ORDER OF THE
BOARD
BY
(J.
C. Marlin):
This matter comes before the Board on a January
4,
1991
“Motion For Leave to Withdraw Petition For Review”
filed by
the
respondents, James Gilmer and Archer—Daniels—Midland.
The
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
(Agency)
filed these
administrative citations with the Board on December 13,
1989.
James Giliner filed a petition for review with the Board on
January 8,
1990.
Archer-Daniels-Midland filed a petition for
review with the Board on January 16,
1990.
The Board granted the
complainants’ motion to consolidate on March 22,
1990.
A hearing
was held in this matter on July 31,
1990.
The Board hereby
grants respondents’ motion to withdraw the petition for review.
On December 13,
1989,
two Administrative Citations were
filed with the Board pursuant to Section 31.1 of the Illinois
Environmental Protection Act
(Act)
by the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency.
A copy of those Administrative Citations is
attached hereto, but will not be printed in the Board’s Opinion
Volumes.
Service of the Administrative Citations was made upon
James Gilmer and Archer-Daniels-Midland on December 13,
1989.
The Agency alleges in AC 89-289 that on October 16,
1989, James
Gilmer, present operator of a facility located in the County of
Douglas, violated Section 21(
q) (1) of the Act.
In AC 89-290 the
Agency alleges that Archer-Daniels—Midland violated Section
118—51
2l(q)(l)
of the Act.
The statutory penalty established for each
violation is $500.00 pursuant to Section 42(b)(4)
of the Act.
The respondents have now withdrawn their petitions for
review.
Therefore, pursuant to Section 31.1(d) (1), the Board
~finds that James Gilmer has violated the provisions alleged in
the AC 89-289.
The Board also finds that Archer-Daniels-Midland
has violated the provisions alleged in AC 89-290.
Since there
is one
(1) violation in AC 89-289 and one
(1) violation in AC 89-
290, the total penalty to be imposed on James Gilmer is $500.00
and the total penalty to be imposed on Archer-Daniels-Midland is
$500. 00.
It is hereby ordered that, unless the penalties have already
been paid, within 30 days of the date of this Order James Gilmer
and Archer-Daniels-Midland shall, by certified check or money
order payable to the State of Illinois and designated for deposit
into the Environmental Protection Trust
Fund, pay a penalty in
the amount of $500.00 each, which is to be sent to:
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
Fiscal Services Division
2200 Churchill Road
Springfield, IL.
62706.
For purposes of review, today’s action constitutes final
action on Docket A in this matter, dealing with the civil penalty
for
a violation of Section 21 of the Act.
The Clerk is hereby
ordered to open Docket B in this matter pertaining to hearing
costs pursuant to Section 42(b) (4)
of the Act.
In addition to the above penalty, James Giliner and Archer-
Daniels-Midland shall pay any hearing costs incurred by the Board
and the Agency.
Therefore, within 30 days of this Order, the
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency shall file a statement
of hearing costs with the Board, supported by affidavit and with
service upon James Gilmer and upon Archer—Daniels—Midland.
Within that same 30 days, the Clerk of the Pollution Control
Board shall file a statement of the Board’s costs,
supported by
affidavit and with service upon James Gilmer and upon Archer—
Daniels-Midland.
Such filings shall be entered in Docket
B.
Respondents are hereby given leave to file a reply/objection
to the filings as ordered above within 45 days of this Order.
Section 41 of the Environmental Protection Act,
Ill. Rev.
Stat.
1987 ch. 111 1/2, par.
1041, provides for appeal of final
Orders of the Board within 35 days.
The Rules of the Supreme
Court of Illinois establish filing requirements.
