RECOMMENDATION
Now Comes the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (“Illinois EPA”), through its
attorneys, and pursuant to Section 125.204 ofthe Illinois Pollution Control Board’s (“Board”)
regulations, files the following Recommendation regarding the tax certification ofair pollution
control facilities pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 125.204.
1)
On April 22, 2003, the Illinois EPA received a request from Central Blacktop Company,
Inc. for an Illinois EPA recommendation regarding the tax certification ofair pollution
control facilities pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 125.204, and noted the request as log
number TC-03-04-22. (Exhibit A).
2)
The applicant’s address is:
Joseph E. Benson
•
Central Blacktop Company, Inc.
6160 S. East Ave.
Hodgkins, Illinois
60525
3)
The air pollution control facilities in this request are located at 6301 S. East Avenue,
Hodgkins, Cook County, property ID numbers: 18-22-100-004, 18-22-100-008, 18-22-100-
009, 18-22-100-010, 18-22-100-014, 18-22-100-015, 18-22-100-016, 18-22-100-017,
18-22-100-018, 18-22-100-020, 18-22-100-021 and consist ofthe following:
Baghouse with fabric filter type bags, fan and motor. Primary dust collection
cyclone, ductwork, screw conveyor, airlocks, bluesmoke package with fans and
ductwork, fans, motors, and compressors, gas fired burner with dustfines removal
and metering which are all pollution control devices whose primary purpose is the
removal ofparticulate matter. Particulate matter is a regulated air contaminate.
Because the primary purpose ofthis system is to reduce or eliminate air pollution,
it is certified as a pollution control facility.
4.
Section 11-10 ofthe Property Tax Code, 35 ILCS 200/11-10 (2000), defines “pollution
control facilities” as: “any system, method, construction, device or appliance appurtenant
thereto or any portion ofany 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, modifying or disposing of any
potential solid, liquid or gaseous pollutant which if released without treatment,
pretreatment modification or disposal might be hannful, detrimental or offensive to
human, plant or animal life, orto property.”
5.
Pollution control facilities are entitled to preferential tax treatment, 35 ILCS 200/1
1-5
(2000).
•
6.
Based on the information in the application and the purpose ofthe facilities, to prevent,
eliminate orreduce air pollution, it is the Illinois EPA’s engineering judgment that the
described facilities may be considered “pollution control facilities,” pursuant to 35 Ill.
Adm. Code 125.200(a), with the primary purpose ofeliminating, preventing, or reducing
air pollution, or as otherwise provided in 35 Ill. Adm. Code 125.200. Therefore, the
facilities are eligible fortax certification from the Board.
7.
Therefore, the Illinois EPA recommends that the Board issue the requested tax
certification.

aspect of the mixing equipment is various pollution control
devices. The mixing equipment concerned and the overall
facility to which reference is ‘made constitutes 22 acres of land
situated upon an aggregate 29 acres which are designated by the
followin~property index numbers:
18-22-100-004
18-22-100-015’
‘
