotive
    parts.
    Based
    upon
    the
    available
    Bureau
    of Land
    file
    information
    it
    does not appear
    that any
    effort
    was made
    by
    Mr. Long
    to
    return to
    compliance.
    1

    The
    solid
    waste dumped on-site
    is easily
    visible
    from
    West Tanner
    Street.
    Wastes
    observed during the
    September
    9,
    2008 inspection
    included
    dimensional
    lumber,
    furniture, plastics,
    a
    number
    of
    compressed
    gas cylinders,
    electronics,
    mixed metals,
    construction
    & demolition
    debris, and
    white goods. The
    total
    volume
    of open dumped
    solid
    waste
    is estimated
    at 30 — 40 cubic
    yards.
    Also located on-site are
    approximately
    20
    used
    tires
    and at least
    one lead acid
    automotive
    battery. There is
    also an unlicensed/abandoned
    vehicle
    at the property.
    This inspector
    also observed
    a
    partially
    crushed above
    ground
    storage
    tank
    (AST).
    The total
    volume
    of
    the AST
    was
    estimated
    at 200
    gallons.
    The
    type
    of tank is
    consistent
    with
    those
    used
    to
    contain
    fuel
    oil.
    Soil
    underneath
    and
    around
    the fill cap
    of the upended
    AST was
    darkly
    stained
    which
    is indicative
    of the contents
    of the tank spilling
    directly
    onto
    the soil.
    Mr.
    Kissick
    will need to determine
    whether
    or not the
    spilled
    material
    is either a
    hazardous
    or
    special waste in order
    to determine an
    appropriate disposal
    method.
    Much
    of the on-site soil
    appeared
    to
    have been recently
    disturbed.
    It was learned that
    Mr.
    Kissick
    had demolished
    the residence at
    the property
    which resulted
    in the construction
    and demolition
    debris
    illegally open dumped
    on-site. Mr.
    Kissick
    reportedly
    filled
    the
    basement
    of the former residence
    with
    broken up concrete
    and soil. It
    was also reported
    that
    all of the dimensional
    lumber, shingles,
    wallboard, and
    insulation
    had been removed
    prior to backfilling.
