NARRATIVE INSPECTION REPORT DOCUMENT
The purpose of this memorandum is to serve as the Narrative Inspection Report
Document of an inspection conducted at the subject site on June 3, 2004, by this author.
Paul Eisenbrandt, DLPC/FOS
—
Springfield Region, accompanied me on this inspection.
The inspection was conducted to follow up a Compliance Assistance Survey (CAS),
which was conducted on May 28, 2003, by this author. The CAS resulted in a finding
that the site was not in compliance with pertinent sections ofthe Illinois Environmental
Protection Act (Act) and regulations, Title
35,
Illinois Administrative Code, Subtitle G
(35
IAC). The CAS was followed by a letter from the Illinois EPA dated July 23, 2003.
That letter discussed the apparent violations and provided recommendations for cleanup
ofthe site. It required a return to compliance within 90 days ofthe date ofthe letter, via
cleaning the site and providing receipts documenting proper disposal ofwastes. The
respondent provided a written response dated October 17, 2003, with some receipts
documenting some cleanup, and requested a cleanup time extension. That extension was
granted in an Agency letter dated November 17, 2003, which granted a cleanup extension
until December 23, 2003. However, by the time ofthe. most recenfinspection a half-year
had passed since the required cleanup time without any further correspondence from the
respondent. As shown in this report, the June 3, 2004 inspection revealed that very little
has been done to achieve compliance and no additional receipts had been submitted.
The site is located at 5913 W. St. Anthony Road, Quincy, IL. However, in the
respondent’s October 17, 2003 letter, he provided an address of5920 St. Anthony Road
West. Regardless, the mailing address is: Ulrich Pallets, 5910 Dove Lane, Quincy, IL
62305. The respondents’ for the site are Robert Ulrich and Phylis Ulrich, because both of
them are on the Warranty Deed as site owners. However, The Illinois Secretary of
State’s Office web site lists a corporation name ofBob Ulrich Pallet, Inc. at 1913 5.
59th
St., Quincy, IL 62301. Robert Ulrich hasprovided a telephone number of: 2 17/224-
2568.
His FAX number is: 217/224-2577.
Legally and specifically, the site is located on that portion ofthe SE Quarter ofSection
Nine (9), in Township Two (2) South ofthe Base Line, Range Eight (8) West ofthe
Fourth Principal Meridian, bounded and described as follows, to wit: Commencing at the
Southeast corner of the Southeast Quarter ofsaid Section Nine (9), thence North along
the section line to the quarter quarter section line ofsaid Southeast quarter ofSection
nine (9), thence West along the quarter quarter section line a distance of720 feet, more or
less, to the centerline ofwhat is referred to as Frontage Road, thence following the
centerline of“Frontage Road” in a Southerly direction to a point where said centerline
intersects the South line of said Southeast Quarter ofSection Nine (9), thence East a
distance of340.73 feet, more or less, along the South line ofsaid Southeast quarter of
Section nine (9) to the place ofbeginning, subject to all rights-of-way for highway and
public roads along the North, West and South sides of said herein above described parcel,
and containing 13.97 acres, more or less. This is described in the Warranty Deed dated
July 23, 1979, No. 36669, Book 520, Page 3176, provided by request and courtesy of the
Adams County Health Department via fax. As previously mentioned, the owners ofthe
property are Robert and Phylis Ulrich.
Upon arrival at the site on the day ofthe inspection, the weather was sunny with an air
temperature ofapproximately 72 deg. F. Winds were southerly at approximately
5
mph.
Surface soil conditions mostly dry, but damp in places.
-
During the inspection, ten (10) photographs were taken with a digital camera. They show
the conditions at the site on the day ofthe inspection. From the photos and the
inspection, a partially computer generated sketch ofthe site was developed. It shows the
approximate layout ofthe site, as well as the locations and directions ofthe inspection
photos. The digital camera provides a three-digit number to each photograph, i.e., 001,
002, etc. This is how the photographs are referred to in this report and on the Digital
Photographs photocopies. However, to save space on the Site Sketch, real numbers were
used, i.e., 1, 2, etc. Copies ofthe Digital Photographs and the Site Sketch accompany
this report.
We arrived at the facility and asked for Mr. Ulrich. We were told that he was not there,
but he was a short distance away, and he would be called. Soon thereafter, Mr. Ulrich
arrived. Upon inquiry, he admitted that he had not done very much since he last updated
us (on October 17, 2003). He said that both ofhis daughters had received pace makers at
the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN). He stated that had taken his efforts away from
cleaning up the site. I told him that he seemed to have several employees, and since the
wastes were at the business, why hadn’t he had some ofthem clean it up. He said it was
his responsibility.
We walked back behind the facility approximately
75’
to an area where wastes in a
45’
x
20’ area were observed on a ravine wall during the CAS on May 28, 2003. Fresh soil and
some vegetation, mostly weeds, had sprung up out ofthe added soil. Upon inquiry, Mr.
Ulrich stated that was the area where cleanup had been conducted. I asked him if any of
the wastes were buried, and he said that they were not. I asked him why wood, apparent
tubing, some metals and other small areas ofwastes appeared to be popping out ofthe
2
new soil. This would be consistent with observing an area that had wastes buried and
later exposed via erosion. He stated that it must have been some small pieces that
somehow landed there after the soil was placed. There were also large pieces of
Styrofoam at the bottom ofthe ravine, which Mr. Ulrich admitted were wastes that had to
be removed to a landfill. See photo # 001.
We then proceeded to the northwest, where again, the metals and wood wastes were
observed. A large area ofmetals was observed during the CAS. These appeared to be
the same. Photo #s 003, 004, 005, 006, 007 and 010 show these metals and wood wastes.
Also observed were four largejunk trucks that Mr. Ulrich stated were bound for the
junkyard, as shown in photo # 008. An old black Chevrolet Monte Carlo was also
observed, as shown in photo # 009. Mr. Ulrich stated it was his son’s junk stock car that
was also destined for the junkyard. Mr. Ulrich openly admitted that the large amount of
mostly scattered metals and woodwastes were indeed wastes that needed to be removed.
He stated that he just needed more time to get it (cleanup) done.
During the inspection, several areas ofscattered litter, including wood wastes, metals and
some plastics, were observed. Ifall ofthe scattered wastes, other than vehicles, were
placed into a single pile, it is estimated that it would encompass an area approximately
150’ x 50’ x 3’ high. Also, the
two drums of suspected used oil, but ofunknown contents
during the CAS, were not observed. It is unknown what ever happened to those
suspected wastes. Therefore, the apparent violation ofthe regulations, 35 IAC, Sections
722.111 and 808.12 1, yet were not resolved.
At the end of the physical inspection, I told Mr. Ulrich that Ijust did not know what
direction the Illinois EPA would take on the condition ofthe site. I told him that he could
receive an Administrative Citation Warning Notice (ACWN) or a Violation Notice (VN).
However, I cautioned that since he had already been warned after the CAS, and since he
had agreed to clean up the site and did not do so in a timely manner, and since he had
received a cleanup time extension and then an additional half year without desired results,
that he may indeed receive an Administrative Citation (AC) that would carry a monetary
penalty.
During the inspection, apparent violations of the Act and the regulations, 35 IAC, were
observed. Those apparent violations of the Act are Sections: 2 1(a), 2 1(d), 21(d)(2),
21(e), 21(p)(l),
55(a).
Apparent violations ofthe regulations, 35 IAC, include Sections:
722.111, 808.121 and 812.101(a).
