    ORDER OF THE BOARD
    (by J.
    D.
    Dumelle):
    This matter is before the Board on its own motion.
    A letter
    was filed with the Board on July 16, 1990 by the respondent.
    The
    letter objected to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s
    (Agency)
    filing of an Administrative Citation when other options
    could be pursued.
    The Board is construing this letter as a
    Petition for Review pursuant to Section 31.1 of the Environmental
    Protection Act
    (Act).
    When a petition for review is timely filed with the Board to
    contest an administrative citation,
    Section 31.1(d) (2)
    of the Act
    requires a hearing be held and a decision made based on the
    record of that hearing.
    The hearing is held pursuant to Section
    32 of the Act.
    If, after a hearing, the respondent
    is found to
    be
    in violation of the Act,
    Section 42(b) (4)
    of the Act requires
    the Board to impose a penalty of $500 for each violation plus any
    hearing costs incurred by the Board and the Agency.
    This Board order is issued to notify the parties of the
    Board’s action taken today.
    The Clerk is ordered to send copies
    of the Environmental Protection Act and the Board’s Procedural
    Rules to the respondent.
    If the respondent wishes to withdraw
    the petition for review,
    such motion must be filed with the Board
    by August
    13, 1990.
    If the petition for review is withdrawn,
    a
    default order will be issued and respondent will have to pay $500
    for each alleged violation only.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I,
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control
    Board, hereby certify that the above Order was adopted on the
    _________
    day of
    ______________,
    l990,by

    ~
    32.
