    This matter comes before the Board upon a January 21,

    the Illinois Environmental Protection Act

    Service of the Administrative Citation was made upon Peabody Coal
    Company on January 14,
    1993.
    The County of Christian alleges
    that on December 8,
    1992,
    Peabody Coal Company, present owner
    and/or operator of a facility located in Christian County and
    commonly known to the Agency as Taylorville/Peabody Coal Company,
    violated Sections 21(p) (1) and 21(p) (4) of the Act.
    The
    statutory penalty established for each of these violations
    is
    $500.00 pursuant to Section 42(b)(4)
    of the Act.
    Peabody Coal Company has not filed a Petition for Review
    with the Clerk of the Board within 35 days of the date of service
    as allowed by Section 31.1(d)
    (2) of the Act.
    Therefore, pursuant
    to Section 31
    •
    1(d) (1), the Board finds that Peabody Coal Company
    has violated each and every provision alleged in the
    Administrative Citation.
    Since there are two

    violations, the total penalty to be imposed is set at $1,000.00.
