(Administrative Citation)
ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
This matter comes before the Board upon the October 10, 1997, filing of an
administrative citation pursuant to Section 31.1 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) by
the County of Will (County). A copy of that administrative citation is attached hereto.
Service of the administrative citation was made upon Kavanaugh Enterprises, Inc., an Illinois
corporation (respondent) on October 10, 1997. The County alleges that on September 23,
1997, respondent, present owner and/or operator of a facility located in Will County and
commonly known to the County as the Kavanaugh Enterprises property, violated Sections
21(p)(1) and (p)(3) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/21(p)(1), (p)(3) (1996)). The statutory penalty
established for each violation is $500 pursuant to Section 42(b)(4) of the Act (415 ILCS
5/42(b)(4) (1996)).
Respondent 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)(1) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/31.1(d)(1)
(1996)). Therefore, the Board finds respondent has violated the provisions alleged in the
administrative citation. Since there are two (2) such violations, the total penalty to be imposed
is set at $1,000.
1.
It is hereby ordered that, unless the penalty has already been paid, within 30
days of the date of this order, respondent shall, by certified check or money
order payable to the County of Will, pay a penalty in the amount of $1,000,
which is to be sent to:
Will County Land Use Department
Solid Waste Division
Attn: Julie Juntunen
Environmental Enforcement Officer
501 Ella Avenue
Joliet, Illinois 60433

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.
3.
Penalties unpaid after the due date shall accrue interest pursuant to Section 42(g)
of the Act (415 ILCS 5/42(g) (1996)).
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 (1996)) provides for
the appeal of final Board orders to the Illinois Appellate Court within 35 days of service of this
order. Illinois Supreme Court Rule 335 establishes such filing requirements. See 145 Ill. 2d
R. 335; 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 20th day of November 1997, by a vote of 7-0.
Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
Illinois Pollution Control Board
