RECOMMENDATION
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:
1.
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]
.
2.
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 * * * * *
3.
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.
4.
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.”
5.
Pollution control facilities are entitled to preferential tax treatment, as
provided by 35 ILCS 200/11-5 (2004).
6.
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].
7.
Because the Vapor Recovery System satisfies the aforementioned criteria,
the Illinois EPA recommends that the Board
grant
the applicant’s requested tax
certification.
8.
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,
ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
AGENCY

liquid
being
stored in the tank(s).
If flammabldcumbustible liquids are accepted for the
general

Pipe lines shall
have
a definite color scheme
for
painting to indicate the product which is
being carried in respective lines. Valves on lines shall be tagged to denote the product
handled and controlled
by each valve.
Any indoor product piping shall bc
so
located that any leakage resulting horn pipe failure
would not unduly expose persons.
Piping shall
be
arranged
so
leakage can readily be
controlled by operation of
an
accessible remotely located valve(s).
Any indoor product piping shall be of steel or nodular iron, or otherwise be protected by
materials
having a Cue rcsistatnce rating of no less than 2-hours.
In addition to any normal valves, there
must
be an extra valve at each pipe line connection to
any tank below nomi liquid level, which valve is effective intide the tank shell and is
operated both manually and by an effective heat actuated device which, in the case of fire,
will automatically close the valve to
prevent
the flow of liquid fmm the tank even though
the pipe
lines are broken from
the
tank.
Thew
extra
valves are not required in crude oil
tanks in
oil fields, on tanks at refineries,
or
on
ranks
at tmninals which
are
equipped with a
swing
line or where facilities are provided to transfer
the
contents of the tank
to
another tank
in case of fire.
On
tanks installed prior to April 14, 1977, emergency check valves may be
extemal,
ifthe size of the

provided:
a)
Thc
valve used incorporates a shear section, and
b) The valve is
so installed that any undue strain beyond

valve will not cause
failure
between
the valve

c) When
an

has been
completed and before the proposed tanks are filled with product in
order that an on-site
inspection can be scheduled. The findings of this rrview are effective for a
period of one

not
made
within this

The Office of the State Fire Marshal will conduct
an inspeetion as soon as possible alter
notification of the

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.
