    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by M. McFawn):
    This matter
    is before the Board
    on a joint stipulation of settlement and dismissal filed
    by the parties on April
    1,
    1996.
    This administrative
    citation
    was originally filed by
    complainant
    Illinois Environmental Protection Agency on April
    22,
    1994,
    and respondent
    Frank Blair filed his
    petition for review on May 20,
    1994.
    In the joint stipulation of settlement,
    the parties state that they have engaged in
    negotiations and have reached a settlement agreement.
    As part of this agreement,
    respondent
    Frank Blair admits
    that he caused or allowed litter in violation of Section 2l(p)(l) ofthe
    Environmental
    Protection Act
    (Act) (415 ILCS
    5/21(p)(1)
    (1994)), as alleged in the
    administrative
    citation.
    Respondent further agrees to pay the statutory penalty of
    $500
    in full,
    on or before April
    28,
    1997,
    and
    requests
    that the Board dismiss
    his petition for review in this
    case.
    The proposed settlement agreement does not preclude
    enforcement against respondent
    for any future violations of local, state, federal, or common law,
    including
    but not limited
    to
    violations of the same type
    and nature as those enumerated in the April
    22,
    1994
    administrative citation.
    The Board hereby accepts the stipulated settlement
    agreement proposed by the parties.
    The attached order
    therefore finds respondent Frank Blair in violation of Section 2l(p)(l) of
    the Act,
    assesses the statutory penalty of
    $500,
    and directs respondent Frank Blair to
    pay such
    penalty
    on or before April
    28,
    1997.

    to the
    Illinois

    Penalties unpaid after the due date shall accrue
    interest pursuant to
    Section
    42(g) of the Illinois
    Environmental Protection
    Act.

    Payment of this penalty does not prevent future prosecution if violations
    continue.

    hereby closed.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.

    of the Environmental Protection Act (415 ILCS 5/41
