    (Administrative Citation)
    OPINION AND ORDER OF THE BOARD (by E.Z. Kezelis):
    This matter is before the Board on an administrative citation filed by the Illinois
    Environmental Protection Agency (Agency) on February 4, 2000. In the administrative
    citation, the Agency alleges that the respondent, Raymond Pollock (Pollock), violated Section
    21(p)(1) of the Environmental Protection Act (Act) (415 ILCS 5/21(p)(1) (1998)). The Agency
    alleges that the violation occurred at a facility located in Douglas County, Illinois. On February
    17, 2000, Pollock filed a petition for review of the administrative citation.
    On May 5, 2000, the parties submitted a “Joint Stipulation of Settlement and Dismissal
    of Respondent’s Petition for Administrative Review.” Pursuant to the terms of the joint
    stipulation of settlement, Pollock agrees to admit the violation of Section 21(p)(1) of the Act;
    pay the $1,500 statutory penalty; cease and desist from further violations; and remove and
    properly dispose of any waste located at the Douglas County facility. Additionally, Pollock
    moves to dismiss his petition for review.
    The Board grants the motion and hereby dismisses Pollock’s petition for review.
    Pursuant to Section 31.1(d) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/31.1(d) (1998)), the Board finds that
    Pollock violated the provision alleged in the administrative citation, and finds that the
    appropriate penalty pursuant to Section 42(b)(4) of the Act (415 ILCS 5/42(b)(4) (1998)) is
    $1,500.
