On July

the Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency (Agency)

filed a Motion

to Amend Complaint on

its Face.

The Agency requests that the administrative citation

in this

matter be amended by deleting paragraph A(ii) which alleges

violation of Section 21(q)(4)

of the Environmental Protection Act

(Act).

Correspondingly the Agency also seeks that the requested

civil penalty be reduced from $1000

to $500.

The Agency states that it has been able

to “negotiate a

quick cleanup of the open dump, permanent closure of the site,

implementation of measures to prevent reoccurance of open dumping

in the area, and an agreement by the respondent

to pay the $500

civil penalty....”

The Agency further asserts

that “the public

interest

is better served if a portion of the requested civil

penalty were to be used to help correct the pollution problem and

thereby enhance the environment”.

The Agency’s motion

is granted, and the administrative

citation

is amended as requested.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
