    (Administrative Citation)
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
    This matter comes before the Board upon the October 3, 1996 filing of an
    administrative citation pursuant to Section 31.1 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) by
    the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Agency). A copy of that administrative citation
    is attached hereto. Service of the administrative citation was made upon Browning-Ferris
    Industries of Iowa, Inc. (Quad Cities Landfill) (respondent) on September 30, 1996. The
    Agency alleges that on August 15, 1996 respondent, present owner and/or operator of a
    facility located in Rock Island County and commonly known to the Agency as Quad Cities
    Landfill, violated Section 21(o)(11) of the Act. The statutory penalty established for this
    violation is $500 pursuant to Section 42(b)(4) of the Act.
    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. Therefore, the Board
    finds respondent has violated the provision alleged in the administrative citation. Since there is
    one (1) such violation, the total penalty to be imposed is $500.
    1.
    It is hereby ordered that, unless the penalty has already been paid, within 30
    days of the date of this order, respondents 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
    2200 Churchill Road
    P.O. Box 19276
    Springfield, Illinois 62794-9276
    2.
    Respondent shall include the remittance form and write the case name and
    number and his 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.
    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 (1994)) provides for
    the appeal of final Board orders to the Illinois Appellate Court within 35 days of the date of
    service of this order. The Rules of the Supreme Court of Illinois establish filing requirements.
    (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 _____ day of ___________, 1996, by a vote of
    ______________.
