On May 14, 2001, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency filed an administrative citation
with the Board against the City of Eldorado (Eldorado), pursuant to Section 31.1(b) of the

at a site located in Eldorado, Saline County, Illinois.
On June 14, 2001, Eldorado filed a petition for review of the administrative citation pursuant to
Section 31.1(d). 415 ILCS 31.1(d) (2000). The Board accepts this matter for hearing. The Board
reminds Eldorado that, after hearing, any person found to have violated the Act as alleged in the
administrative citation is liable to pay a penalty under Section 42(b)(4-5) of the Act of $1,500 per
violation, as well as any hearing costs incurred by the Board or the complainant. 415 ILCS 42(b)(4-5)
(2000).
The Board directs that this matter proceed to hearing as expeditiously as practicable. The
assigned hearing officer must set the matter for hearing in accordance with the requirements of the Act
and the Board’s procedural rules.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
