AFFIDAVIT
I, Michelle M. Ryan, being first duly sworn upon oath, depose and state as follows:
1.
I am employed by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency ("Illinois EPA"), as
Assistant Counsel for the Bureau of Land.
2.
As part of my duties, I am responsible for the preparation of Administrative Citations
issued by the Illinois EPA and the negotiation and litigation of appeals filed pursuant to such
Administrative Citations. As part of my job experience, I have also submitted travel vouchers for
reimbursement.
3.
I have reviewed the Illinois EPA Division of Legal Counsel File 96-06-AC, which
relates to AC
06-49, Illinois EPA v. Michael Gruen and Jon Gruen d/b/a Jon's Tree Service,
for the
purpose of determining the costs expended by Illinois EPA.
4.
I was the Illinois EPA attorney assigned to handle the hearing for AC 06-49, which
was held in Carlinville. I was required to travel from Springfield to Carlinville and back for the
hearing. The Illinois Department of Transportation map of the State of Illinois indicates that the
distance between Springfield and Carlinville is 54 miles. Based on my own job experience, I am
aware that the approved mileage reimbursement rate in March 2007 was $.445 per mile.
5.
As the attorney currently assigned to handle Administrative Citations, I am aware that
Illinois EPA incurs costs for copying documents, preparation of documents for mailing and service,
and certified and first class mailings. Based upon my review of 96-06-AC, I estimate that these

costs expended by Illinois EPA on this Administrative Citation through the hearing date approximate
$35.00.
FURTHER AFFIANT SAYETH NOT.
Subscribed and Sworn to before
me this 21" day of February, 2008.
