The proposed water pollution control facilities in this request are located at
Section 28, T7N, R6W
ofthe 4th P.M. in Hancock County, at the above street

Section 11-10 ofthe Property Tax Code, 35 ILCS 200/11-10 (2006), defines

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, 35 ILCS
200111-5.
6.
Based on the information in the application and the purpose of the facilities, it is
the Illinois

of eliminating, preventing, or reducing
water pollution, or as otherwise provided in
35 Ill. Adm. Code 125.200, and are

The Bureau of Water received a request on December 28,2007 from Wildcat Farms, LLC for an Illinois EPA
recommendation regarding the tax certification of water pollution control facilities pursuant to 35 II. Adm. Code
125.204. We offer the following recommendation.
The water pollution control facilities in this request include the following:
Wildcat Farms,
LLC
2558 North County Road 2150
Dallas City, IL 62330
Section
28, TIN, R6W of the 4th P.M. in Hancock County
Livestock waste management facilities consisting
of one concrete pit (48 ft. x 52 ft. x 2 ft. deep) and the
portion
of the plastic slotted flooring over the manure pit in Building # I; one concrete pit (61 ft. x 280 ft. x
2
ft. deep) and the portion of the concrete slotted flooring over the manure pit in Building # 2; one concrete
pit (118 ft. x 441 ft. x 2 ft. deep) and the portion of the concrete slotted flooring over the manure pits in
Building # 3; one concrete
pit (159 ft. x 473 ft. x 2 ft. deep) and the portion of the plastic and cast iron

# 4; one concrete pit (118 ft. x 441 ft. x 2 ft. deep) and the
portion
of the concrete slotted flooring over the manure pit in Building # 5; one steel glass lined manure
storage tank with concrete base (176
ft. in diameter x 19 ft. deep); and approximately 800 ft. of 10 inch
diameter
PVC manure transfer piping. These livestock waste management facilities are used to collect,
transport, andlor store livestock wastes prior to cropland application.
These facilities are further described in the enclosed applications and supporting documents.
Based on the infonnation included in this submittal, it is
our engineering judgment that the above proposed facilities
may be considered "Pollution Control Facilities" under 35 lAC 125.200(a), with the primary purpose of eliminating,
preventing,
or reducing water pollution, or as otherwise provided in this section, and therefore eligible for tax
certification from the Illinois
Pollution Control Board. The Bureau of Water therefore recommends that the Board
issue the requested
tax certification for these facilities.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please contact James Allison at 2171782-3362.

Attached Sheet in Support of Application for Certification of Pollution Control Facility
For Wildcat Farm LLC
Page 1 Section D of the fonn-
Wildcat Farm LLC is a swine farm with 5 separate buildings that house swine.
Each of these building has manure storage capacity in below ground level concrete pits.
Also integrated into the design is specially designed flooring material that separates the
animals
from the manure holding area yet allows the manure to pass thru the floor into
the holding area. In buildings 1
&
4 there are two special types of flooring that allow for
the manure to pass into the storage area. A portion ofthe flooring in building 4 is made
from cast iron with a slatted pattern. In building I
&
a portion of building 4 the flooring
is made of slatted plastic material. In buildings 2, 3
&
5 the floor is made of steel
reinforced concrete slats.
All of these floor types efficiently allow for the manure to pass
into the storage 'area.
The manure storage area beneath each building is approx 2 ft deep. Primary manure
storage is accomplished by two above ground storage tanks that'will hold approx 12
months worth of manure produced by the facility. The outside storage units are 176 ft in
diameter
&
19 feet tall. They are constructed of steel with a glass like material covering
to resist corrosion. Underground sewer lines allow for gravity transfer of manure from
the buildings to a central pump location. The underground sewer lines are made with 10'
PVC. There is approx 800 feet ofthis pipe that connects the buildings to the special
pump
found in the lift station. Manure is then pumped from this "lift station" into the
storage
tanks. Manure is retained by these structures to prevent it from leaving the farm
and reaching surrounding water sources. The nearest body of water is a pond approx 300
yards from the nearest building. Multiple times each year the manure is pumped out of
the pits and injected into surrounding farmland at ergonomically appropriate rates.
Collection efficiency
of this design of pollution control facility is 100%.
On the accompanying diagram the buildings are identified as Buildings 1-5 with approx.
dimensions listed at the top of each. The diagram also shows the pattern of the
underground sewer lines that drain the buildings manure to the lift station where the
material is pumped into the storage tanks.
