PETITION FOR

OF LUST
FUND REIMBURSEMENT
DECISION
Petitioner, RED ROOSTER CORPORATION f/k/a CLARK RETAIL
ENTERPRISES, iNC. (“Petitioner”), pursuant to Sections 40 and 57.8(i) ofthe Illinois
Environmental Protection Act (“Act”) (415 ILCS 5/40 and
5/57.8(i)),
and Subpart D of
35 Ill. Admin. Code Part 105, hereby requests review ofthe final decision by the
Respondent, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“Agency”), denying Petitioner’s
request for reimbursement of certain corrective action costs incurred in response to two
releases of petroleum from underground storage tanks (“USTs”). In support ofthis
Petition, the Petitioner states as follows:
1.
Petitioner is a former operator ofcertain property located at 4805 North
War Memorial Drive in Peoria, Illinois, hereinafter referred to as “the site.”
2.
Petitioner formerly operated the USTs located at the site.
3.
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency was notified of two releases
from the above-described USTs, in accordance with applicable requirements. Thereafter,
Petitioner performed corrective action in response to these releases, in accordance with
applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.
4.
On June 25, 2002, Petitioner submitted an application for payment to the
Agency for corrective action costs incurred in response to releases from the above-
described USTs, in accordance with the applicable requirements.
5.
On December 6, 2004, the Agency issued its final decisionregarding the
June 25, 2004, application for payment. The Agency’s December 6, 2004, determination
stated that certain costs included in the application for payment were not eligible for
payment from the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Fund (“LUST Fund”), because
they lacked supporting technical documentation, and further statedthat this decision
constituted “the Agency’s final action with regard to the above invoices.” ($~Exhibit A
attached.)
6.
On January 13, 2005, the Agency and Petitioner provided the Illinois
Pollution Control Board (“Board”) with a joint Request forNinety Day Extension of
Appeal Period, pursuant to Section 40(a)(1) ofthe Act (415 ILCS 5/40(a)(1)) and 35 Ill.
Admin. Code Section 105.208. On January 20, 2005, the Board issued an Order granting
the extension request and extended the time for filing an appeal ofthe Agency’s
December 6, 2004, final determiriation until April 14, 2005.
7.
Petitioner is seeking review of the Agency’s denial of reimbursement of
certain corrective action costs incurred by Petitioner in response to releases ofpetroleum
from USTs at the site as described in Exhibit A. The Agency’s stated basis for its denial
of reimbursement ofthese costs is arbitrary, capricious, and without statutory authority.
Furthermore, the Agency is bound on review by the reasons given in its December 6,
2004, denial letter regarding access to the LUST Fund.
2
WHEREFORE, for the above and foregoing reasons, Petitioner, RED ROOSTER
CORPORATION f/k/a CLARK RETAIL ENTERPRISES, INC., respectfully requests
that the Illinois Pollution Control Board grant the following relief:
1.
Find that the Agency’s December 6, 2004, final decision is arbitrary and
capricious, and without statutory authority;
2.
Reverse the Agency’s decision denying certain corrective action costs as
set forth above;
3.
Remand this matter to the Agency with instructions to issue payment of
Petitioner’s corrective action costs as provided for by the Act, but not inconsistent with
the Board’s Order, within 30 days of its entry;
4.
Award Petitioner reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses incurred in
bringing this action; and
5.
Award such further relief as deemed just and equitable in these premises.
Respectfully submitted,
