PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

NOW COMES the ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

(“Illinois EPA”), through its attorneys, and pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 125.204 of the

ILLINOIS POLUTION CONTROL BOARD’S (“Board”) procedural regulations, files

the Illinois EPA’s Recommendation in the above-referenced request for tax certification

of pollution control facilities. The Illinois EPA recommends a

grant

of the applicant’s

request. In support thereof, the Illinois EPA states as follows:

On August 30, 2006, the Illinois EPA received a request and supporting

information from LASALLE COUNTY FARM SUPPLY (“LaSalle County FS”)

concerning the proposed tax certification of certain air emission sources and/or

equipment located at its fuel bulk storage facility in Ottawa, LaSalle County, Illinois. A

copy of the relevant portions of LaSalle County FS’s application is attached hereto.

[Exhibit A]

The applicant’s address is as follows:

LaSalle County Farm Supply

2540 South Illinois Rte. 23

Ottawa Illinois 61350

ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, DECEMBER 28, 2006

* * * * * PCB 2007-051 * * * * *

The subject matter of this request consists of a Vapor Recovery System

that is associated with the fuel storage and truck loading/unloading facilities. The Vapor

Recovery System generally collects volatile organic materials that would otherwise be

emitted from process operations during the loading and unloading of gasoline and diesel

products stored in the storage tanks.

Section 11-10 of the Property Tax Code, 35 ILCS 200/11-10 (2004),

defines “pollution control facilities” as:

“any system, method, construction, device or appliance appurtenant

thereto, or any portion of any building or equipment, that is designed,

constructed, installed or operated for the primary purpose of: (a)

eliminating, preventing, or reducing air or water pollution… or (b)

treating, pretreating, modifying or disposing of any potential solid, liquid,

gaseous pollutant which if released without treatment, pretreatment,

modification or disposal might be harmful, detrimental or offensive to

human, plant or animal life, or to property.”

Pollution control facilities are entitled to preferential tax treatment, as

provided by 35 ILCS 200/11-5 (2004).

Based on information in the application and the underlying purpose of the

Vapor Recovery System to prevent, eliminate or reduce air pollution, it is the Illinois

EPA’s engineering judgment that the described project and/or equipment may be

considered as “pollution control facilities” in accordance with the statutory definition and

consistent with the Board’s regulations at 35 Ill. Adm. Code 125.200.

[Exhibit B].

Because the Vapor Recovery System satisfies the aforementioned criteria,

the Illinois EPA recommends that the Board

grant

the applicant’s requested tax

certification.

The Illinois EPA notes that the applicant has not documented whether the

cost estimate in its application is representative of the total costs for the fuel storage and

ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, DECEMBER 28, 2006

* * * * * PCB 2007-051 * * * * *

truck loading/unloading facilities in their entirety or for the vapor recovery system alone.

For purposes of this Tax Certification, preferential tax treatment should only be afforded

to the costs of the vapor recovery system.

Respectfully submitted by,

Memorandum

Technical Recommendation for Tax Certification Approval

2'

Farm Supply TC-06-08-30

This Agency received a request on August 30, 2006 from

LaSalle County Farm Supply for an Illinois

EPA recommendation regarding tax certification of air pollution control facilities pursuant to 35

111. Adm.

Code 125.204.

1 offer the following recommendation.

The air pollution control facilities in this request include the following:

Vapor Recovery System whose primary purpose is to reduce VOC emissions

to the atmosphere. Because the primary purpose of these units are to reduce or

eliminate air pollution, it is certified as a pollution control facility.

This facility is located at 2540 S.

11. 23, Ottawa

The property identification number is 22-25-333-000

Based on the information included in this submittal, it is my engineering Judgement that

the proposed facility may be considered "Pollution Control Facilities" under 35 IAC

125.200(a), with the primary purpose of eliminating, preventing, or reducing air pollution.

or as otherwise provided in this section, and therefore eligible for tax certification from

the Illinois Pollution Control Board. Therefore, it is my recommendation that the Board

issue the requested tax Certification for this facility.
