    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
    On October 22, 2001, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) timely
    filed an administrative citation against Charles Goodwin (Goodwin).
    See
    415 ILCS 5/31.1(c)
    (2000); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.202(c). The Agency alleges that Goodwin violated Section
    21(p)(1) of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/21(p)(1) (2000)). The Agency further
    alleges that Goodwin violated these provisions by causing or allowing open dumping of waste
    resulting in litter at a facility in Pike County.
     
    As required, the Agency served the administrative citation on Goodwin within “60 days
    after the date of the observed violation.” 415 ILCS 5/31.1(b) (2000);
    see also
    35 Ill. Adm. Code
    108.202(b). On November 9, 2001, Goodwin timely filed a petition to contest the administrative
    citation.
    See
    415 ILCS 5/31.1(d) (2000); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 108.204(b). A petition for review
    must include a reason why the respondent believes the citation was improperly issued.
    See
    35
    Ill. Adm. Code 108.206. Goodwin failed to include a reason in his petition. Accordingly, the
    Board grants Goodwin leave to file an amended petition for review. If an amended petition
    curing these deficiencies is not filed within 35 days of the date of this order, that is on or before
    December 20, 2001, a default order may be entered.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
     
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on November 15, 2001, by a vote of 7-0.
     
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
