OPINION
AND
ORDER OF THE BOARD:
This matter comes before the Board upon a one—count
complaint filed June 27,
1994, by Roland W. Burns, Attorney
General of the State of Illinois, on behalf of the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency and the People of the State of
Illinois, against Division Lead Limited Partnership, an Illinois
Corporation located at 7742 West 61st Place, in the City of
Summit, Cook County,
Illinois.
The complaint alleges that
Division Lead Limited Partnership has violated Section 25b-2 of
the Illinois Environmental Protection Act
(Act) (415 ILCS
5/25b—
2) pertaining to toxic chemical release reporting requirements.
Pursuant to 415 ILCS 5/31(a) (2), the parties filed a joint
Motion requesting relief from the Act’s hearing requirement on
June 27, 1994.
The Board published a notice of the waiver on
June 30,
1994;
no objection to grant of the waiver was received.
Waiver of hearing is hereby granted.
The parties filed a Stipulation and Settlement Agreement on
June 27,
1994.
The Stipulation sets forth facts relating to the
nature, operations and circumstances surrounding the claimed
violations.
Division Lead Limited Partnership admits the alleged
violations and agrees to pay a civil penalty of two thousand four
hundred dollars ($2,400.00).
The Board finds the settlement agreement acceptable under 35
Ill. Adm. Code 103.180.
This settlement agreement in no way
affects respondent’s responsibility to comply with any federal,
state or local regulations, including but not limited to the Act
and the Board’s pollution control regulations.
This opinion constitutes the Board’s findings of fact and
conclusions of law in this matter.
