    (Administrative Citation)
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by J. Theodore Meyer):
    This matter comes before the Board upon the June 25, 1996 filing of an administrative
    citation pursuant to Section 31.1 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) by the County of
    Jackson (County). A copy of that administrative citation is attached hereto. Service of the
    administrative citation was made upon Greg Burris, individually and d/b/a Burris Disposal
    Service (Burris) on July 10, 1996. The County alleges that on June 4, 1996, Burris, present
    owner and/or operator of a facility located in Jackson County and commonly known to the
    County as Carbondale/Burris Disposal Service site, violated Sections 21(p)(1), 21(p)(4), and
    21(p)(6) of the Act. The statutory penalty established for each violation is $500.00 pursuant to
    Section 42(b)(4) of the Act.
    Burris 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 Burris has violated the provisions alleged in the administrative
    citation. Since there are three (3) such violations, the total penalty to be imposed is set at
    $1,500.00.
    1.
    It is hereby ordered that, unless the penalty has already been paid, within 30
    days of the date of this order, Burris shall, by certified check or money order
    payable to the Jackson County Treasurer, pay a penalty in the amount of
    $1,500.00, which is to be sent to:
    Shirley Dillinger Booker
    Jackson County Treasurer
    Murphysboro, Illinois 62966
    2.
    Respondent shall include the remittance form and write the case name and
    number and its social security or federal employer identification number on the
    certified check or money order.
    2
    3.
    Penalties unpaid after the due date shall accrue interest pursuant to Section 42(g)
    of the Act.
    4.
    Payment of this penalty does not prevent future prosecution if the violation
    continues.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    Section 41 of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/41 (1994)) provides for
    the appeal of final Board orders within 35 days of the date of service of this order. The Rules
    of the Supreme Court of Illinois establish filing requirements. (See also 35 Ill. Adm. Code
    101.246 "Motions for Reconsideration".)
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
    the above order was adopted on the _____ day of ___________, 1996, by a vote of
    ______________.
