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 November 2, 2006, the Illinois EPA received a request and supporting
information from LOGAN AGRI SERVICE, INC., (“Logan Agri Service”) concerning
the proposed tax certification of certain air emission sources and/or equipment located at
its fuel bulk storage facility in Griggsville, Pike County, Illinois. A copy of the relevant
portions of Logan Agri Service’s application is attached hereto.
[Exhibit A]
.
2.
The applicant’s address is as follows:
Logan Agri Service
Illinois Rte. 107 South, P.O. Box 555
Griggsville, Illinois 62340
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
ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, DECEMBER 28, 2006
* * * * * PCB 2007-052 * * * *
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
truck loading/unloading facilities in their entirety or for the vapor recovery system alone.
ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, DECEMBER 28, 2006
* * * * * PCB 2007-052 * * * *
For purposes of this Tax Certification, preferential tax treatment should only be afforded
to the costs of the vapor recovery system.

Inc. TC-06-11-02
This Agency received a request on November 02. 2006 from Logan Agri Service. Inc. 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 Rt. 107 South, Griggsville
The property identification number is 44-033-07
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.
