    OPINION
    OF THE BOARD
    (by Mr. Dumelie):
    An Amended Complaint was filed in this case on February 21,
    1978,
    The
    Complaint alleged that Respondent had accepted certain
    wastes at a solid waste disposal site without prior Agency
    authorization,
    failed to apply adequate cover,
    threatened and
    caused water pollution, and allowed open burning.
    A hearing was
    held on August
    22,
    1978 at the St. Clair County Courthouse
    in
    Believille,
    Illinois.
    No members of the public were present.
    At the hearing a Stipulation and Proposal for Settlement
    was offered in lieu of any evidence.
    The Stipulation was executed
    by the Aqency and SCA Services of Illinois,
    Inc.,
    Respondent’s
    successor.
    The terms
    of the Stipulation were incorporated in
    a
    Board Order dated November
    2,
    1978.
    The Stipulation states that Respondent operates the
    1a~qestlandfill in downstate Illinois on a 265 acre site north
    of East St. Louis in
    St. Clair County.
    Disposal operations were
    moved across Old Cahokia Creek to a more suitable area after this
    case was filed.
    A series of dates are listed on which Respondent
    violated Rule 5.08 of the Department of Public Health Rules and
    Rules
    310(b)
    and 311,
    305(a) and 305(c)
    of the Board’s Solid
    Waste Regulations.
    No water pollution violations were admitted.
    As
    a settlement Respondent proposes
    to conform its operations
    with certain plan sheets on file with the Agency.
    The old site
    shall
    be closed by November
    15,
    1978 with a compacted layer
    of one foot of suitable material.
    From May
    1,
    1979--September
    1,
    1979 an additional foot of cover shall be applied.
    Timely
    com-
    pliance with each date shall be insured with two performance bonds.
    32—69
    —2—
    A specific mode of operation is prescribed for the new site.
    Finally, the Stipulation calls for the revocation and re-
    issuance of
    certain operating permits and payment of
    a $10,000
    penalty.
    The Board
    finds that the Stipulation and Proposal for
    Settlement represents
    an adequate resolution of this case.
    This Opinion constitutes the Board’s
    findings of fact and
    conclusions
    of
    law
    in
    this
    matter.
