    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J. Marlin):
    This matter
    is before the Board pursuant to
    a March
    8,
    1990
    Board Order.
    In that Order the Board ordered that unless action
    was taken by respondent,
    Land
    &
    Lakes
    Company,
    a default
    order
    would
    be
    entered
    against
    it.
    The
    respondent
    did not take
    any
    action
    with the Board
    during the time
    allowed.
    Therefore,
    the
    Board
    hereby
    orders
    a
    default
    order
    be
    issued
    against
    the
    respondent and that this case be closed.
    On July
    28,
    1989,
    an Administrative Citation was filed with
    the Board pursuant to Section 31.1
    of the Illinois Environmental
    Protection
    Act
    (Act)
    by
    the
    Illinois
    Environmental
    Protection
    Agency
    (Agency).
    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 the
    Land & Lakes Co. on July 28,
    1989.
    The Agency alleges that on May
    30,
    1989,
    the Land
    &
    Lakes
    Co.,
    present
    operator
    of
    a facility
    located
    in
    the
    County
    of
    Cook,
    violated
    Sections
    21(p) (5)
    and
    21(p) (1)
    of the Act.
    The statutory penalty established for each
    violation is $500.00 pursuant to Section 42(b)(4)
    of the Act.
    Subsequently,
    the
    complaint
    was
    amended
    to
    delete
    the
    violation
    of
    Section
    21(p) (1)
    and
    to
    reduce
    the
    civil
    penalty
    accordingly.
    Pursuant to Section 31.1(d) (1),
    the Board finds that
    the Land
    &
    Lakes
    Co.
    has violated the provision
    alleged
    in the
    amended
    Administrative
    Citation.
    Since
    there
    is
    one
    (1)
    such
    violation,
    the total penalty to be imposed is $500.00.
    It is hereby ordered that, unless the penalty has already been
    paid, within 30 days of the date of this Order the Land & Lakes Co.
    shall,
    by certified check or money order payable to the State
    of
    Illinois and designated for deposit into the Environmental
    110—71
    Protection Trust Fund, pay a penalty in the amount of $500.00 which
    is to be sent to:
    Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
    Fiscal Services Division
    2200 Churchill Road
    Springfield,
    IL.
    62706.
    This docket is closed.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
