RECOMMENDATION
NOW COMES the ILLINOIS ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
("Illinois EPA"), through its attorneys, and pursuant to 35 III
. Adm . Code 125
.204 of the
ILLINOIS POLUTION CONTROL BOARD'S ("Board") procedural regulations, files
the Illinois EPA's Recommendation in the above-referenced request for tax certification
of pollution control facilities
. In support thereof, the Illinois EPA states as follows
:
On December 30, 2004, the Illinois EPA received a request and supporting
information from MARATHON ASHLAND PETROLEUM, LLC, ("Marathon")
concerning the proposed tax certification of certain air emission sources and/or
equipment located at its Robinson refinery in Crawford County, Illinois
. A copy of the
relevant portions of the application is attached hereto
. Exhibit A] .
2
.
The applicant's address is as follows
:
Marathon Ashland Petroleum, LLC
Refinery Office Building
Robinson, Illinois 62454
The pollution control facilities involved in this request are located at the
aforementioned address and consist of the installation of equipment and associated piping
to facilitate emissions control in the refinery operations
. The equipment, described as
ELECTRONIC FILING, RECEIVED, CLERK'S OFFICE, JANUARY4, 2006
* * * * * PCB 2006-123 * * * * *
the Chloride Reduction-Debutanizer Net Gas Scrubber, is primarily designed to remove
chlorides from the Plutlbnner excess hydrogen stream
. Additionally, a hydrogen sulfide
analyzer was added so that the excess hydrogen stream could he put into the fuel gas
system .
4 .
Section 11-10 of the Property Tax Code, 35 ILCS 200/11-10 (2002),
defines "pollution control facilities'' as :
"any system, method, construction, device or appliance appurtenant
thereto, or any portion of any building or equipment, that is designed,
constructed, installed or operated for the primary purpose of
: (a)
eliminating, preventing, or reducing air or water pollution . .
. or (b)
treating, pretreating, moth lying or disposing of any potential solid, liquid,
gaseous pollutant which tf released without treatment, pretreatment,
modification or disposal might he harmful, detrimental or offensive to
human, plant or annual life, or to property .''
5 .
Pollution control facilities arc entitled to preferential tax treatment, as
provided by 35 ILCS 200/11-5 (2002) .
6 .
Based on information in the application and the underlying purpose of the
Chloride Reduction-Debutanizer Net Gas Scrubber to prevent, eliminate or reduce air
pollution, it is the Illinois EPA's engineering judgment that the described project and/or
equipment may be considered as `pollution control facilities -
in accordance with the
statutory definition and consistent with the Board's regulations at 35 111
. Adm. Code
125 200 . [Exhibit BI .
7.
Because the Chloride Reduction-Debutanizer Net Gas Scrubber satisfies
the aforementioned criteria, the Illinois EPA recommends that the Board grant the
applicant's requested tax certification .

From: Don Sutton '0F'S
Subject :
Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC TC-04-30-12F
This Agency received a request on December 30, 2004 from Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC for an
AdmIllinois
. Code
EPA recommendation
125 .204. I offer
regarding
the following
tax certification
recommendationof
air pollution
.
control facilities pursuant to 35 III
.
The air pollution control facilities in this request include the following
:
Chloride Reduction-Debutanizer Net Gas Scrubber whose primary purpose is
to reduce emissions from the Platformer excess hydrogen stream
. Because the primary
purpose of this unit is to reduce or eliminate air pollution, it is certified as a pollution
control facility .
This facility is located at 100 Marathon Avenue, Robinson
The property identification number is Part of 51-34-1-21
Based on the information included in this submittal, it is my engineering Judgement that
the proposed facility may be considered "Pollution Control Facilities" under 35 IAC
125.200(a),
with the primary purpose of eliminating, preventing, or reducing air pollution,
or as otherwise provided in this section, and therefore eligible for tax certification from
the Illinois Pollution Control Board
. Therefore, it is my recommendation that the Board
issue the requested tax Certification for this facility
.
