    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by C.A. Manning):
     
    On December 12, 2001, the Office of the Attorney General, on behalf of the People of the
    State of Illinois (People), filed a complaint against Millenium Recycling and Solid Waste
    Consultants, Inc. (Millenium).
    See
    415 ILCS 5/31(c)(1) (2000); 35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.204. The
    People allege that Millenium violated Sections 21(a), 21 (d)(1), 21(e), and 21(p)(1) of the
    Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/21(a), (d)(1), (e), and (p)(1) (2000)). The People
    further allege that Millenium violated these provisions by conducting a waste disposal operation
    without a permit, and causing or allowing litter. The complaint concerns Millenium’s facility at
    31W620 Spaulding Road, Elgin, Cook County.
     
    The Board accepts the complaint for hearing.
    See
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.212(c). A
    respondent’s failure to file an answer to a complaint within 60 days after receiving the complaint
    may have severe consequences. Generally, if Millenium fails within that timeframe to file an
    answer specifically denying, or asserting insufficient knowledge to form a belief of, a material
    allegation in the complaint, the Board will consider Millenium to have admitted the allegation.
    35 Ill. Adm. Code 103.204(d). The Board directs the hearing officer to proceed expeditiously to
    hearing.
     
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
     
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, certify that the Board
    adopted the above order on December 20, 2001, by a vote of 7-0.
     
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
