    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by B.
    Forcade):
    This matter comes before the Board on a petition for review
    of an administrative citation.
    The citation was filed on Nay 26,
    1992 and alleges that respondent, Lakewood Homes
    & Development
    Cc,
    Inc.
    (Lakewood),
    as the owner of property located in
    Northlake,
    has violated Section 21(p) (1)
    of the Environmental
    Protection Act
    (Act),
    (415
    ILCS 5/21(p) (1)
    (1992)), by causing or
    allowing open dumping of waste resulting in litter on the
    property.
    Lakewood filed a petition for review with the Board on
    June 29,
    1992.
    On March 25,
    1993, the Board found Lakewood Homes
    &
    Development Co.,
    Inc.
    in violation of Section 2l(p)(l) of the Act
    for allowing litter.
    The Board ordered Lakewood to pay a penalty
    of five hundred dollars
    ($500.00).
    The Board also instructed the
    Clerk of the Board and the Agency to file affidavits declaring
    their hearing costs within 30 days.
    The Clerk of the Board filed an affidavit of costs on March
    30,
    1993,
    stating that the Board’s hearing costs were eight
    hundred thirty dollars
    ($830.00).
    The Agency has not filed an
    affidavit of costs.
    Therefore,
    the total hearing cost to be assessed against the
    respondent
    is eight hundred thirty dollars
    ($830.00).
