    ORDER
    OF
    THE BOARD (by Jacob D, Durnelle):
    On
    February
    4, 1982 the Board ordered the County of Peor:La
    (County) and the Respondents (Second Chance) to provide to
    each
    other, to
    the
    Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency)
    and
    to the Board within
    14
    days of the date of that Order, all
    ~urther
    information not previously submitted concerning noise
    tests conducted
    at
    the lounge. Thirty-one days thereafter, the
    County and Second Chance were to comment regarding the present
    status of compliance and upon what penalty, if any, should be
    assessed. By Order of March 4, 1982, these dates were extended
    for fourteen days as requested by Second Chance.
    On February 15, 1982 and March 24, 1982 the County complied
    with these two Orders. As of the date of this Order, Second
    Chance has complied with neither.
    The County’s February 15 submission includes Agency noise
    test results from October 8, 1980 which indicate noise violations
    aL a date after which Second Chance’s remedial measures had been
    completed. According to
    the
    County’s latest submission, citizens
    have continued to complain about the noise levels.
    The Board has been more than patient in this matter and
    must now reach a final disposition of this matter.
    The County makes several recommendations as to abatement
    work including insulation of the roof and a noise monitoring
    and
    control system. The County also recommends “a substantial
    fine.” The Board will follow its recommendation in part.

    The Board will order Second Chance to insulate the roof of
    the lounge since that was recommended by its own consultant if
    further measures were to become necessary and because the roof
    is now, apparently, the predominant source of noise. That alone
    may remedy the problem. For that reason and since the Board has
    doubts as to whether the recommended noise monitoring and control
    system would be workable, the Board will not impose such a system
    upon Second Chance. The Board will, however, order that Second
    Chance cease and desist from noise violations from its lounge.
    Finally, the Board will impose a penalty to encourage Second
    Chance to become a more responsible neighbor and to follow
    applicable Board regulations and orders.
    It is hereby ordered that:
    1. Second Chance shall, within 45 days of the date
    of this Order, pay a penalty of $1,000 by certi-
    fied check or money order payable to the State
    of Illinois, to be sent to:
    Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
    Fiscal Services Division
    2200 Churchill Road
    springfield, Illinois 62706
    Respondents shall be jointly and severally
    liable for this penalty.
    2. Second Chance shall, within 90 days of the date
    of this Order, insulate the roof area of the
    subject facility so as to reduce noise emissions
    in accordance with the Thompson Electronics
    Company report which was done for the facility.
    3. Within 90 days of the date of this Order Second
    Chance shall cease and desist from violations of
    Rules 102, 203 and 207 of Chapter 8: Noise
    Pollution, and Section 24 of the Environmental
    Protection Act.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
