    CONCURRING OPINION
    (by 3.
    Theodore Meyer):
    I concur in the Board’s order simply to remind the parties
    and the public,
    that Section 42(f)
    of the Environmental
    Protection Act
    (Act)
    provides that the Board may award costs and
    reasonable attorney’s
    fees
    in cases brought on behalf of the
    people of the State of Illinois.
    (415 ILCS 5/42(f)
    (1992)).
    In
    the instant case,
    the complaint requests that the Board impose
    such costs and fees;
    however, the stipulation and settlement does
    not refer to this request, nor explain whether some percentage of
    costs and fees was figured into the penalty.
    I continue to
    believe that costs and fees should be pursued on behalf of the
    Illinois taxpayer,
    and urge the parties to bear this in mind in
    future negotiations
    in this case.
