ORDER OF THE BOARD
(by B.
Forcade):
On
July
29,
1991,
Edgewood Bank Trust
389
(Vernon
F.
La
Chappelle,
Designee),
as
owner
and
operator
of
Scotty’s
Incorporated, filed a petition for review of an Underground Storage
Tank Reimbursement Determination.
On
August
5,
1991,
the
Illinois
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(“Agency”)
filed
a letter
in which the Agency agrees that
the $100,000 deductible that was applied in this case should not
have been applied.
Having conceded that the $100,000 deductible
was incorrectly applied, the Agency seeks additional information
in order to determine whether the $10,000 or the $50,000 deductible
should apply.
The Agency states that if this case proceeds to hearing it
will not
support the $100,000 deductible
and
the
case will
be
remanded to the Agency.
The Board construes the Agency letter as
a confession of error.
That confession of error renders the only
conflict in this proceeding moot.
Therefore Edgewood Bank Trust
has prevailed in this proceeding.
Accordingly,
in the manner of
summary judgement, this matter is remanded back to the Agency for
a determination of the appropriate deductible and this matter is
closed.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
