PETITION FOR

OF
FINAL
AGENCY
LEAKING UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANK DECISION
The petitioner, Johnson Oil Company, LLC (“Johnson Oil”), pursuant to Sections
40(a)(l) and
57.7(c)(4)(D)
ofthe Illinois Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS
5140(a)(l)
and
57.7(c)(4)(D))
and 35 III. Adm. Code 105.400-412, hereby requests that
the Illinois Pollution Control Board (“Board”) review the fmal decision ofthe Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency (“Agency”) in the above-referenced case. In support
thereof, Johnson Oil respectfully states as follows:
I.
Facts and Procedural History
1. Johnson Oil formerly owned and operated a gasoline service station on
property located at 629 West Champaign Road, Rantoul, Champaign
County, Illinois (the “Site”). On August 2, 2000, Johnson Oil reported a
release ofpetroleum at the Site and the Site was assigned Incident No.
20001456. Johnson Oil retained American Environmental Corporation to
complete Site Investigation and Corrective Action, including preparation
of Site Investigation and Corrective Action Plans.
2. On November 17, 2003, American Environmental Corporation submitted
on behalfof Johnson Oil a High Priority Corrective Action Plan
1
(“HPCAP”) and Budget for investigation to define the extent of
contamination and for a pilot study to evaluate the Method ofMulti-phase
Extraction to remediate contamination.
3. On March 19, 2004, the Agency issued a Final Decision to Johnson Oil in
which the HPCAP was approved with modifications to the Budget, a copy
ofwhich is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
4. On April 27, 2004, Johnson Oil made writtenrequest to the Agency for an
extension oftime by which to file a petition for review. The Agency
joined in Johnson Oil’s request that the Board extendthe thirty-five day
period for filing a Petition for Review by an additional ninety days, a copy
ofwhich is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
5. On May 6, 2004 the Board entered an Order to extend the time in which
Johnson Oil could file a Petition for Review for an additional ninety days,
up to and including July 28, 2004, a copy ofwhich is attached as Exhibit C.
6. The grounds forthe Petition for Review are as follows:
II.
The HPCAP and Budget
Johnson Oil’s consultant, Simon P. Broomhead, P.G. ofAmerican
Environmental Corporation, prepared the November 17, 2003 HPCAP and
Budget in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act (“Act”) and
regulations, in addition to generally accepted engineering practices. Mr.
Broomhead is a Licensed Professional Geologist with ten (10) years experience in
the environmental consulting industry. The HPCAP detailed the procedures
necessary to define the extent ofresidual contamination and evaluate the proposed
method ofcorrective actioft
In accordance with 35 Ill. Adm. Code 732.404(f), the Budget included an
estimate of all costs associated with the implementation and completion ofthe
Corrective Action Plan. The budget also included personnel costs for activities
which had been completed and for which copies of invoices were provided to
2
document such costs. These costs were reasonable and were necessary to achieve
the applicable remediation objectives, including the minimum requirements for
corrective action required under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 732.404 and 732.505. The
personnel activities included in the budget consisted of:
• Completion ofa geoprobe investigation to establish that
contamination extends off-site,
• Obtaining and updating access agreements for neighboring
properties,
• Evaluation ofdata and Site conditions to determine the most
effective and economical method of Corrective Action,
• Preparation ofCorrective Action Plan and Budget,
• Preparation ofreimbursement claims,
• Completion ofadditional investigation, including soil and
groundwater sampling, and
• Completion of a pilot study to evaluate the method ofMulti-phase
Extraction for the remediation ofresidual contamination.
ifi.
Budget Expenses That Were Improperly Disallowed
The Agency approved the HPCAP in a March 19, 2004 letter to Johnson
Oil. However, the personnel costs in the associated budget were modified down
to an unreasonable level with no justification forthe reductions. The Agency
unjustifiably reduced the budget forpersonnel costs from $34,239.25 to
$9,100.00. Furthermore, the reduced personnel costs of$9,100.00 did not even
cover the $16,421.75 ofcompleted personnel costs for which documentation was
provided. The Agency’s reduction for personnel cost was without any technical
justification and was arbitrary and capricious.
The Agency deducted $1,453.00 for monitoring well, manway installation,
and well materials, alleging that the well and manway installation costs should be
included with the monitoring well installation materials. However, these same
3
monitoring well and inanway installation costs were previously approved when
presented in the Budget approved on October 31, 2001 for this Site. No details
were provided for the deductions from the well installation materials, except that
they were unreasonable. The Agency’s reduction for monitoring well, manway
installation, and well materials was without any technical justffication and was
arbitrary and capricious.
The Agency also deducted $36.00 for report shipping costs, alleging that
these costs are indirect corrective action costs charged as direct costs. The
referenced costs were clearly identified in the budget forthe shipment ofrequired
plans and claims to the Agency attd are therefore direct costs. The November 17,
2003 HPCAP and budget does not include indirect costs, which would be such
things as shipping costs for stock items, computer time, telephone toll charges,
etc. The Agency’s reduction for report shipping costs was without any technical
justification and was arbitrary and capricious.
Mr. Broomhead, other environmental consultants from American
Environmental Corporation, and other qualified experts will testify that the
approved budget forthe HPCAP is vastly below industry norms, is not
reasonable, and violates 35 Ill. Adm. Code Sections 732.505 and 732.605.
Furthermore, the HPCAP cannot be implemented with the unreasonably low
budgetary amounts approved by the Agency. The budget approved by the
Agency is unreasonable, is arbitrary and capricious, and does not account for the
multiple investigations and corrective action activities which were proposed in the
approved HPCAP. Furthermore, upon information and belief, Johnson Oil alleges
that the Agency improperly utilized certain rate sheets to reduce the budget.
These rate sheets were not promulgated pursuant to the Illinois Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) and Illinois Ayers Oil Company vs. IEPA, PCB 03-214.
Thus, the budget approved by the Agency is invalid.
4
WHEREFORE, Petitioner, Johnson Oil Company, LLC, for the reasons
stated above and others that may be discernedthrough the course ofdiscovery,
requests that the Board reverse the Final Decision ofthe Agency and restore the
above-referenced personnel, drilling, and field purchase amounts as submitted in
Johnson Oil’s Budget associated with the November 17, 2003 HPCAP and
consultant and attorney’s fees incurred pursuant to 415 ILCS
5/57.8(1)
and 35 III.
Adm. Code 732.6O6(g).

Dear Mr. Bush:
The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (illinois EPA) has reviewed the High Priority Site
Investigation Corrective ActionPlan (plan) submitted forthe above-referenced incident. This infontation,
datedNovember 17,2003, was receivedbythe illinois EPA on November 21, 2003. This document was
originally submitted as a High Priority Site Investigation Corrective Action Budget however, due to
revisionsmade to the plan, whichwas previously approved,it is considered aRevised High Priority Site.
Investigation Corrective ActionPlan (plan). Citations in this letter are from the Environmental Protection
Act(Act) and 35 illinois Administrative Code (35 Ill;Adot. Code).
Pursuant to Section
57.7(c)(4)
of the Act and 35111. Adm. Code 732.405(c), the plan is modified. The
modifications listedbelow are necessary, in addition to those provisions already outlined in the plan, to
demonstrate compliance with Title XVI ofthe Actand 35111. Adni. Code 732. Please note that the
activities proposed in the plan are for investigative purposes only. Final approval for correctiveaction
activities is contingent uponthe submittalof aHigh Priority Corrective ActionPlan that documents the
results of the proposed investigation and satisfies the requirements set forth in Section
57.7(c)(1)
of the Act
and 35 Ill. Adm. Code 732.404. The required modification(s)is/are as follows:
Monitoring wells MW1O thru MW17 are only approved ifnecessary to define the plume. Specifically, if
the analytical results of MWI2 define the extent of contamination, thenMW16 andMW17 would be
unnecessary andtherefore ineligible forpayment. The same principal ofplume definitionwould also
apply to all other wells proposed in thisrevised plan (MW1O thru MW17).
In addition,the budgetforthe High Priority Site Investigation Corrective ActionNan is modified pursuant
to Section 57.7(c)(4) of the Act and 35 111. Adm. Code 732.405(c). Based on the modifications listed in.

has determined that these costs are not reasonable as submitted (Section 57.7(c)(4)(C) ofthe
Act and 35 lii. Adm. Code 732.606(hh)); One ofthe overall g~alsofthefinancial review is
to assure that costs associated ith materials;aëtivitiês, and serviôes are reasonable (35 Ill.

Well/manhole installation cost should be included with the monitoring well installation
materials. In addition the monitoringwell installation materials listed on page E-2 Of the
budget are unreasonable.
-
The Personnel cost deducted from the previous budget remain unreasonable.
Personnel costs for the Pilot Study were considered separately from the previous personnel
costs (listed above) and the personnel costs for site investigation activities (listed below).
Personnel costs for the final HPCAPand budget should be included with the plan and budget
andwill be addressed at that time. These costs should not be included with the additional site
investigation. The personnel costs forthe site investigation activities include costs for the
installationand development of the wells andinterim report ofthe findings ofthe
investigation. The pilot study costs were not inchided in this amount.

$36.00 forreport shipping costs(FedEx). Indirect corrective action costs forpersonnel,
materials, service, or equipment charged as direct costs are ineligible forpayment from the
Fund
(35

3.
$61.62 for an adjustment in handling charges. Handling charges are eligible forpayment
onlyif they are equalto orless thanthe amount determined by the following table (Section
