    (Administrative Citation)
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
    This matter comes before the Board upon the May 20, 1996 filing of an administrative
    citation pursuant to Section 31.1 of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) by the County of
    LaSalle (County). A copy of that administrative citation is attached hereto, but will not be
    printed in the Board’s opinion volumes. Service of the administrative citation was made upon
    Lone Star Industries, Inc. (Lone Star) on May 16, 1996. The County alleges that on April 18,
    1996 and again on April 25, 1996 Lone Star, present owner and/or operator of a facility
    located in LaSalle County and commonly known to the County as Lone Star Industries, Inc.,
    violated Sections 21(p)(1), 21(p)(3), and 21(p)(4) of the Act. The statutory penalty established
    for each violation is $500 pursuant to Section 42(b)(4) of the Act.
    Lone Star 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)(2) of the Act. Therefore, pursuant to
    Section 31.1(d)(1), the Board finds Lone Star has violated the provisions alleged in the
    administrative citation. Since there are three (3) such violations, the total penalty to be
    imposed is set at $1,500.
    1.
    It is hereby ordered that, unless the penalty has already been paid, within 30
    days of the date of this order, Lone Star shall, by certified check or money
    order payable to the LaSalle County Department of Solid Waste Management,
    pay a penalty in the amount of $1,500, which is to be sent to:
    LaSalle County Department of Solid Waste Management
    119 West Madison Street
    Room 400
    Ottawa, IL 61350
    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.
    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 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
    ______________.
