    AC 98-18
    (IEPA No. 58-98-AC)
    (Administrative Citation)
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
    This matter comes before the Board upon the February 27, 1998, filing of an
    administrative citation pursuant to Section 31.1 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415
    ILCS 5/31.1 (1996)) by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency). A copy of
    that administrative citation is attached hereto. Service of the administrative citation was made
    upon Michael Howell (respondent) on February 26, 1998. The Agency alleges that on January
    6, 1998, respondent, present owner and/or operator of a facility located in Williamson County
    and commonly known to the Agency as Carterville/Howell, violated Section 21(p)(1) of the
    Act (415 ILCS 5/21(p)(1) (1996)). The statutory penalty established for this 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 provision alleged in the
    administrative citation. Since there is one such violation, the total penalty to be imposed is set
    at $500.
    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 Illinois Environmental Protection Trust Fund, pay a penalty
    in the amount of $500, which is to be sent to:
    Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
    Fiscal Services Division
    1021 N. Grand Avenue East
    P.O. Box 19276
    Springfield, IL 62794-9276
    2. Respondent shall include the remittance form and write the case name and
    number and her social security or federal employer identification number on the
    certified check or money order.
    2
    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 172 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 16th day of April 1998 by a vote of 7-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
