    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by G.T. Girard):
     
    On July 20, 2004, the Office of the Attorney General, on behalf of the People of the State
    of Illinois (People), filed a complaint against Village of Capron (Capron).
    See
    415 ILCS
    5/31(c)(1) (2002); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.204. The People allege that Capron violated Section
    18(a)(2) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 4/18(a)(2) (2002) and 35 Ill. Adm.
    Code 611.882 and 611.885. The People further allege that Capron violated these provisions by
    failing, in 2002, to provide consumer confidence reports (CCR) to the public water supply users
    and failing to certify to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency that the CCRs were
    provided. The complaint concerns Capron’s public water supply facility in Capron, Boone
    County.
     
    The Board accepts the complaint for hearing.
    See
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.212(c). A
    respondent’s failure to file an answer to a complaint within 60 days after receiving the complaint
    may have severe consequences. Generally, if Capron fails within that timefram
    e to file an
    answer specifically denying, or asserting insufficient knowledge to form a belief of, a material
    allegation in the complaint, the Board will consider Capron to have admitted the allegation. 35
    Ill. Adm. Code 103.204(d). The Board directs the hearing officer to proceed expeditiously to
    hearing.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
     
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on August 5, 2004, by a vote of 4-0.
