    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by M. McFawn):
    Pursuant to 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.241(a), the Board today corrects a typographical
    error in its February 5, 1998, order in the above-captioned enforcement action. The total
    penalties assessed against respondent ESG Watts, Inc., add up to $655,200, not $680,200 as
    was stated in the February 5 order. Accordingly, paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Board’s February
    5 order are hereby amended to provide as follows:
    2.
    For the reasons set forth in the foregoing opinion, the Board hereby assesses the
    following penalties against ESG Watts: $232,000 for violations found under
    count I, $212,500 for violations found under count II, $120,000 for violations
    found under count III, and $90,700 for violations found under count V, for a
    total penalty of $655,200.
    3.
    ESG Watts must pay $655,200 on or before April 2, 1998. Such payment must
    be made by certified check or money order payable to the Treasurer of the State
    of Illinois, designated to the Environmental Protection Trust Fund, and must be
    delivered to:
    Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
    Fiscal Services Division
    1021 North Grand Avenue East
    Springfield, IL 62702
    ESG Watts must write its Federal Employer Identification Number on the
    certified check or money order. Any portion of the penalties assessed not paid
    by April 2, 1998, will incur interest at the rate set forth in Section 1003(a) of
    the Illinois Income Tax Act (35 ILCS 5/1003(a)), as now or hereafter amended,
    from the date payment is due until the date payment is received. Interest will
    not accrue during the pendency of an appeal during which payment of the
    penalty has been stayed.
    2
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that
    the above order was adopted on the 19th day of February 1998, by a vote of 6-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
