This matter comes before the Board upon
the
April 18,

filing of an Administrative Citation pursuant to Section 31.1 of
the Illinois Environmental Protection Act (Act)
by Sangamon
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 Halverson
Construction Company,
Inc. on March 18,
1994.
The County alleges
that on January 24,
1994, Halverson Construction Company,
Inc.,
present owner and/or operator of a facility located in Logan
County and commonly known to the County as Clearlake
Twp./Malverson Construction-I—72, violated Sections 21(p) (1)
and
21(p) (3) of the Act.
The statutory penalty established for each
violation is $500.00 pursuant to Section 42(b) (4) of the Act.
Halverson Construction Company,
Inc. 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.
However, on May 26,
1994, the parties filed a stipulation
agreement.
In this agreement the County agrees to dismiss the
Section 21(p) (1)
litter violation. The respondent admits the
Section 21(p) (3) open burning violation, and agrees to pay a
$500.00 penalty by May 23,
1994. The Board accordingly dismisses
the litter violation. Therefore, pursuant to Section 31.1(d) (1),
the Board finds that Halverson Construction Company,
Inc., has
violated the provision alleged in the Administrative Citation as
amended by the May 26,
1994 stipulation.
Since there is one
(1)
such violation, the total penalty to be imposed is set at
$500.00.
1. It is hereby ordered that, unless the Denaty
has alreadY been
paid, within 30 days of the date of this order Halverson
Construction Company,

Employer Identification Number on the certified check or money
order.
3. Penalties unpaid after the due date shall accrue interest
pursuant to Section 42(g)
of the Illinois Environmental
Protection Act.
4. Payment of this penalty does not prevent future prosecution if
the violation continues.
Section 41 of the Environmental Protection Act,
(415 ILCS 5/41
(1~92)),provides for appeal of final orders of the Board within
35 days.
The Rules of the Supreme Court of Illinois establish
